Biodiesel

So we just started our video project to enter in the ALA Biodiesel Project. I'm really excited to see what will come out, we've got some really exciting ideas that we can't wait to share. Go Biodiesel!!

When she said we were on the down hill now, she was right

I'm going to be honest, I have a good feeling about the chapter. All of the things she has taught us all seem to be reminiscent of physical science. The PutPut boat should be really fun, I'm excited to do some engineering for a science class.

Up Late Studying, Might as well make a post

Tonight's the night before the test and though I usually try to get a good night's sleep and try not to stress about the test,  I did some heavy review/crash course on molecular bonding.  I have found that because I wasn't in class for the lesson I have develop an alternate way of thinking. This was brought to my attention after her I was not able to explain certain molecular structure problems to other students. I guess we'll see how it works out tomorrow. Below are a few tables and graphs that have helped me through this unit both for educational and moral support.

Molecular Shape

Today the class went over molecular shape or at least that is what I've heard after asking around. Since I'll be at a Robotics competition for the next few days, I'm worried about being able to learn the material in time for the test. However, I have found a few links that should help out with learning the material.

Guess we're back at it!

Unit started a few days ago and something tells me this unit will be very conceptual. Math has always been more my strong suit in chem. I guess we'll just see how this unit goes. :-/

Helpful Links

In this unit, I didn't really need too many external resources but here were a few links that helped me study for this unit.

Happy Birthday

I don't know how many people are posting about this, but since today is Mrs. Frankenberg, I figured I'd post about it as well as write a quick summary of the last unit. I found this unit to be one of the more interesting. Maybe it was the fact that was easier or the fact that we got the burn different chemicals, this unit was a welcomed change from the previous ones. Probably, the only "boring" activity we did was the spectrometer lab: though I realize its importance. What can I say, this unit was pretty fun!

Long Test

We just took the Unit 9 test for electronic structure and periodic trends which turned out to be a pretty long test of 50 questions. Luckily, the questions were pretty straight forward and short. Even with it being 50 questions, I got done with a bit of time to spare which is always rather calming to the nerves. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
