Weekly Blog

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.
