In class today, Amanda and I continued making our ferrofluid following the procedure instructions we made up serveral days ago. When we arrived to Mr.McCarthy's room, we were happy to find that there was a dramatic color change in the ferrofluid mixture. Since we made two samples of ferrofluid in class yesterday, we were able to utilize both by mixing them together. We poured 40mLs of the bright green ferrofluid into 40mLs of the dark brown ferrofluid. We then mixed the two, which changed the color of the liquids. We then added 400mLs of ammonia to the liquid and slowly stirred the mixture. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to cook the mixture today because it required at least an hour to boil it. We agreed that we would go to physics early tomorrow so that we'd have enough time to boil the substance. We hope the turnout of the mixture will be in line for our experiment.
