Measurement Test Prep

Tomorrow is the big day in Pre-AP Chem for the measurement unit. We will test and figure out how much about the nonsensical sig figs and lengthy conversions along with a few other passing lessons that we know. It doesn't appear to be too challenging but it seems to be very easy to make a mistake that could cost you a few points. Surprisingly, I understand the rules for which numbers are significant, and I quite enjoy the conversion problems now that I understand them. It is only the application under stress that I must overcome. Only time will tell how it turns out.

By the way, today is national I love you day.... I love you

Mole Day Party

Today was a great relief. It was national mole day, so all of our classes got to have a mole day party in which we shared our animal creations and had food and fellowship. It was fun and was a great break to a stressful week. The food was extremely unhealthy and wonderful. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed many laughs.

Aspirin Lab

Well, I tried. I would have gotten the question right if there wasn't such a time crunch to the quiz. I knew the questions, but outlining the lab in 30 seconds just doesn't happen. So no one in the second group from my class passed the quiz, but we will have data from the first group which is very helpful. I am disappointed that I will not be doing the lab, because it sounds really intriguing and I have heard many good things about it, but hey there will be more labs in the future and I will be ready next time. Blessings to you all and I wish you good rest.

As I Prepare

Tomorrow, my friends, is the second shift for the aspirin lab. Today, is the day that I study a lab. My partner and I,  did this pretty cool thing where we highlighted our assigned duties(hehe duty) and used that to help us study in class and get ready for the pre lab question. I'm a little nervous for it, but believe that I am well prepared. Here is a photo of me and my new best friend the lab.

Wish me luck with studying and getting ready and I shall now return the favor by wishing you a night of focus and productivity... also I hope you get some sleep.

Archeology Lab Day 2

Wow, I am actually surprised I had enough brainpower for the lab today. For some reason i was just exhausted and it took me a little longer than it normally would to figure out who the missing girl was. I finally cracked the code and punched in the numbers and figured it out, and I really liked how it was a mystery we must figure out. I usually am really interested at those and enjoy the feeling of figuring something out after hard work. I was just very tired today and wanted to nap on the floor, so ya. I enjoyed it. Have a wonderful wednesday tomorrow everyone and may we all get wonderful sleep.

Collecting data for the "Dating-radioactive style" lab

Oh my goodness. It took a very long time. I acquired the help of my other to help sort and count, because i had a lot of homework to do and I didn't want the counting to take all night. However, it was interesting to see the outcome of the squares and on one of our half lives the amount that decayed was exactly half of the half life before it. I felt it tedious, but that it helped students gain the concept of half life, how hard work gains character, and some practice for our counting skills. Good night my fellow students and I hope you all sleep well.

Radioactive Decay Lesson

Today was our lecture on radioactive decay, which included alpha, beta, and gamma. I liked the lesson and thought it was easy to understand and simple once you got the hang of it. I liked the very last review slide she gave us that showed us all the information we needed in one place. This makes it easy to go back over when practicing and getting the lesson down quickly.

I wish the reader of this post a wonderful week and that one of your problems becomes solved.
