ISATEST and fun stuff

In chemistry class we had to take the Isatest. It was kind of easy but kind hard i hope i did good on it. We also went over our review for our test on Friday. I did good on the review! The best thing we did in class was when we played with dry ice. It was so cool when we put it in the water it made smoke and when we put a balloon with water and dry ice the balloon began to inflate. Also when we blew bubbles the bubbles were attracted to the dry ice but they wouldn't touch them.I hope we do more fun stuff like that more during the year! That's it for this post more to come.

This week in chem class

Its me again! During this week in chemistry we did a lab titled "Subatomic Heavyweights". In this lab we used our knowledge on atoms and their protons, neutrons, and electron. For this lab we were given ten atoms and were told to identify their protons, neutrons, and electrons. Also in this lab we were given a cgart that showed a certain piece of information of the atom. From that piece of information we had to fill in the rest of the chart. Thats it for this weeks blog more comming soon.

Update on the Labs

Hey its me again. So this week in chemistry I had to sing a duet with Kim I didnt sing well but Kim did.Sadly we werent in the video but thats okay because I didnt want everyone to see me sing badly. Also in chemistry we did a lab where we sort the cards and put them on the periodic table.We had to sort the cards with the color, shape, and mass. I am glad to say my group did a really good job at this lab. We got the right answer on the second try. The other lab that we did this week was similar because we had to look at the a periodic table but this time instead of us making the groups we had to be able to idnetify the groups on the table. Thats it for this blog more comming soon!

Up date on the Labs we did

So last week we did 2 cool labs. In one of the labs we tried to guess what the item was in the container such as if it was a metal, nonmetal, metalloid, conductor, dull, or shinny. My group and I did very good at this lab we were right with almost all of our answers. The other lab we did in class was a lab in which we had to go to several tables and find the mass and voulume for certain objects. In some cases it was easy to find the answer but in other cases it was a bit more difficult. Also this lab was some what hard because it felt like we were being rushed, but other than that i thought the lab was good. This lab was also important to do because it showed us the mass volume and density equations, that reminds me of the songs Mr. Olsen taught us. More blogs to come soon!
