The purpose of the soap craft project is to cultivate precision in measurements and enhance understanding of chemical reactions.
This is me making soap in makers. it was really fun. and washing our hands is very important because so you can not spread grems to others.
This my 3d design that i did on tinkercat.i did glasses and a ball i like those things.
As you blend the soap mixture, you will notice that it begins to get thicker and more opaque. It will eventually thicken up into a consistency like a salad dressing. This point is called "trace."If you've made soap before, you'll notice that it takes a bit longer for this soap to reach trace than soaps with some other oils. It also is a bit thinner than many other soaps when it reaches trace. You can pour it into molds a trace, but it will take a bit longer to thicken up.
Once you have reached trace, you can add in your fragrance oils. My favorite is lavender essential oil. Not only do I love its scent, but it tends to be longer lasting than some of the other essential oils when used in soaps.
Pour the soap mixture into your mold(s). You can use silicone pans or molds, lined wood or cardboard boxes, or even plastic Tupperware type containers as molds if you don't have a mold specifically made for soap.
Set the soap aside and allow it to rest for several days. Pure Castile soap will take longer to harden than most other soaps. I think I unmolded mine (the one in the video) two days after having made it, but it was still very soft, almost like butter. I could have (should have) waited longer, but I wanted the mold for another soap. In any case, while soft, you can fix some of the surface imperfections by smoothing it with a knife (like I show in the video).
Wait longer for the soap to harden a little more before cutting the soap into bars (if you've used a large pan type mold). In the video, I think I had waited another 3-4 days. You'll notice that the soap had a lot more solid consistency and was already lighter in color.
Your soap is now finished, but will need to be left to dry out and cure for at least a month. This is a soap that really benefits from a long cure time. Some people even wait a year before using their pure Castile soap!
Reflection Questions
What was the final result?
to do the 3d scan on tinkercat . super broing
What do you know now that you didn't know when you started this project?
that a certain app like tinkercat could help us to do a 3d scan
What advice would you give to future students about this project?
it might be HARD but don`t give up on yourself and try our best.
What else would you like to try that you didn't have time for?
make fun of Blake for gum chewing.and call him a OLD MAN BABY. and rude nmaes with cuss words.
What proof do you have that shows you learned the project’s purpose?
to be responsable.
