Project Preference
The project we decided to work on was the Beads Project. The concept of the project is just to transfer water by the beads given.

Problem Statement
The project that we will be working on is the Beads Project or also know as Project 0. What we have planned on doing is to use the least amount of beads to transfer 1/4 of a cup of water from one container to another.

Project Plan
First we had some questions to see if there were factors that would make the beads absorb water faster or more
 * 1) Does light increase the speed of absorbing?
 * 2) Does the temperature of water affect the beads from absorbing water?
 * 3) How much water can a single bead absorb?

Week 1 Narrative
My group and I all first tested how a bead reacts with water. We observed that the bead absorbs the water and it becomes like 8x bigger than the actual size of the bead. After analyzing the effects of how a bead reacts with water. We concluded to first see how much water is absorbed by one of the beads. After knowing how much water is absorbed by one bead I estimated how many beads will take to absorb 1/4 of a cup of water so it took me about 20 beads to absorb 1/4 of a cup of water. Now some of the errors that might have occurred and that I could've had done to use less beads is to actually be more patient and see how long it takes for a bead to reach its maximum growth and to also see how different temperatures of water affects the beads to grow.
