Refection
This week we started doing epoxy and we used two different kinds and the first one had the less amount of bubbles and it was easy to pour. Then we also set up andrew's room with the epoxy tables so that we could do some photos in is room as well. Andrew Epoxy is a 50/50 mix of resin and hardener. The hardener acts as a catalyst to the resin, which means adding the hardener to the resin is what causes polymerization. A polymer is a chain of monomers linked together. An example of a polymer is PVA (Elmer's Glue) and borax. The monomer in this situation has two carbons with hydrogen around them on all of it's sides except for one. In the one open spot there's one acetate. This is what makes PVA or Polyvinyl Acetate. The borax acts as the catalyst, and adding it causes all of the monomers in the PVA to link together and create a polymer. Polymerization is just when he catalyst reacts to the monomers and causes them to form bonds with each other in all directions. This experiment help with the project because it helped us know what was going on with the materials we're handling. Now I know why the consistency of the epoxy changes while I mix it. Mike As a scientist they look at things in a way that they want to figure out what's going on and they just want to know how things work and with that makes them curious about what's going on and what is happening in a micro level. With artists they for the most part have a different look on things, as in some times they see the world differently and that uses curiosity because they are looking more deeper into things and trying to see thing more in depth. From the little i know about Philosophers is that they have learned something strange or unusual about the fact oe object. With this they must have been curious about that subject. With all this they all come to the fact that curiosity and wonder came into play, all in different ways but all together all wondered about something then their curiosity comes into play and they use those thing to see what's going on .
