In chemistry we had a lab where the objective was to make soap like people did back in the day. This first picture is my group burning paper...lots of paper! We did this so that we could get a good amount of ashes.
This picture is of the mixture (ashes+mineral oil) that was supposed to make soap. After it was thoroughly mixed, we moved it to a little plastic container. While it was in the container, Justin and I burned a candle over it so that the wax would make the mixture thicker. The experiment didn't work. Mrs.Upshur-Dudley said that we should've used lard instead of mineral oil.
