Cool Terms to Know:
Energy transfer: The conversion of energy from one form to another form.
Potential energy: Hypothetical energy, in this case, the energy stored by the solutions depending on the height, the energy within the bonds before they break, and the energy within the bonds as they are in an excited state.
Kinetic energy: Energy released, in this case, energy of the solution before it enters the container, the energy from the bonds as they break, and the energy released as the bonds release electrons.
Chemical energy: The energy released by light, as well as bonds breaking and forming.
Gravitational energy: Energy due to gravity.
Light energy: The energy released due to the release of electrons.
"Excited state": The state in which the bonds enter an electron level above its normal level, so it becomes unstable and releases electrons until it returns.

Reflection:
This project was a good way to connect with my team members, and combining our thinking to create an amazing product. The skills I exercised the most were communication, like how we were all connected on our thoughts for most of the project, and knew each others' strengths and weaknesses, and work ethic, where we worked productively everyday we had the materials ready. The only two skills I wish I used more was preparedness, like how we didn't have the materials ready and waited for them to arrive, and we spent a lot of time doing nothing but research because we didn't have the resources available, and also using better time management, with our tests and usage of project work time. I collaborated with my team to discuss the science behind the project, and we had to critically think to adjust our device to be more efficient than it was before, like with the different temperatures, and how we would test it.
