Today I had to choose a project for my PBL this year. I wanted to do a construction project so I chose 1000 pins in a bowl.

Today I will be conducting my experiment for the first time. I have been studying about surface tension and the theory itself. I've also read instruction manuals and videos on how to do this experiment.
So I just conducted the experiment and it was a success. I successfully created a bubble over the bowl. I took pictures and and videos of the experiment.

Today is the day that I show my project in public. I'm going to a stem expo. The stem expo that I participated in was called Houston Tech Street 2013. At the stem expo, many other science demos and experiments were already there.
Tech Street 2013 was a great success not only for me, but my school. Many people enjoyed my presentation of my experiment as well as understanding it.

Today my school held a showcase of all of the physics projects in our school. Students from 7th-11th grade saw my project and had a chance to interact with it. Many of the students liked my project and thought it was amazing that water can create a bubble over a bowl.
