Filtering oil...Day 1

Today in class we split into 2 groups of 10...one group filtered the oil and one group heated the oil.  I was in the filtering group so i dont know what really happened with the heating oil group.  The filtering of the oil made a huge mess!  The filtering did work though, we usede a paint strainer and poored the oil in to a bucket with a paint strainer wrapped around it.  My recomendations would be to put wraps on the floors or have something on the floors so that cleaning up inst hard.  Another recomendation is that we should filter the oil on the ground and not on the table, to get a better reach on the oil.  And my last recomendation is to get a pump to pump the oil out of the bucket so it doesnt make a mess.  AND I AM PUTTING THIS SENTENCE ON CAPS LOCK AND MAKING IT GREEN BECAUSE WE ARE USING FOAM CUPS WHICH ARE BAD FOR THE ENVIORMENT!!!!!....AND WERE DOING A PROJECT ON MAKING ECO-FRIENDLY BIODIESEL,SO WE SHOULD GET A PUMP AND SAVE OUT PLANET!!!!\
And no I am not a tree huger its just that using foam cups are bad for the earth and to save time and a BIG MESS we should use a pump to get the oil out of the bucket instead of foam cups.  Ok I will stop wring now...I know its probably driving you crazy to read all of this.

  1. I liked the comment about the pump because today our teacher put a pump today instead of using the cups. What you said was right and it's true that we shouldn't have used cups. Way to go!

  2. Instead of using foam cups, we used the biggest beakers that we could find in the class. Miss Rioux told us to pump the oil into the buckets. Good Job!!
