chemical reaction post 6

today I thought was the hardest lesson we have learned. I really struggled with it and I stink at memorization so I am very nervous to take this test when we come back from break. I still don't know how well the quiz went yet.

chemical reactions post 4

I thought the quiz today was not that bad. I voted for longer quizzes and so did most kids I asked, but I actually found the shorter quiz to be a lot easier. I am very nervous for the lesson tomorrow because it's supposed to be ground breaking.

chemical reactions post 3

I am feeling much better with today's lesson. It was easier then yesterday's and I seem to understand what we are doing. I am excited for the lab and fingers crossed that this is the first lab I actually I get to do and pass the pre lab quiz! as long as I don't get tripped up with the solubility rules

chemical reactions post 2

well, this unit is very confusing and I Amir very optimistic I will do well. it is just a lot to take in. I finally got what we were doing today in double replacements, it just took me all hour. I am very nervous to memorize all the rules for soulubility.

chemical reactions post 1

today was our first day of chemical reactions! I like this unit because THERE IS NO MATH! It is mostly a review from freshman year, which although I don't remember it, it isn't to bad. I am looking forward to the lab on Friday, hopefully I can pass the pre lab quiz!

chemical composition post 15

this picture i enjoyed because it is a hydrated compound but its the exact same example we had in class!! It really helped tie it into the lesson!

chemical composition post 14

these are hofbrincl's and they are easy to forget. The acronym makes it easier but this picture shows them in a shape of a 7 to highlight them.

chemical composition post 13

This is just a basic example of molar mass, overall molar mass is very simple similar to the example above

chemical composition 12

This is a simple picture, but on the quiz I tried using 6.23 instead of 6.02 so this is just an extra reminder

chemical composition 11

this will help me study and learn molecular formula

chemical composition post 10

I felt a little rushed with empirical formulas so this video helped a lot!

chemical post 9

This is a video on hydrated compounds!! It really lets everything make sense

Chemical composition post 8

this is a video on how to calculate molar mass and gives some helpful practice problems

chemical post 7

This is a cool mole conversion chart to help with my practice problems.

chemical composition post 6

This video is of converting moles, and it helped give me some background knowledge and warp my head around moles and how they work.

chemical composition post 5

I watched these videos over chemical composition and I'm hoping they help me this weekend to study.

chemical composition post 4

Today is a blog day, it is much needed. I adjusted some thing on my blog and I think I am starting to get the hang of blogging. We have a test on Monday and I need to do some studying over the weekend because my last quiz did not go to well.

chemical composition post 3

today we did a lab, I didn't pass the pre lab test but I actually worked hard with the data given to me on my notecard and found this class period to beextremely beneficial   and I understand conversions more and more each day!

chemical composition post 2

Today we did a lab similar to demensional analysis but with moles as measurement! supeisingly I understand this stuff a lot more then normal demensional analysis! I got all of my problems right on the lab and I am going to study so I get a better grade on this upcoming test!

I found the pre test to be hard, granted I haven't learned this material yet. I recognized moles I just wasn't sure what to really do with them. this unit looks like a lot of math and I am excited for that for I tend to do well with math. over all I am excited to start a new unit. I noticed we have a lab coming up and this time no pre lab quiz to hold me back!

matter and measurement post 11

This is just the rules I looked at before the test on sig figs to really drill it in so i didnt make a silly mistake on a zero.

matter and measurement post 10

We were kind of rushed during class and didn't get to go ever temperature conversions very thoroughly but this chart really helped things to click.

matter and measurement post 9

This video and practice problems really helped me enforce the whole idea of density conversions

matter and measurement post 8

This conversion chart helped me at the beginning of my project until frankenburg posted one on her blog, then i just used this as a study tool

matter and measurement post 7

This was the website I found on sig figs before the quiz. It really helped me! my mistake was not visiting it before our test.

matter and measurement post 6

This is a link on solids liquids and gases. It really helped me understand before we took the quiz.

matter and measurement post 5

All in All i really enjoyed this unit for chemistry. It was something I could understand through the lesson and actually something i thought i would use later on in life. Conversions i would say i have down pat, i only sometimes struggle with density and volume.
