Physical Science B(Thurs.)

Bellwork:
    1.  No Bellwork!

Check and go over the homework.

Remember that you presentation and final product is due this week Friday.  This is a 30 point assignment, please realize that this is a fairly big assignment.  Be sure to delegate responsibilities to your group members.  Each group will pitch the product on Friday. 

Lab: BioDiesel.  Today we will make the actual biodiesel.  The goal/objective is to give you a hands on experience of how this alternative fuel can be made.  The second part of the lab will require you to test the biodiesel that you have made and compare it to standard. 

I will work with half the class at a time to make the biodiesel.  While 1/2 is making the diesel, the other half should work on the vocab terms from the packet yesterday. 

When finished, work on your project and presentation.
