VPD#1~Forming groups
We all have different circles of friends, so it was a bit hard for us to form groups. We promised that we would cooperate with each other, and listen to each others' opinions. We chose our topic on diapers, because it was quite interesting and that no other group chose this. We divided the work, because it was exam period at that time, and each of us chose 2 websites on diapers, both history and brands, and emailed them to Sienna. We found out that there were lots of brands and different kinds of diapers, like cloth diapers, plastic pants and disposable diapers. We also found out that there were many materials for making diapers, so we found out that doing a project on diapers would be interesting.

VPD#2~Experiment Procedure Meeting
We divided our work and did our procedures, but we failed 2 times in the process. At first, we thought of solutions but they didn't work out. So we tried a few more times and finally solved it: Measuring the amount of water that was spilled out in a measuring cup, and compare the amount of spilt water among the 4 diapers.
Mrs Au helped us during the process too, and asked us a lot of questions instead of feeding us the answers. We figured out our problems ourselves in our previous procedures, and thought a lot on how to make the procedures correct.

VPD#3~Our First Trial
Today in GS1 lesson, we tried doing our experiment two times by using Huggies and Moony brand diapers. We first tried Huggies, but it was a failure, because we accidentally spilled the water out of the diaper. But our second try with Moony was quite a success as none of the water we poured in leaked out. We learnt that Moony is better than Huggies because even though we poured 1 litre of water into Moony diaper it did not leak out any water but when we poured 500 mL on Huggies diaper it had already leaked some water. We all could not believe the truth that Moony is so good!

VPD#4~More trials and Discuss Changes made in Procedure
We failed more times again in the process, because there wasn't water spilling from the bottom of the diaper, but water started leaking from the sides! At first, we thought that we should pour the water that spilled out back into the diaper, but then, after we asked Mrs. Au, we measured the water that spilled out from the sides too. It was hard work to do all 4 brands of diapers 3 times, but we still managed to finish them.

VPD#5~Wrap Up of Projects and Final Touch-Ups
We were a bit behind on the experiment, so we were in a bit of rush in the last few days. In the last lesson, we managed to do 6 times in 2 lessons! We wrapped up the website, and finally finished the experiment and got the results.
