Aim: I want to come up with ideas of what to make in my passion project.
What have I completed: Today I found some ideas on what I wanted to make.
I asked lots of people on their different ideas and came up with my own.
I have found my idea of making a volcano. I also found out all the equipment I needed.
My challenges today we're talking to lots of different people because it was awkward and I got nervous.

Aim: I want to research and find different ways to erupt a volcano.
What have I completed: Today I completed my entire plan on what I will be making.
I have found all the equipment I need and have made the method of making a volcano.
I choose to make a volcano because I found it really interesting and I thought it would be fun to make it
erupt. My challenges today we're finding out how much product I was going to need.
Another challenge was that my group kept finishing earlier then we needed.
Next time I will start building my project.

Aim: Today I want to start making the volcano.
I want to start the base of the volcano and attach the bottle to the base.
We would also like to start shaping it.

What have I completed: Today we completed the structure of our volcano and paper mache it.
We started working out our ratio for the elephant toothpaste and came up with a good one.
20ml Potassium Permanganate, 25ml hydrogen peroxide and a squirt dish soap.
We did fail a couple of times while working on the elephant toothpaste but solved what had happened.
One of the times we have the wrong potassium permanganate.
We have 0.02 potassium permanganate instead of 0.2.
Next time we will start painting our volcano and then we will be ready to erupt it.

Aim: Today I want to start painting the volcano and try to finish the painting.
If we finish painting then we might add some details to it to make it look more realistic.

What have I completed: Today we completed the painting and adding details to our volcano.
We also got to do one more elephant toothpaste experiment and it worked really well!
We struggled with the painting because we couldn’t get the right brown and we kept making less paint then we needed so it looked a bit funky. We finally came up with the right brown and looks a lot better
then it did. We printed out some photos of dinosaurs and stuck them to our volcano.
Next time we want to start researching more information on why volcanoes erupt and what makes
them erupt and start getting our cardboard presentation ready.

found out about volcanoes.
found out about volcanoes.
What have I completed: Today I completed the writing for the poster our group is making.
We come up with lots of group ideas and laid them out into a style that we liked.
I think we struggled with finding the information to the ideas but once we did it worked out really well.
Next time we are hoping to read over what we have written and fix any mistakes and then start
setting out the layout on some cardboard.

What have I completed? Today I completed the rest of the presentation and did some chores for the
teachers because everything my group had is now finished. Also finished my science test and
now we are ready for next week. This project has been fun to make and I would do it again.
