nature walk

I didnt learn very much on the nature walk because i already knew alot about nature. one thing that i did learn was the name of a tree called autum olive. some things that i did on the nature walk is walk with my partner and show her some different types of plants like milk weed and queen anns lace. i also taught her how to make leaf rubbings. my partner said that she had fun.
     my water chemistry test is dissolved oxygen in the water, this relates to my project which is hydrogen power in a couple of ways. one way is that u can use a process call electrolysis which is sending an electric current through water causing the water molecules to split releasing hydrogen and oxygen. another reason it relates is that when ever temps rise due to global warming the amount of oxygen in the air decreases causing organisms that live in the water to die, and if we stop using fossil fuels and use more hydrogen power this will stop happening.
     right now are project is going good we know pretty much exactly what we need to do to complete it we just have to get some supplies such as magnesium and all of the electrical supplies that we need to get to complete the circuit that we have to make to convert DC power into usable AC power.

     my role in the project is to find out about converting our combustion motor to run on propane and to get it running and figure out the reaction to use to make hydrogen.
