Purpose:
Since it has been colder this year and is always cold during the fall and winter months, we needed something to keep us warm. By creating a hand warmer, there would be multiple uses. Many sports are starting to practice in the cold, foggy weather and we cannot forget about the games. Both the players and the parents or fans could use our toasty inventions to keep them a little warmer. Our task was to create the most useful, inexpensive, and safe hand warmer. After all the groups have presented, we will vote on one to sell in the student store and hopefully make a profit.

Reflection:
For this project, I was in a group with Parker Spencer, Lindsey Loeber and Madi Jones. In a way I enjoyed doing this project. Although, it was hard to grasp the concept of it all into science and making it work. I felt a little as if we were rushing some ways through our project, but it ended up working out. I believe our group pulled together in the end but throughout the process it was a little skeptical. We did not manage our time well. Although, I have to admit when we wanted to do our testing we did not have the right salt which limited our data to rushing it once we finally got lithium chloride. Our group should have split up the work a little more. We should have put more of everyone's ideas into all of the planning. Nearing the end we pulled together better. While presenting we all had a good stance on what each of us had to say. One thing that is a huge plus from our group is that we always got along. We had understandings and were able to communicate it a very civilized and conscious manner.
