BOOKLET!

has everything under control! no all-nighter! yes.
i've just gotta finish the booklet..it's only 2 pages i'll survive.. If only they didnt put the science test on the same day... now i just have sheets flying everywhere. fannntastic.

I have done a reasonable(in my opinion) amount of my report. I just have to figure out how to exactly make my discussion 2 pages +. WHAT new points of interest???! But i'm staying calm, and i have more graphs to upload....wooo..

first trial...

and second.

Well under way!

I now have the results set, and the report+research under way! WOOOOOOOOO I'm gonna have the best weekend ever. Maybe. focus, focus, focus. I'm going to get it all done by Monday, not a second later.

the liquids which i have covered/immersed/pour over my cardboard tables with don't seem to be doing their job. HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING ALREADY!!!! the cardboard does seem to be getting crippled, but I'm not too certain that will have an effect on the Boost weighing.
the column graphs i am creating in excel are also causing me a great deal of trouble. not only do the results contain inconsistency, the layout of the whole graph is also dodgy. Excel won't let me label the axes with words! They're all numerical!!! None of the data makes sense with numbers!
Decimal points are stuffing up too. I've had trouble with it for the previous climatic graph when i had to use the comma as a decimal point for the european style or something. but then with the wavelength prac table it changed back to a full stop. now, it's back to commas AGAIN! but not in the table, ON THE GRAPH. so 6.00 would be 6,00. IT LOOKS LIKE 600!!

yep, if it wasn't implied, I hate Excel. And graphs.

I've looked at my results, and they don't look too attractive at the moment. Right now, I'm doing my experiment over and over again as many times as possible and i think i'll just use the two best sets.
Well, it's been quite interesting watching everyone being from quite relaxed to : ARRGGHHH! I'M SOO SCREWED! Hey, I'm probably one of those people, but I still find it amusing :[] I've been listening to people complain about things from basketballs to asian models. gotta love science, and everyone's dedication.
OKAY, I shall keep trudging on with my report, like walking back from activities at music camp. Very wet, very muddy, extremely drenched but hopefully, after all those massive puddles, make it out alive.

QUESTION.

OK so i've gotten my results and graphed it...
but since i've plotted all trials onto one graph, the same results from different trials have overlappped each other (line and line), so only one set for that particular number is visible.
Is that ok?! If not, how do I fix this problem?!!

Wood in Australia

I'm currently digging up ALL the treatments used on wood, lumber/timber in particular.

Right now, preservation methods are involving salt (borate preservatives, full-ceel processes, kyanising...). all involve adding salt amongst other solutions such as oxides, acids and water. I've also used oil in my experiment, which is also often used for keep wood and wood materials last and strengthen.

i'm also looking for wood corrosion-which water is causing on furniture...and of course naturally grown trees (spread of moisture, etc).

i've used cardboard as a substitute because CELLULOSE is what makes up the main part of paper and wood, and also because it's easier to manipulate. (i'm not sure if that's still the case :/)

current status - pictures from the experiment really.

what I started with:it wasn't going too bad.....

then water completely killed it and the double sided tape stopped working...
