17: ready, set, GO

just wanted to say that i've (finally) started my experiment. i did a few trials and thought they didn't really out, so i decided to restart it. thank gosh i did, because i've planned everything really well (i think).
i made a few more changes again. i've switched the 30mL of test liquid for each trial back to one tablespoon (or 20mL) because when i first put in 30mL into a test tube, it filled more than half the test tube.
also, i found evaporated milk at woolies and the fat content of it was around 8-9 %. it wasn't 20% like stated in the last post because it was actually 20% milk solids and if you've been paying attention, milk solids are actually the fat and protein added together. the "skim" evaporated milk had a fat content of 1.5% i think, but that's the same as low fat milk so i didn't but it. HOWEVER, i found some cans of reduced cream and they had of a fat content of 20-something, so i'll be seeing if they could be used instead.
every 3 trials takes about 30 minutes to do and i have to take pictures every minute. it's so annoying and my back is dying since i'm sitting on this tiny stool. it'll take me probably a bit more than 3.5 hours to do three trials for each test liquid.
i need to continue with my experiment now, so i'll post my results and pictures VERY SOON i hope. good luck to everyone! don't leave it to the last minute. :)
