Measurement Test

Today we took the measurement test. Having missed 2 days of class this week, I was very nervous heading into the test. But I found the test to be easier than I expected. I did get caught up on a few problems so I just saved those for the very end. I sharpened up on what I felt I needed to after the quiz and felt the new material we had learned was very easy so all in all I would say I feel very confident about this test.

Measurement Quiz

Yesterday we took our measurement quiz and if I'm being honest, it was pretty easy. The only thing I had trouble with is that I was rounding to significant numbers while adding, not significant digits, so I had to go back at the end and fix those answers. Other than that, however, the quiz was quite easy.

Mole Day

In honor of National mole day, we had a project where we were required to make a stuffed mole with a theme. My theme was "guacaMOLE" so I make my mole green and placed it in a bowl if tortilla chips. My personal favorite mole was one of my classmates that was themed as a "stripper mole" and she put a mole in a provocative outfit on a spinning globe like it was dancing on a pole.

Pre-Lab Quiz

Today we took the pre-lab quiz for the asprin lab. I was not the only one in my group who didn't pass but nevertheless, I did not pass. I was focused on memorizing too general of concepts like the procedure and products and reactants. I didn't not study those things because I was being lazy, I simply didn't think to. Next time, I will focus on knowing chemical formulas and quantities as well as those general concepts.

Unit Test

Today we took the unit test over atomic structure and radioactivity. I would have to say it was a relatively east test, but I'll keep my fingers crossed considering I felt the same way about our last test. I would definitely say I felt more comfortable with the material concerning the unit we covered rather than the review questions but I do feel I was refreshed and got the hang of them the further into the test I got.
