In general, our group successfully reached our target for today. Today we finished our experiment and started to do writing tasks, edit videos and design posters. Our experiment finally had a result that the arsenic reagent paper turned to the lightest level of yellow, which means that there surely is a really small amount of arsenic in the mixture of crab meat and tomato. So that we can eventually draw a conclusion about our myth based on this sign.
I basically finished the art design of our group poster today. Making poster was really interesting for me. As a visual art student, just as I predicted yesterday, I was motivated to design the poster just because I really wanted our poster to be good-looking and fancy. The only thing annoying was that the rendering process of photoshop was really slow on my computer and it took ages for it to add filters on my background. Besides, I didn’t have a mouse paired up with my pc so it was annoying as well when I edited pictures in detail. Now the tasks left to do for me is to fill in all the writings when my teammates finished them and do the final adjustments of the poster design once all materials are filled in (also remember to leave a space of the QR code).
As the “physics specialists” of our group, Ella and I also recorded a short video as the beginning of our introduction about physics applied in our project. Then we still need to record audio introductions to be edited with some pictures in our video.
Our group was surprisingly cohesive and friendly. We didn’t have any interpersonal conflicts at all. Although our experiment process was quite disgusting, we were all really responsible and were willing to do the “disgusting works” and cleaning jobs for our group. I am glad to be in the same group with them. I think the only problem of me in this project was that I couldn’t bear the disgusting smell of the final mixture. So that I couldn’t do the filtering job. So I spontaneously did the cleaning for our group.
