Unit Test Reflection

We took the unit test yesterday, and I thought it went pretty well! Much of the test came from the practice quizzes on Schoology which I used to review. I used some of those resources on Schoology. At first, I was a bit apprehensive about this unit as there were so many things to remember. and I felt really nervous about this test. However, with lots of practice, I felt really comfortable with the concepts.

Modeling Activity

Last week, we went to the library for a lab. It was interesting as it was in the library where we drew on the tables and played around with building pieces to create Lewis structures. I enjoyed this lab as it allowed me to practice Lewis strucutres, something I am still quite uneasy about. It was also great to have Mrs. Frankenberg hovering around, available to answer any questions.

Lecture

We've started the chemical bonding unit, and it's been crazy. At first, the concepts were fairly easy to understand, but as the lectures progress, the confusion keeps piling on. I do not believe this unit will be too difficult; it's just the fact that there are SO many things to remember to do problems correctly. I think with a lot of practice and reviewing this unit will not be too bad.
