Day 02 - Define the Problem

Yesterday you were to check out a NOVA Website on combustion. Today you need to ensure you have organized notes on that content, and then we will begin defining our problem for the candle project.

You are to imagine yourself as a new entrepreneur on Etsy and you are trying to figure out the specifics of your new cottage industry. On the table next to the window wall in the classroom you will see materials to which we will have access for the duration of this unit on combustion. You need to catalogue everything on that table. Those are your resources.

I'll add constraints to the project as we go along, so there's no need to worry about that part today. Just make sure your EDP report is in your individual folder and that it is set up for the 6 different phases of EDP work we will have to do. Consult the image at the bottom of this Web page as a refresher.
