MSE work shadowing day 8!

Day 8
 Today we measured the weights of the different hydro-gels our mentor prepared before hand. A electronic weighing balance, similar to the ones we have in school, was used. The water in the small containers was taken out (we had to be careful not to accidentally suck in the gel too) before using a spatula to take out the gel.

Jun Yang and Ying Li's experience (Week 2: Batteries)
Today when we first arrived we met our mentor at the research lab. As always we were greeted by the large and many machinery that walled us in. It seemed like a never ending adventure, coming to a research lab. We went to have our lunch first, before going to the library to do up our innovation challenge. The Lee Wee Nam was huge and full of students studying all around. Perhaps one day that would be us studying at the tables. We thought hard and deep about what we wanted to do for the innovation challenge, and finally agreed on one that we felt was appropriate. You'll have to wait till Friday to find out what it is! Nevertheless as we returned to the lab, we helped ourselves to the pantry where we had tea and waited for our mentor. Unfortunately our mentor informed us that there was some issues that he had to attend to, and our day shortly came to an end.
