Measurement Unit Test Post-Report.

Measurement Unit Test Post-Report

I tried my best on the test, but ultimately I ran out of time and I'm quite certain that it killed my grade. I don't have the test back yet, but I don't know if I want to see it :(. The grade is far from horrible, but I have higher standards for my grades in this class. Hopefully it can be like the nomenclature unit from last quarter and just be a bad start to an otherwise good quarter. Not to mention that we also have finals coming up X_X. 

Measurement Unit Quiz

I did okay on the measurement quiz, but I know that I need to improve if I have any chance of an A on the test. I probably will have the most problems with the math portions, but I think things will go well. I studied a lot, but I always have trouble doing math equations in a timely manner, I guess it's just something I'll have to deal with on test day.

Make a Mole Project!

Make-a-Mole Project

The Make-a-Mole project is a project in which we create a stuffed mole suited to the person's liking. We do this project to help celebrate Mole Day. We also celebrated mole day with a super fun Mole Day party! This project took a somewhat long time, mainly because the sewing was difficult and attaching the belly of the mole to the sides of the mole took some time.

Measurement pre-test Post-Report

Measurement Unit Pre-Test

The measurement pre-test was quite stressful, as I definitely don't know most of what is on the test. From what I can gather from the test, the only thing lacking was the unusual units of measurement used, what a significant zero is, and some formulas (+ brushing up on nomenclature and poly-atomic ions). This unit will have a ton of math, something I am no quite too excited about, but I think it'll get better once I can obtain a firm grasp of the formulas. All and all, I think that this will be an excellent unit to kick off the quarter with.

NEW UNIT! - Measurements

`

 New Unit: Measurements

Today we officially start the new Measurements unit in chem! I am excited to see what this new unit has in store for everyone and what exactly we will be learning! Also, as with every new unit, we will take the pre-unit test. This test serves as a bench mark for the individual taking said test, giving the teacher and the student a starting point.
