Wow, i cant believe this is actually the last time ill be blogging to u about my srp!!! It feels like ages since it started and its been such a journey!!! Well i have finished my report!!! And i am very content with the final product!! So now i thought id take a trip back memory lane and post some of the pictures of when i first started the experiment to now, just so u can see all the progress thats been made!
The first lot of pictures are the end of wk 2 ones, the second lot of pics are from teh end of wk 1 and the last lot of pics are from the beginning!
end of wk 2 pics :)
end of week 1 pictures :)
start of experiment- equipment set up:
My self evaluation:
Ok well i felt that by doing this experiment, it was a great learning opportunity. Seriously, before i started this experiment i just thought evaporation was just when water went up into the sky and turned from a liquid into a gas!! Haha. But now i know SO MUCH more about this topic, not just an indepth knowledge about evaporation, but also other research areas of my experiment, such as learning about the two opposing scientific theories, surface tension (which i had no clue what it was before this), liquid pool covers, solid pool blankets, chemical properties of water and of chlorine. Wow thats a lot of research!!!
I felt that i really have put in a lot of hard work into the blogging. For over the past month ive been posting at least every two days, and sometimes every day!! And my blogs aren’t just short and useless, ive tried to include as much info as i could on things such as the experiment and how it is going, all the equipment, all the raw experimental data, and alot of background research!!! But ive also tried to include as many pictures, tables and graphs as possible to give u a visual idea and summary of what has been happening. Ive come a long way from at first spending an hour trying to figure out how to upload a picture on the blog site, and then i saw the little picture icon button lol. At times i got frustrated, because i posted such long blogs it took me forever to drag all the pictures down to the very end, and then itd stuff up all the wiritng and formatting, so id have to fix all that up as well! But then i realised why not just post the pictures and tables at the beginning of each post! Lol
Anyway, back to my research experiment, i really have felt that ive learnt A LOT from conducting the experiment. Even having a pool myself for years, i never really realised just how much water was lost through evaporation, that was until i saw the statistics and i was shocked!! It really taught my that investigating into which solution would prevent the most evaporation from swimming pools, would in the long run save a lot of water. And because water is such a costly and scarce commodity, especially in Australia, it is important to do all we can to save this natural resource.
