Monday: Today we finished the lab. Today was also an interesting day because Mrs.G wasn't here in guided study. Today when we finished the experimental part of the lab we had the same groups.So we dipped magnesium, and other chemical strips of that kind of metal in nitrates, and acids.So the magnesium stip was the most reactive. Today was a good day.
Tuesday: Today we mostly studied and took. Today we also took a lot of time and we practiced identify covalent bonds and ion bonds. The we kept on reviewing the notes.We have an open binder test on Monday. Today wasn't very eventful, but it was just like a high school chemistry class!! It was interesting learning about all this stuff because we learn about how two things react and bond.
Wednesday:Today we learned about balancing equations. This is really hard at first but when you get used to just looking at it gets easier. I took notes on this on youtube videos, so I really understand it now. That was all we did today. Today was pretty chill.
Thursday: Today we got a new lab that required burning so it was really fun today. We burned magnesium which after burned produced a white powder. This was an extremely cool experiment. We used a bunsen burner again. Those burners get really hot so that is why we used it. When you stare at the magnesium burning it will scorch the retina of your eye so we had to be careful.
Friday: Today we worked more on our lab. We worked and questions on lab that included balancing equation, so that was fun. We also burned copper. After it burned it was a powdery black substance. It was really cool. When Mrs.G deleted it with water the water was pitch black.
Improvements:I could improve on making my handwriting more understandable and making my locker more organized.

Monday- Wasn't here, in another state!
Tuesday- There wasn't any school, Veterans Day!
Wednesday: Today I finally end my short break from being out of the country! Today we basically went over our study guide that we did, and we went over the whole unit using a little periodic table. So when we went over the study guide and I knew it all, because while I was on the plane I went over the whole Unit like 6 times, so I felt I knew it well. Then Mrs.G gave us a periodic table which excluded the noble gases and the lanthanides and actinides. Then we had clues to give us hints were we were supposed to put them in.
Thursday: Today we took the test. It was a little shorter than I thought it would be, but I got a good grade on it. I got a 95 on it!! I am really happy, and I studied really well. That is all we did today.
Friday: Today we went over our test and we also did another part of our lab. Since we did a good job on our tests we got donuts and Milk while having lunch. Then we did the other part of our lab. The only thing that reacted with copper was suffer. So that was interesting.
Improvements: I could prove on my organization and my handwriting.

Weekly blog
Monday: Today we had a substitute. Her name was Mrs. Trainer, she seemed like she was nice. So today we didn't do much. We started and finished our fact sheet about our element project. My element is Zirconium. It was very interesting to see what zirconium is all about. It was was also fun reasserting about this element. So this projecting about making a periodic table. But since we only have 45 middle schoolers in our school we only went to the number of 45 atomic numbers. We are making what we see on the periodic table. We are making these models out of cereal boxes. Here are all of the elements that everyone chose. That is all we did today. Happy Monday!!
Tuesday: Today we talked more about our unit, we also did an experiment from our lab that we got today. So first we took notes and we learned about metals, non-metals,and metalloids. This part of the unit was also interesting because it is interesting to learn about how things and made and how the earth is made up of different things. This whole unit is very interesting. Science is very interesting!! The experiment we did was turning two substances into a pink substance. The equation was AgNO3+NaCl=AgCl+NaNO. If you didn't realize but these are exactly the same letters as the original answer and they are just in a different order. This was an interesting thing to talk about.
Wednesday: Today we worked on our lab more. We did the other two experiments and we also did some of the questions we had on our lab today. One of the experiments we did today was an interesting experiment because we turned a liquid into a solid without heating, or cooling it. It was just another cool reaction. Today we also put seltzer tablets into a small water bottle and we closed the lid. We didn't wait for it to explode but we weighed it and then we took the cap of and we weighed it again and we saw if it was the same mass as the other one. Lastly,we did some of the lab questions on the lab.
Thursday: Today we painted our boxes that we have due on next Friday. I painted mine orange with the bottom of it black. Today was more of an art class than a science class. My element is Zirconium. It is an interesting element. We also continued doing our science fact sheet. We are going to bring your box home so we can put things on it that relate to that element.
Friday:Today we some more notes on our chapter. We also finished it today. Our test on it is on Thursday of next next week. I am going to start studying now so I can get a good grade on it. Today we also studied in class by matching note cards together with a partner. I think that I will study hard and try to get a good grade on this test.
I could improve my handwriting and my studying.
