Friday 9/20/13

1. Well this past week has been stressful to say the least. But I am happy to say I have completed the intimidating cation and anion lab along with the rest of the class. I have also completed a quiz, and yet another lab (surprise surprise). So total that makes 11 labs... yay us!
2. It's a proven fact that you learn something new every day. That means a lot of new facts have entered my brain, but the question is which ones stayed? I guess it could be the ways of determining molarity with the titration lab, how to determine net ionic equations, more particle diagrams, and most importantly: to start bringing lab clothes every day :)
3. I believe our class is planning on catching up to our set schedule (hopefully). And also the dreaded ending to Unit 2.. meaning another test... something all of us look forward to. And more than likely many more labs and particle diagrams. YAY science.

  1. Love the "Keep Calm" diagram. I'm curious about the intimidating cation and anion lab. What made it difficult?

    And I appreciate your reflection on what you learned and what you 'didn't' yet. As a learner, this is a critical tool throughout your educational career (and life, probably).

    1. What made this lab so intimidating was 1) it was our first guided inquiry lab, and the procedures were a bit lengthy, so it was tough to grasp in a short amount of time and 2) it was also a learning experience for our teacher as well!

      I always try to reflect on our classes progress and personal progress as well, just to keep myself in check! Thank you for your feedback!
