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.
