Discussion of ideas-

• motorized sunglasses

Put colored 'votes' next to ideas

Lights that change with the weather- an animation that shows the weather

Music based on mood

This is what is done in improv theatre- each person builds on what the previous person has done---"yes---and-----"

Smart speakers

Tata-

• Hydroponics system
• Laser tag gun
• Tesla coil music
• Building Robot

Break into small groups- coalesce on one best idea-- "yes and____"

Put one best crazy idea on the board:

• Flaming sword that slices and toasts bread, adjustable intensity
• Scooby Scooper- robot that picks up dog poop
• Trash talk--"don't talk trash"
• Drone that can save people from fire
• A trash can that detects materials and yells at you if you are sorting it wrong

Narrow it to a feasible project.

• Plane that detects fires and sends GPS Coordinates
• Puts out fires- semi-autonomous
• Use AI to detect fires

Brayden:

• Drone that can save people from fires
• Robot in Barcelona that can locate a person in a smoky room

Poly Density Beads: What do you see? Different sizes and colors of materials--looking for observations, not opinions

Buoyancy Bottles-- don't jump to explanations--be open to observations---see it with fresh eyes

When the 1L Poly Density Bottle is shaken, the blue and white beads mix as expected. However, when allowed to settle, the beads actually separate - white at the top and blue at the bottom. Then, the separated beads slowly come together in the center of the liquid. How often do you see something floating in the middle of a liquid? The Poly Density Bottle is great for illustrating many concepts, including solubility, density, miscibility, and the 'salting out effect'. Order spontaneously forming from disorder is unexpected and gives the illusion of a violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. (Isopropanol not included).

How the Poly Density Bottle Works:

Water and isopropanol are soluble with one another in any proportion; they are miscible. Both the water molecules and the alcohol molecules have -OH groups that easily hydrogen bond to each other. The sodium chloride salt particles, Na1+ and Cl1-, however, preferentially bind with the water molecules forcing the alcohol molecules out of the water solution. This causes two layers to form: the isopropanol on top and the more dense water and salt layer on the bottom. This is because isopropanol and salt water are immiscible; they are not soluble with one another in all proportions. This 'salting out effect' is commonly used to remove organic molecules from an aqueous solution.

When the bottle is shaken, the two liquid layers momentarily mix, forming a pseudo-homogenous mixture with a density between the two separate liquid densities. The white beads with a lesser density than the liquid mixture float on top, and the blue beads with a greater density sink to the bottom. Then, as the aqueous salt layer separates from the alcohol, the blue beads rise in the bottom aqueous layer and the white beads sink into the top alcohol layer until they meet in the center. From lowest density to highest density, the order is as follows: isopropanol, white beads, blue beads, and salt water. Because the beads float between the two liquids, the actual isopropanol/saltwater interface is difficult to observe, adding to the mystery.
