Gas Laws Lecture 2

Today we covered partial pressure and density equations. This supported my thought that this unit will cover more math than concepts amd I look forward to killing this test!

Gas Laws Quiz

This quiz had a bit more concepts than I expected. Now that I understand those, I imagine the rest of our information on this unit will be math related. 

Air Bag Lab

This was one of the hardest yet most fun labs of the year. We were given the job of making a baking soda and vinegar airbag in a ziplock bag, the reat was left up to us. Figuring out the equations to determine how much product we'll need, actually figuring out how much we need, and being able to determine how voluminous our bags were. It was a task but very relieving that my bag passed the requirements!

Gas laws lecture

This unit could definitely cause some issues. There are a lot of things that need to be memorized, mostly the pressure unit conversions. I enjoy that it is mostly math, not conceptual, and look forward to furthering this unit.

Phase Changes Test

I feel very good about this test. I understood all the equations, and there were very few compound questions which made this test much easier. I look forward to seeing this unit again on the final.

Phase changes lecture

Today we had a lecture over phase changes and I feel very good with this topic. It all does make sense to me, but I could see the reverse of endothermic and exothermic being an issue when being looked at from inside the reaction.

Bonding Test

This test wasn't exceptionally hard, however I still found I struggled with electron geometry. I do feel that I did well but I will make that a point of emphasis for the final to study.

Biodiesel Quiz

Today we took the biodiesel quiz. I felt confident but I'm going to have to sharpen up on electron geometry for the test.

Bonding lecture

Today we learned about bonding and how electrons interact. This unit is definitely much easier to understand and I look forward to this class for the remainder of the year.

Testing day!

Today we ran our boats and biodiesel in the gutter and it worked wonderfully! Our boat took a whopping 2.5 minutes but others finished in as little as 11 seconds!

Biodiesel Beta Test

Today we ran our boats usig a mini putt-putt engine. The biodiesel burned very well, our only trouble was fixing our boats so that they would not sink. There are 24 hours before the real test, we're hoping for the best.
