I believe that the experiments that I had got to perform went very well! There were some mistakes here and there but overall, after some trial and error, we got most of the results we had wanted/predicted. I would say that in the overall experiment, we didn’t get as far as we had wanted to but that is okay because I like the results we came out with.
