May 4






Today Ray and I finished our ferrofluid. First we added 200ml of kerosene to our mixture. The mixture then turned orange with bubbles on the top. Our mixture of ferrofluid was supposed to have a dark substance on the top of two layers. However, we had five different color orange layers. We divided the layers in to separate beakers to test if they would react to the magnet even though they did not look right. Unfortunately, none of the mixtures reacted to the substances. Therefore, we were not successful in creating ferrofluid. As a team Ray and I still learned new information on ferrofluid and how to correctly make it next time we try.
