Cinco de Mayo Oil Project Day 2!

Today we started our day with putting on our lab equipment such as goggles, aprons, and gloves. We had filtered almost an entire 5 gallon bucket of the oil, and we started to work on the last two that we had leftover from yesterday. We used and stretched out a cheese cloth to cover the surface of one of the 5 gallon tubs, and filtered that through another tub. We repeated this process 2 times, for 2 buckets. When we finished cleaning out the buckets, a couple of people went outside to clean them out. It took lots of teamwork to help bring the buckets outside, and back inside, and this went on for about 20 minutes. When we came back inside, we were almost finished, but we had to clean up. We washed the cheese cloth, washed our hands from the oil that could get in from our gloves, put our gloves away, took off our aprons, and also went the goggles. That was the conclusion of Day 2, and I'm looking foward to more!
