Filtering Vegetable Oil: Day 2

       Today in class we could not heat the oil on hot plates because too much electricity was being used in Miss Rioux's room and the breakers kept switching off. So we decided to pump some oil out of the barrel, fill two buckets, and filter the oil twice instead of once. When we filtered the oil a second time we noticed there were still particles in the oil, so it was a good idea for the class to filter it twice instead of once. While the the boys in our class were filling the second bucket of oil, the pump soon became clogged. They took the pump off and checked to see if it really was clogged. I am not exactly sure what happened, but I think someone pumped the pumper when they were checking to see if it was clogged, but the end of the pump was facing one of the students and the vegetable oil splattered all over the student and the floor. We had a hard time trying to remove the oil off the floor so no one would slip and fall and injure themselves.
