Atomic Theory and Radioactivity Reflection Post 3

Last week we conducted our Beanium Lab in class. I forgot to print out the lab worksheet so I had to quickly run to the library and print one from Schoology. After that, my lab partner and I finished our experiment which consisted of counting different types of beans and finding the average atomic mass of them. I could not access Adobe Editor of Microsoft Word so I was forced to submit my papers by taking a picture of them. I felt ashamed in doing so but I did not want to get a zero or a late grade.

Atomic Theory and Radioactivity Reflection Post 2

Earlier this week, on Wednesday, we had a test over Atomic Theory and Radioactivity. It was not too challenging but I did not get a 100%. I will study and review more for my next test to ensure an A. There was Nomenclature questions and questions about Dalton's postulates. I have about 50% of my star log done and I am anticipating finishing by the deadline.

Today we had our first lecture over atomic theory and radioactivity. I was attentive because i found it very interesting. We learned about Dalton's 5 postulates, the Law of Constant Composition and how to figure out the percentage of a given element in a compound. We also learned about JJ Thomson's cathode experiment and Rutherford's gold foil experiment and how it deflected alpha particles. we had a pre-test yesterday over the new unit. I feel as if I didn't do my best but i will definitely improve my score throughout the chapter.

Frontier Chemistry Project Reflection

During class today we finished up our blogs for the Frontier Chemistry Project portion. The hardest part for me was finding the plants in person and physically taking a picture of them. I excelled in the information gathering about the various plants. For me, the most fun was writing the essay with our given maladies. I know that sounds crazy but I felt like I was putting all my hard work to good use. It was also fun to think as if I was actually stuck in the wild with a broken leg and a gunshot wound. Overall I enjoyed the project but I disliked the picture taking.

During Chemistry class today we learned about how to do our daily blogs. Previously we learned about naming Type I, II, and III compounds. We also learned about the polyatomic ions. We had multiple tests over the curriculum. I had fun with the naming acids part because it made me more aware of the chemical compositions of common acids.
