Fire! fire! fire!

This week in Chemistry, we had a test on nuclear chemistry...I did alrigjht. We also finished Einsteins Big Idea. And lastly we did a fire lab where we placed different chemicals over a bunson burner, the color of the flame would be different for each chemical and so we had to identify which was which.

Einsteins Big Idea....

...is pretty well made for an educational video, the acting is decent ( pretty convincing). The segment on Emilie Du Chatelet and her contributions to E=MC2 was my favorite- she seemed like such an interesting character ( Such shame the way she died). All we really did was watch the movie this week, and did some review for nuclear chemistry ( TEST NEXT WEEK)! I've been really tired lately...need more sleep.

On reaching critical mass

I just BOMBED my test last period and right now I'm feeling very VERY frustrated. Thinking of taking up kick boxing- might be good to vent.This week in chemistry we watched a surprisingly well done movie about Einstein and E=MC2. We did a lab that simulated the half lives of of decaying radioactive material- which we also graphed on google documents. Okay that's all I got right now.

What happened this week?

This week felt oddly short for some, feel's like I didn't do much. Hmm, I don't seem to remember doing much at all for chem this week. Mostly review for the upcoming test. It is the end of the grading period though! We just did our retakes for the quiz I did horrible on...I'm sure I did much better this time. We also got to play with dry ice, which was pretty cool ( I got to take a piece with me and it took about two hours to completely disolve). Other than that though there's not much else that went on.

Busy week...

Ugh, I'm going to have a TON of homework this weekend. Speaking of homework, we were given an element ( I got Selenium) and had to make a webpage with information on it. We also did some lab worksheets concerning elements.

Uh...uh oh.

I forgot to do my blog for last week so let me try to remember what we did...I'm a bit tired right now so I'm having trouble remember. I found out that I can raise my grade (after getting an F on that last test) so I was (and still am) studying for the retake.

F is for...Failure!

So...I have an F in chemistry... on the third ( is it third?) week, my very first F ever. It's such a horrible little letter. At least I can retake the test that gave me that grade...Anyways, what did we do this week? We did a few labs concerning the periodic table of elements and sang a song about how to write down units when doing scientific equations...it was a short week so that's pretty much it.
