dry ice

on tuesday, we played with dry ice. it was beautiful!
the foggish stuff and the bubble was very pretty!
it was really cold though.
i touched it for 1 second.
there was a lot of stem-ish stuff everywhere!!
it was fun compared to the isatest!!!!!...that was HARD!!!!
dry ice was the highlight of my week in chem

element web page

this week, we did a lot of things with the periodic table. we looked at certain elements and did labs on it. there were a lot of questions that we had to answer. that was not fun at all. we even had to do an element web page, where we choose an element and make a web page for it containing their properties and other stuff. i thought the web page was super hard because there was a lot to do and it was hard working on the computer. i don't like working with computers. we took notes for hw also about elements and the periodic table and had to do review questions. that wasn't fun either.
this week was pretty boring.

periodic table lab

in this lab, we got a stack of elements as cards. we then had to sort them out and put them in the correct order by patterns that we saw. the atomic mass increases left to right and top to bottom.
the atomic sizes increased from top to bottom. hydrogen and helium did not really fit right. after, we answered a few questions and were done!

burning wool

during this week, we did a lab with burning wool.
the wool turned bluish and greyish after it was set on fire and sparked.
we also did a density lab.
we had to find the mass or density of somethings like a rock water and foil.
then the last thing we did this week was take the test or quiz.
it was very hard and confusing. i did not like it.
