Aunt Elda's Anesthesia Lab

How to Measure Anesthesia
How to make the percents of the anesthesia: to make 10%, subtract 10 from 100, which is 90. so 90% water and 10% green dye (anesthesia) To make 15%, subtract 15 from 100, which is 85, so 85% water, 15% green dye (anesthesia) and so on with 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 100%. 100% is all anesthesia no water.
How to Set-Up
Because the cord of the colormeter doesn't fit in the computer, there is a box you can hook it into and then plug the box into the computer with the USB.
The Colormeter
This is the box you put the tubes of anesthesia in to measure the absorbent level.
Anesthesia Test Tubes
These are the tubes of anesthesia that you are testing in the colormeter
How we Think Aunt Elda Died
Anesthesia
Levels of anesthesia do matter. Too much can kill you and too little can make it so you can still feel what is going on. Like surgery or other things. You can have up to 40% of anesthesia, but any more then that will cause death.
Colormeter
We think Aunt Elda had too much anesthesia. And to find out if she had too much or not we need to test the level of her anesthesia she had. And we do that in the Colormeter that is hooked up to our computer. We also record our information in LoggerPro, a graphing app on the computer.
