Week of 4/10-4/16

Beckman Group 1 tested the plate with 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 ratios of iron to aluminum since they increased the amount of aluminum last time so they can compare the effects of increasing ratio of iron to aluminum to effects of increasing aluminum to iron. Group 2 tested...

Weeks of 3/27-4/9

We’ve had a few weeks of slow activity due to Spring Break, but we’re back with some more updates. Only one month left until SEAL Con! Beckman Group 1 is testing their plate BHS-1-52, which they epoxied last week. The plate consists of ratios of 1:1, 2:1,...

Canyon Crest was able to test 5 plates and got good results from several of them (see below). They made two new plates using the new spotting template that was made last week, but will have to wait until they are tested to see how much of a difference it makes. One of...

Week of 3/13-3/19

Beckman Group 1 started baking their plate (BHS-1-52). This plate had 0.03 M of iron standard and 0.03 M of Al(NO3)3. The ratios of Al: Fe are 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, and 1:1. They are also going to make another plate similar to BHS-1-52 but will increase the ratio of iron...

Week of 3/6-3/12

Beckman Group 1 is spotting a plate with ratios of iron (III) nitrate to aluminum nitrate. Their plate, 1-52, will have four different ratios of iron (III) nitrate to aluminum nitrate—1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4, each ratio having their own section on their plate. Group 2...
