Week 28 Blog Reflection

This weeks main focus was learning to further name and balance equations. We used worksheets and skill practices to help us learn and I liked that we did a ton of examples with different representations and even a lab to help us learn how to do it. I really struggled with it at first but with the help of magnets, mr. Abud and my lab table I think I've got it now.
On the group assessment Friday I was understanding at the level I wanted to and was able to get the problems with ease. Below Are links to Evernote notes I've taken this week and

Week 27 Blog Reflection

This week we were introduced to "infographics."  This is a new tool that I think will greatly benifit us in our future learining in Chemisty and even other classes.  An infographic is a visual way to orgainize information.  We were given a myriad of sites to explore and choose one to use for our infographic and I, like many other students, used the easy to use and understand site called Popplet.  On Popplet, you create a visual chart of sorts, were you can easily organize ideas that branch off of each other, perfect for the topic nomenclature. (Link to my infographic below).  I used branches off of nomenclature to connected topics of nomenclature, like how to write formulas for different compounds, branching off of that was what the compound was, off of that how to write the formula, and off of that was an example problem. This seems confusing but flows easily in this infographic.   This greatly benifited my learining of these topics and I really look forward to making more of these for chemisty and projects in other classes!

Week 26 Blog Reflection

Worksheets. Formerly a foreign word to chemt3am, but not this week. This week we worked on 3 worksheets. Some were opposed, but I think we really needed these sheets to develop understanding of these new more complicated and mathematical ideas. These sheets were on naming and making formulas and after completing these sheets I think I really have a good grasp on these concepts!
