First Stage: For the first steps of our project my group and I did research on lava lamps using the website http://oozinggoo.com/ This helped us to get more background on what we were doing and what the inportant information was. Mostly just about what type of body we would like to use. We also learned that the salt makes the water denser which causes the lava to rise. We then decided what we wanted our lava lamp to look like and Annika drew the first draft. We got in critiqued. The critique we got mostly explained how the light bulb would be touching the bottle and that shouldn't happen. They also suggested super gluing the bottle to the base. We got complemented on our base that we used and how it was the perfect size. Going forward and making our second draft we decided to space the light bulb and the bottle out more so they did not come in contact although we did not end up super gluing the bottom, because we used tape in order to be able to take it off when we would like. This is what our drafted looked like. I found this part pretty boring, but I knew it was a necessary part of the project. |
