TASK 2 Criteria A: Planning

Use the chart below to mind – map ideas for your chosen personal project topic based on your
personal interest. What do you hope to gain and learn from it? Spend time thinking which
product/outcome you would like to create and ensure this is a project that can maintain your
interest and enthusiasm for an 8 – month duration.
 We are going to make a DIY stem kit for bath
bombs. Ingredients needed to make one are1 cup
baking soda.
1/2 cup citric acid.
1/2 cup Epsom salt.
1/2 cup cornstarch.
coloring pigment - optional.
2 1/2 tablespoons almond oil - or melted coconut
oil.
3/4 tablespoon water.
