Elements and the Periodic Table

This week we have done much with the elements and the periodic table. We are learning about the elements atomic mass, isotopes, protons, nuetrons, electrons and even thier symbols. We have learned about families and groups of elements. How their characteristics differ from different parts of the period table. We also practiced reading the number of protons and electrons and finding the neutrons from that.

Elements and atoms

This week in chemistry class we have learned much about Elements and atoms. Today we answered questions about elements and their information on the periodic table. Also we found out about thier characteristics and reactivity they give. These elements seem very interesting and I cant wait to learn more about them.

Chemistry week 1-2

My first two weeks of chemistry class has been amazing. I have learned very much from the vernier scale to the lab work. I most of all probably enjoyed the weighing of the objects on the scale. It was so interesting actually seeing how much an object weighed. I also enjoyed drawing the Class Safety Map on the graph paper. I enjoyed that very much. I also liked learning about mass and the scientific method.

Penny Lab

In chemistry we did a penny lab. The penny lab we did was very fun we tried to make the copper penny into gold. First of all we placed the penny in a cup full of Zn+NaOH. Which when we took it out the penny was gray. Then we heated the penny with the fire where it then turned to a shiny gold color.It was the goldest penny I have ever seen. Call me the alchemist but im just in chemistry class.
