Weekly blog(10/29/17) Different types of chemical reactions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

          There are four different types of chemical reactions. These types of reactions are called 1. Synthesis, when two or more thing come together to create something bigger. 2, Diffusion, when a molecule splits into smaller pieces or individual atoms. 3, Single displacement, When there is a small molecule/atom and a molecule of 2 or more and one atom or piece of big molecule breaks out and switches places with the small piece. 4, Double displacement, When there are two "big" molecules and a piece of atom of each of them come of and join the other molecule like square dancing.

          For S&EP we used models because we made chemical reactions, then got a worksheet that showed us the formula and had us chose which type of reaction it was. This brought me closer to mastery because now I understand how chemical reactions work. I think that now I would be able explain it to someone else who does not understand.

          This week's XCC is Cause and Effect because we did chemical reactions, and that is when you mix these things together, something else happens.

weekly blog(10/20/17)Conservation of Matter

http://www.iun.edu/~cpanhd/C101webnotes/matter-and-energy/images/h2o2.jpg

          This week in class we learned about the law of conservation of matter. The law of Conservation of matter is the theory that during a chemical reaction, matter cannot be created or destroyed. This means that if you weigh a chemical reaction before and after, it will stay the same.

          This week for S&EP we conducted experiment by making a chemical reaction. This brought me closer to mastery because now I understand that it doesn't change weight.

          This week's XCC is cause and effect because we did chemical reactions and we saw that putting two chemicals together can create a chemical reaction.

Weekly Blog (10/15/17) Formulas

http://keydifferences.com/difference-between-atom-and-molecule.html

     This week in class we learned about Molecules and Formulas that represent them. We learned how atoms bond together, we learned how they act together.

     This week for S&EP we used mathematics to count atoms by multiplying and subtracting numbers and using Subscripts, Coefficients, and Parenthesis. This brought me closer to mastery because now I understand how to count atoms in a formula.
     This week XCC is patterns because there are a lot of patterns in formulas that make it a lot easier once you find them.
     This week I was a learner because I did my work and tried to learn, so I did learn.

Project blog (19/6/17) Periodic table of Video Games

     In this project we learned in depth about the periodic table and how to create one out of anything.
     Before this project, I knew how the periodic table was basically arranged.
     I feel pretty good about this piece of work. I like how the grid is perfectly spaced and there are no messed up spots. I do not like that we could not print out the key.
     I think we worked pretty similar to other people. One thing we did differently was use a black board. We mainly did the same thing by having the same components.
     One thing I would improve upon would be making the printed title straight because it is crooked and annoying.

Weekly Blog (10/1/17)

https://sciencenotes.org/printable-periodic-table/

     This week in class I learned and got more practice about how the periodic table works. We have have been working with the fact that the families are more alike than the rows.

     For the S&EP, we constructed models by making our own periodic table of something we like, my group made a periodic table of video games and we put genres as families and companies as rows because genre defines games more than company.

     For XCC we discovered that periodic tables can arrange more than elements.

     This week I was a learner because I did a lot of research and tried to learn as much as possible.
