3 Question Blog 12/8

What tasks have you completed recently?
- I completed a periodic table review, a coloring packet of  the periodic table, Chemical Bonding Lab, and a Unit 4 test.

What have you learned recently?
- I've learned about atomic radius, electronegativiy, ionization energy. Atomic Radius is the distance of an elements nucleus to their valence electron, ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an element, and electonnegativity is the tendency of element to attract a bonding pair of electrons. All these things are caused due to the force of attraction from the nucleus. They also all follow patterns within the Periodic Table.

What are you planning yo do to further your understanding?
- I plan on studying and reviewing these different terms to help remind myself of the patterns and definition of them.

3 Question Blog 4/20/18

What have I completed lately? -I have completed worksheets and notes on endothermic and exothermic reactions, as well as a test, and a POGIL about Mole Ratios. What have I learned recently? -I have learned extensively about endothermic and exothermic reactions. Exothermic reactions release energy to make bonds (temperature increases), and in endothermic reactions enegry is absorbed and gained to break bonds (temperature decrease). I have also learned about Mole Ratios and what their purpose is when it comes to chemical reactions. What will I do to further my learning? -I will continue to ask questions in class, and be attentive in class. I will also study if I am struggling to grasp any concepts covered in class.

3 Question Blog 2/2

1. Recently I have completed a POGILs on Polyatomic atoms, Ionic compounds, and also Molecular compounds. I have also completed a foldable and a lab about the VSEPR model. 2. I have learned about naming molecular, ionic, and polyatomic compounds. Also i have learned about VSEPR. VSEPR stands for V alence S hell E lectron P air R epulsion theory. It means that since electrons repel each other they will be repulsed to the furthest possible distance away from one another within the limits of their bond. Unbounded electrons take up more space than bonded electrons. 3. To improve my learning I will continue to ask questions if I am having trouble understanding the material.

Exploring Measurement in the Food Industry

Our task for this lab was to collect mass information about various bags of Cheetos and use our data to determine the accuracy and precision of the bags. The purpose of this lab was to answer the guiding question, "Do you get what you pay for?". In this lab we used accuracy and precision to determine whether or not you get your money's worth when buying a small bag of Cheetos. On the packaging the bag states it's net weight is 28.3 grams. We used four different Cheetos bags to gather information. The first step was to find accuracy. Accuracy is defined as the net weight of 28.3g +/- .10g. We weighed the full bags of Cheetos separately and recorded the results, this is the gross weight. We then emptied the contents of the bags and weighed the packaging and recorded those results, this is the tare weight. After finding the gross and tare weight we then subtracted the tare weight from the gross weight and found our difference. The results are below. (G= Gross, T=Tare, D=
