Looking Back: What Happened? Savreen and I struggled a little bit with the process of making the lip balm, we didn't have a hot plate available to us, so we tried putting the bees wax in the microwave but that burned the wax. Then we boiled water in the microwave and put it in a bowl as a make shift double boiler, that also didn't work out too well. The container our substance was in had a small opening at the top, which made it difficult to really mix everything well. Looking Inward: Humans Doing Science I don't think we achieved desirable results because it was almost impossible to use the lip balm, it was very hard and wouldn't leave the container it was in. I think the reason why our lip balm was unusable is because we were having to change our plan last minute, and get creative, what we thought was going to work, didn't. I think I performed well during this lab, I did everything I could to make the lip balm turn out well. Looking Outward: Collaboration and Impact I worked with Savreen, and I think we work really well together, we worked pretty efficiently and we both knew what we had to do in order to finish the lab. Neither one of us slacked off, we both brought in our materials on time, and we knew our plan. I brought in some materials, and I along with Savreen wrote the proposal and when Andrew gave us corrections I helped fix it. Looking Forward: What Next If I could do this again I would definitely use a hot plate, I would also use a different container to mix in. I think Savreen and I work really well together, so I would like to do another lab with her in the future. I don't think there is any way to continue this experiment, but we want to try this again and get the results that we expected. We plan on trying again very soon.
