Bio-desiel project

    This is a project where we are going to make bio-desiel to power a bus. Our goal is to get the bus to move and to have it run and go around a parking lot for over a minute. A formal lab report will be due at the end of this project. We are going to research how to make bio-desiel, how to purify used vegetable oil, and lots more intersesting things.
    When I first heard what we are doing for our project I thought it was impossible. I didn't think its going to work. I kept thinking what if this doesnt work? I felt excited but nervous. It was shocking to find out we were doing such a big project like this! I really hope this works because this will be such a cool experience!
     There are a lot of questions to ask. Is this going to work? What will happen ifsomething goes wrong? What if we don't purify the vegetable oil right? When the world runs out of oil, will this be the alternative oil? Will everyone be using this bio-desiel in the future? How do the chemical reactions work? Will we be writing out the chemical formulas? These are just a few of the many questions that are going to be asked. This project is both challenging and exciting!
