18: finished!

no, i have not finished my report, although i do wish that i miraculously had... i have finished doing my experiment and O-M-G it was horrible. instead of taking 30 minutes for every three trials (or for each test liquid per day), i ended up taking 40 minutes to one hour for each test liquid and it was a PAIN in the bum. it's over now though, just gotta do the report. what joy. T_T

anyways, the good news is that my research was somewhat accurate with whole milk producing a foam that was relatively okay in terms of volume (do not ask me what that means. you may not know, but i know exactly what i mean. ^^) and definitely did not last long.
i need to get my measurements for the test liquids into tables and i've taken heaps and heaps of photos, so i need to sift through them all. there's over 1000 photos, so that will take time. i took heaps of photos of the trials, but i totally forgot to take photos of my equipment & test liquids. my mum threw out the cartons before i remembered to take pictures, but oh well.
i also wanted to mention that the reduced cream did not work out so i've ditched that, as well as the cream because i had a mini epiphany and realised that my aim was to investigate which types of MILK produce a good foam with high volume and longevity. and cream is technically not milk. it's the fat part of the milk they remove from milk to make skim milk. so yeah.... i did do six trials of cream though, and the first three trials, i swear, almost turned to whipped cream.
i'll try get pictures up as soon as possible, although i'm more concerned about my report at the moment. however, we need to put the raw data up (i think) so i'll try get it on soon. i won't post all 1000+ photos on for obvious reasons (such as i can't be bothered & other people probably wouldn't be bothered looking through them), so i'll select a few to post.
i wanted to ask, do we need a risk assessment? it's not a sub heading, so i wasn't sure if we needed one...
i know results are going to be dodge because there is so much human error involved (much more than i expected), but thank gosh i did fifteen trials for each test liquid. some of the results were REALLY sus. oh well, let's just hope it turns out fine.
i think that's all i really have to say for now...

GOOD LUCK to everyone. & to those people who i know that have only just started doing their experiment, i wish you EXTRA GOOD LUCK. updates on my report & results soon. :)
