Science Lab

Today I have decided to blog about Science Lab instead of Computer Lab; I hope this is OK. In Science Lab, we had to wash motor oil off of a turkey feather without destroying it. My group chose pet shampoo, corn starch, and baby powder. Pet shampoo worked perfect, acing the smell, feel, and sight test. Cornstarch passed the sight test, but the feather still smelt and felt like oil. Baby powder crusted on the feather, and, in removing it, one of my partners separated the tiny furs hooked together on the feather, which would have killed a real bird. In all, pet shampoo works to clean a bird, but cornstarch and baby powder do not.
