This week is dedicated to preparing for our Cuyamaca camping trip next week! We need to know exactly what we are going to do during the trip and plan to get everything ready to go. We are learning everything about our astrophotography subjects from their placement and its equipment. We created Hitlists for our subjects to plan everything and are ready to go off on our trip! We received chapter two to continue reading and annotating Light by Bruce Watson. We finally received our landscape epoxy materials and continued to create and epoxy coat our landscape photographs.

We had planned to finish up our Landscape Phase this week, but unfortunately we had difficulties with our materials. We planned on printing out more final landscapes on metallic photo paper. Putting this phase on pause, we decided to begin learning about astrophotography! In this new project, we will be selecting a space subject that we will learn how to capture within our groups. My group will be working on landscape astrophotography! In Chemistry, we learned about organic chemistry to give us a better understanding of how the epoxy coating on the landscape shots work. We experimented with polymerization by making slime with Elmer's glue and boric acid. We watched an episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey that was based on light to understand more about light's history. In humanities, we started reading and annotating Light by Bruce Watson. The author discusses ideas of light from the beginning of time.
Coming back from Spring Break, we started working by continuing our Landscape Phase. Our teachers figured out a way we were going to exhibit our landscape shots. We are working on making metallic prints, mounting them on wood, and coating them with epoxy. We continued working in our specialty teams to work towards finishing up presenting our projects. A group actually found us a space in Liberty Public Market to have a place to show our work. We have a wall that we will be updating with photographs every couple weeks. We have put up six landscape photos that we have processed with epoxy. We all have to capture our final landscape photos to finish up our landscape phase next week.
