Weekly blog (Jan.26-30)

Monday: Today was a fun day, except that I already know that tomorrow it going to be way funner than today.  Tomorrow we are going to be chewing, or chomping bubble gum! Anyways, today we did our daily science starter, talked about the quiz that we have on Wednesday. We also started another lab. So we reviewed a little bit because we have our first quiz in physics on Wednesday. Mrs.G said that it is a little baby quiz so it shouldn't be that hard, and I am feeling pretty good. Today we also started our new lab. W got into groups and we are actually doing the experiment tomorrow, but we talked about it today. The lab is about ''chomping'' gum. So it will be fun!


Tuesday: Today we had a lot of fun!  We did some practice problems on a white board, and we worked on the Chomping Gum lab. Today I also got to ''chomp'' gum! I the beginning of class we  did our daily science starter, and then we went straight into reviewing problems on a white board. We reviewed problems with scalar and vector quantities. We also did some physics problems like figuring out the acceleration of an object, speed, and velocity. The very fun part of the day was working on our lab. We got back into our      groups,my group is Evan, and Anna. Yesterday we created a google doc and we figured out the question, hypothesis, and we made a chart. So today I found out that I was the test subject, which was fun, except   that in the beginning I bit my tongue. Today we also listed the different variables and my group finished the graph and we printed it out, so we are in good shape. Today was a fun day! 


Wednesday:Today was our first quiz in Physics. It was easy and it was a little hard at the end of the quiz, the question with the pythagorean theorem was a little hard but I feel like I did a good job. The beginning of Physics is understanding the terms and understanding the equations of it. I think that I understand most of it. That is all we did today. 


Thursday: Today was an ok day in my opinion, we reviewed our quiz and we finished our lab that we started on Monday. So we got our lab back and we very thoroughly went over it and even wrote down a list of the things that we missed and the things that we were/are confused about. I got an 84 which is a high c. I think that I could of done better. But it is what I got! After doing that we finished our lab. My group had to finish the procedure and the conclusion. Then we had to print it out and give it to her. That is really all we did today.


Friday:I felt like today was an easy day, because we didn't have any quizzes nothing to worry about for the next day and it is Friday! Today we went over some new notes, and we did a station activity with a partner. So first we our daily science starter about the 2nd law of Newton's laws. Then, did a little demonstration about an inertia. We put a flash card on or finger and then a penny on top of the flash card. Then we had to pull it out and the penny would be on the tip of our finger. After having that fun, we got into partners and we started the stations. I was with Will, we got it half way done.  I think that this was a good exercise to remember the inertia. 

Improvements:
I could improve on studying better and getting my labs finished. I think I should improve my study habits and start focusing more when we do labs.

Monday- Wasn't at school. Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Tuesday: Today was definently a good start. Today was the first day of the the second semester and the first day of the second art of the school year! I think today was a good start because we went straight into it. We talked a little bit about what we are doing in physics in the next two quarters, we are making catapults, dropping eggs, and a lot more. Today we also took notes on the first two sections in physics. It was unit 1 motion, Mrs.G said that if we are good at math it wouldn't be as hard. So tonight for homework we have to do 13 vocab words to do on physics. I am not really sad or happy that we starting physics but we will see!


Wednesday: Today we started a really fun lab and we went over some more of the physics notes. I think that my classmates and I were really tired today too. We had a very fun weekend and we also had a 4 day weekend so it was fun. We divided into different groups and we started to work on our worm lab. In this lab we raced worms and we found the displacement and the distance they went. I think that this was a really fun way to understand the meaning of these words. My group still has to finish the lab, it is due on Friday. While taking the notes we talked about scalar and vector quantities. I think that today was a fun day.

Thursday: The science olympiad people weren't in science class today, so we went to Panera bread and studied there. My events are Air trajectory, write it do it, and duct tape challenge. I had a lot of fun at Panera.


Friday: Today we got right back into science class, we took notes and finished our speed worm lab. Today we also had a shadower. So first we took noted on resultant quantities. We had examples on different situations. We  only took notes for 10 minutes, so there isn't a lot to talk about. Next, we finished/continued our lab. I was in a group with Varun,and Jonathan. Jonathan was a shadower that day so it is only me and Varun. Since the Science Olympiad people weren't in science class or guided study we had to rush and finish it today. We actually only finished the graph but we still have to do some questions on the lab this weekend. I think that this was a fun and rushed lab. Today was a relaxing day for me.

Improvements:
I could improve on making my handwriting neater. I could also improve on making my binder neater. I think I could take it home and organize everything.

Weekly Blog (January 5 to 9)

Monday:Today was a really tiring day and most of the people in my class were tired including me. Luckily, science class is at the end of the school day so we were not as tired as we were in the morning (Math Class). Anyways, today we went straight into midterm studying. We talked about only studying Unit 1 today and continuing the other units on other days. For homework I am only studying sig figs, precision and accuracy, and the scientific method. We did a review sheet and we went over the answers. We could either do it around the room or on the computer. I felt that today was a good day, and I definently had to remember a lot. I was also surprised that we are almost in our second half in the school year. It definitely went by fast. I can already tell that this week is going to be a stressful week. Today I could prove on recalling all of the topics from unit 1. Once I work on the topics I will remember it and it will be easier. That was all we did today.



Tuesday:Today was a good day because we really started to get onto studying Today we studied unit 2. While we were studying we had little fun games that we tried in between questions. We had to answer different questions about the unit, my partner was Lauren. Here is a funny picture of one of our games.

This game was to get the vanilla cracker to your mouth only using facial expressions and under a minute. This was really funny game. I didn't get into my mouth and it fell and I just ate it. I felt that this was a good break to do in between questions. Mrs.G always finds a good way to spend our break!
That is all we did today.


Wednesday: Today was one of those days that is not bad but it wasn't the best. Today we studied Atomic structure and theory. This is about the periodic table and the different number of protons and electrons. We also studied a little about the different people who discovered the atom. J.J. Thompson, Bohr, and other people. We played more games and we took good breaks. One of the games was to hit all the cans on the ground with only a yoyo tied to your waist, your are only allowed to use your waist. You can spin also. This was another good way to spend our break. I felt that I had to remember a lot but it was still good.

Thursday: I felt like today was a good/funny day. We focused on reviewing the periodic table and reviewing the different trends on the periodic table. Today I had to do a lot of remembering of the past. We had a lot of fun today, we played a game where u are in a group and we had to answer questions with your group. We also had bonus questions, and on one questions you had to find the owl on the questions. The owl was like 1 mm. on the screen. Like I said Mrs.G always finds a good way to study and have fun! I was in group with Lauren and Keira. Every time we talked about the answer we would have to whisper, they had good whispering voices and I didn't, so it was way easier for me.  I felt like today was a good day for me and my classmates.

Friday: I is finally Friday! But it actually isn't that relaxing science we have midterms. I am not really stressed about the science midterms, but I am really stressed about the social studies exams. Anyways today we reviews unit 5 and 6, we combined the units together and it basically has the same amount of information in it. These units were about bonds and ions. We did the same game that we did yesterday, and my team won! We got Hershey's chocolate bars This game is really fun, especially when you win! I think  today was a fun and good day.


Improvements:
I could improve on studying and trying to remember all the units in all the subjects.
