Today we talked to a water search and rescue liaison named Darrel Cashin about their problem with retrieving sunken boats underneath the water. The problem is the gloves are melting because of the chemicals in the used oil and gasoline from the boats. One of the chemicals was called hydro carbon. Neoprene is what their wet suits are made of. We are going to research for gloves that will protect them from any dangerous chemicals. The neoprene in the suit reacts with the chemicals in the water, and it can hurt the divers, and melt the suit. This can be expensive, and painful! Last week we completed our first successful mission! Here is a video:   How we felt when we completed this mission: Pygmy Puff 101: 😅😅😅😂😂😂 😈😈😈HHHHAAAAPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYY!!! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR: Thank you stick (shtick) of wisdom! Pygmy Puff 101: I'm the weirdest person here, but right now I feel the most normal. Coach's thoughts: I am really proud of the kids for getting that first mi

Cowboy says: These are some of our T-Shirt design ideas.  Mine are the ones with C3PO in it. Pygmy Puff 101 says: We each drew one, I drew the one that shows BB8, R2D2, and BB8 has a glass of water. Percy Jackson's is the most violent. Can you guess which one? (AT-AT) RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR says: I drew the one with the upside down trash can with a sink on top. MMMMMMMM.

In this photo we were entering the place where they put the chemicals in the water. Here we were looking at were the water first came in to the plant.  Here they put bubbles in the water and made the bad stuff float up. this was the teams favorite part. Here is where the chemicals were made and where they tested things. And these were the pumps underneath the filters that were cleaning the water. We also saw the place where they mixed there own chlorine.
