Whatsa Matter?

This week in chemistry we learned about matter. Matter is something that takes up space and has volume. We got in groups at the lab tables, I was with Jessica, Alia, and Catherine for the guessing game. A couple of my guesses were really off; most were pretty close, but I liked learning how to use the scale. Learning about the vernacular scale was interesting, but the next day I forgot how to use it. Guesstimating the volume was harder than the mass, I was reallyreally off for pretty much all my guesses on the volume. I like the word MENISCUS, it's a funky word =) I was very proud of myself because I didn't break any test tubes!! Usually I'm really clumsy, so it was nice that I didn't break anything =) For the past few days, our homework was to take notes from the textbook and I learned about general chemistry and changes of state. BLogposting is realllllllllllly fun I'm glad I get to do this once a week =D

Penny Lab

My group had 5 people. We all put our pennies in the zinc, turning the pennies silver. After we rinsed them they were put in the flame and turned gold. Mine was only partly gold and had a bubble, so I named my penny Bubbles!
