3 Question Blog 11/10

What tasks have you completed recently?
- We completed an electron configuration envelope activity, we had a test over unit 3, and did a periodic table review.

What have you learned?
- We learned about Periodicity and what makes something periodic and the difference of something that is quasi-periodic. I learned why the periodic table is set up and organized the way it is.

What are you planning on doing next to improve my understanding?
- I plan on focusing more on the periodic table and try to further understand the periodic table and the patterns within it, so I can have a clearer idea of what elements' characteristics are and how they are similar to other elements around them.

Exploring Reactivity and Periodicity

Image
The guiding question for this lab is Is reactivity a periodic property? We were trying to answer this to gain a better understanding on how the elements are arranged in the periodic table and find if reactivity was a periodic or quasi-periodic property. During our experiment we carried out reactions between various elements and water, we then recorded all of our results in a table. Our claim was Yes, Reactivity is a periodic property.  Our evidence is below. Metals                    Reactions                     -Potassium(1c4r)    Sparked, smoke was released, sizzling sound, dissolved -Sodium(1c3r)         Moved around water sporadically, smoke was released, sizzling sound, dissolved -Calcium(2c4r)        Bubbling, gas is produced, heat was produced -Magnesium(2c4r)   Strip of metal turned pink, bubb...

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=...

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.
