Week 3: Day 2

Today I did the intermolecular forces lab. It reinforced what I already knew and gave me some information I missed. The lab today was especially useful in letting me visualize the science behind polar and non-polar bond and how to find out the strength of electronegativity.

At home I went over the things I learnt in class today and organized it for future reference. I also completed questions that I did not finish in class regarding the sheet.

Week 3: Day 1

Today I did the 3D modeling lab; I got everything pretty fine. I just needed clarification with the shapes of the molecules i.e. pyramidal.

At home I finished the modeling lab parts that did not require the actual ball and reflected over what I learnt.

Plan For Week 3

Day 1

In Class: Modeling Lab: Drawing Lewis diagrams and predicting polarity using 3D molecular models.

At Home: Check over work. 

Day 2

In Class: Investigating Intermolecular Forces

At Home:  Finish Investigating Intermolecular Forces.

Day 3

In Class: Lab: Properties of ionic and covalent molecules to compare the strength of bonds.

At Home: Check over work.

Week 2: Day 3

Today I planned to do another lab, but the equipment wasn't ready. That was fine; I needed to work a bit more on editing my lab report and discussing it with my lab partners. In addition, I also discussed the worksheets, but didn't start to seriously do any except for the lewis dot diagram worksheet.

At home I finished the lewis dot diagram worksheet and tried to complete the lab report, but my internet was having problems. I won't spend more class time on it, though.

Week 2: Day 2

Today I did the frizzy drink lab that I originally planned to do last class. At our first attempt we messed it up because we did too many things at once. However, once I got extra helpers in it was successful in our second attempt. I spent the rest of the class organizing data and interpreting it.

At home I wrote up the data part of the lab report, complete with uncertainties. I couldn't do the analysis part due to the fact that my internet was down afterwards and stayed down until a few days later.

Week 2: Day 1

Today I spent the duration of science class sitting in a hospital and was not able to do any work. However, when I went home at night I was able to review my stuff and take a look at the worksheets. I originally planned to do the frizzy drink lab today, but obviously I was unable to.

Plan for Week 2

Day 1

In Class: Do the Fizzy Drink Lab.

At Home: Finish writing the lab report. 

Day 2

In Class: Lab: Properties of ionic and covalent molecules to compare the strength of bonds.

At Home: Finish writing the lab report.

Day 3

In Class: Modeling Lab: Drawing Lewis diagrams and predicting polarity using 3D molecular models.

At Home:  Finish writing the lab report.
