Biodiesel Summary

In this unit, we learned about how many affects that diesel fuel has on the environment, and how biodiesel is the better choice. We also made our own biodiesel using the chemical reaction shown above. Once we had our fuel, we constructed boats to race using our fuel. Addie and I's boat came in 1st! We were very excited to have our hard work pay off. I enjoyed the environmental aspect of this unit very much! Here are some links to better inform you of what biodiesel is and does:
