light lab

On tuesday we did a light absorbancy lab test. We took three solutions from a big bottle and stuckk them in a test tube and put the test tube in the light absorbancy machine. We figured out how much absorbancy each solution has and then later last friday we graphed it on google docs.
this lab was very intresting and cool at the same time! I enjoyed this lab.

upcoming unit test on bonds and light!!

i am very nervious for the upcoming unit test. I kinda of understand the material put it can be very hard to comprehend. The ionic and covalent compounds are really hard and i don't really get it, sometimes. Hopefull the new unit review game will help. i am hoping to do well on the test and boost my grade to help my gpa!!

friday computer lab! :)

This friday we watched the end of the Einsten video! It was intresting on all the discoveries that lead to the major concepts of chemistry today. After finishing the movie we exchanged glossaries with a partner we chose and put in new definitions. It was hard because my computer kept freezing!!! Ohwell we finished and then the bell rang.

homecoming!

homecoming was really fun! The Dance was ok and the dJ was just ok too. The generator or something broke so they had to stop it. Then a girl popped her knee out, so they had to stop the dance again and move it outside. After that we could go back in, then the dance ended. Was a fun nite afterall! Went to in and out after!!

Fire Lab!!!

This past Tuesday, we did a lab with FIRE! It was a lot of fun. We took certain chemicals and put them under fire. When the flame burned the chemicals it emitted a different color. For example, Aluminium burned maybe a Pink and so on...
We also did some readings on the different layers or shells of an atom, but it was very confusing!
i don't get it! I'll just to read it better!!!!!
Overall a fun week!!!!!

pennies and more!

This week we worked on a lab with pennies. Tha lab was called the half-life stimmulation. We took 100 pennies and shook them in cup; then fiugred out the reatios and took away the face-up pennies and reapeated the step with the tail sided pennies. First our group did the experiment wrong but we figured out the pattern after. It wa very successful! After the lab we watched a movie on the famous Albert Einstein. It talked about other famous chemists during the French Revolutions. Overall a very fun filled learning week.
