Flame Test Lab

This lab was pretty cool because we played with fire, and we saw different colors of fire, like green, blue, pink. etc. It was interesting to see the different reactions that fire had with different substances. I guess it was kinda like fireworks, but not exactly. Anyway, I had a long week, I had two tests which I thought were pretty hard, and my wrist is sprained now.. well I'm done for now and yeah

video

the title pretty much sums it all up, we watched more of the E=MC^2 video. School is going by pretty well, I can't wait for soccer to start. I wish we had less homework though, especially hw that takes forever like math.

This past week, we watched a movie about Einstein and other guys. One guy was named Faraday or something. He apparently helped discover the theory which led to the creation of the motor. We also did the lab where 100 pennies represented the number of radioactive atoms after a certain number of half-lives. I just finished graphing it on google docs like 5 minutes ago. Lately, i've had a lot of homework, and I still have a lot coming up, which is really stressing me out. Anyway, this week was pretty good because the movie was pretty good and the lab was okay, it helped me understand half-lives a little bitter.

IsaTest and da ice

Sooooo, today, we had another test, and I think it was okay. It's kind of odd because we have another test in like, two days. Oh well, this is a good chance to raise my grade. Also, today we did stuff with dry ice, which was insanely entertaining. It was really fun to experiment with dry ice, water, and other things. I learned that when you have a balloon full of CO2 and a balloon full or regular air the CO2 one falls faster. All in all it was a really fun experiment because we had a lot of time to observe the reactions and tried many new things. That's pretty much all I have for now, so byeeee.

So, we have a test next week, which I'll begin preparing for soon. Also, I have to finish my website, and it's getting late! AND, I have to finish my reading for English! Ah, that's a lot of work... and I'm tired. So we did this lab the other day, where we dropped markers on a piece of paper and the estimated amount of times it hit the paper was once or twice, but we ended up hitting the circles approximately 8 times. I recently saw our music video on YouTube, which was cool. Also, we watched two different versions of basically the same video, where we zoom out from the earth and back into someone. The Simpsons one was really cool, I haven't see that show in a long time. Anyway, I'm off to finish my website, bye!

Website

So, I still have to finish my website, after just finishing my definitions. I did all the definitions up to 3.5, and my friend told me we only needed to do up to chapter 2 or something. Oh well, at least now I have less work to do later on. I've been super tired lately, lots of homework, for all classes. The last two weeks have been pretty long, I honestly cannot wait for the weekend. Luckily, after tomorrow, it is! I hope that the amount of homework I have lightens up, even though it probably isn't that much, compared to junior year. Alright, that's pretty much all I have for now, so bye!

Even though this week is short (because of Labor Day and minimum day tomorrow), it feels longer than a regular week. I have homework for literally EVERY class today, not fun. I'm ready for this week to be over, to get some rest. For our first quiz, I did okay, but I made some careless mistakes and definitely could do better next time. I've learned to be more careful and to double and/or triple check my answers. In class, we made the Conversion Factor video yesterday, which is good application in our studying. We really got to work in an interesting way. Also, in recent labs, we have been working on the periodic table and how to sort out the elements. Personally, I'd like to do more labs with fire and such, but this is pretty interesting too. Another reason I've been stressed out, is that progress reports are coming soon, and I need to get good grades for myself and to be able to continue playing soccer. Well, that's it for now, gotta do other homework and eat, sooooo bye
