No I don't have to rely on others to print out my comments. Shutout to Eric for giving me the idea. Thanks buddy!

Chemical Reactions Unit test

Today we took the unit test over Chemical Reactions. It wasn't extremely difficult, but there were questions that were fairly difficult. I really can't tell how I did. It can either be really good or really bad. I hope it is really good since my grade is at a good place right now. Hopefully for the next unit  I can build on the topics I learn and study to get a higher grade.

Chemical Reactions Lab

Last week we did a lab where we performed a number of different chemical reactions. We did it to determine if precipitates would form. It was practice for the double replacement reaction. We visually got to see the chemical changes that were going off and the change of the solutions to produce the new product was the proof that the reaction occurred. This lab was really cool and fun. I enjoyed doing it and it really helped me understand double replacement reactions.

Metals Lab

This week we did a lab in which we were reacting a metal with some other substance. This lab was used to help us understand single replacement reactions. It helped me understand it since it was many problems that seemed like they would be a topic on the test. This was a very interesting and fun lab to do. I hope we have more like this. We now have to prepare for the test on Thursday. Hopefully it isn't too hard.

Chemical Reactions quiz

Today we had a chemical reactions quiz. It was over double replacement reactions. It wasn't too difficult, but there was one question in particular which I had trouble with. I knew how to do it, but the problem was that It took so long to do. Most of the quiz was easy it was just that one question that I thought was hard. Hopefully for the unit test I can prepare for questions like that and get them right.

Double replacement

Today was day 2 of the new lesson in chemistry. It is safe to say that I don't understand it that much. We have to memorize 11 solubility rules by Friday to do the lab and memorizing doesn't seem that fun. I understood part of the lesson but it sort of overwhelmed me at times. I hope that within the next couple of days I can comprehend the chapter.
