So we decided to revisit our models of fog to prepare us well to design our fog machines! It's important that groups come to a consensus for how they think fog is made so when they begin engineering, they'll know what to do! Here are a few groups' models of the difference between when fog is present and when it's not present.
There were a couple ideas that surfaced:
1. Fog happens when there's a lot of humidity in the air, so we would have to get a lot of water into the air with either the humidifiers or by boiling it.
2. The water must clump together (we know water molecules are attracted to each other) and the the more they clump together, the more they are visible. Since we see fog, we must have to push these pieces together either by forces them together with less space, or cooling them down.
And our conversations led us into our designs! We planned out our initial fog machine designs individually, and then came together as a table. Be on the lookout for our fog machine results! Fingers crossed we make thick, low-lying, long-lasting SPOOKY FOG!
