Partner Quiz and Applying Formulas

Partner Quiz and Applying Formulas


Colin S.
October 1st

Congratulations period 5, you failed!



     Mrs. Friedman gave back the partner quizzes we took yesterday to start the class. Everyone failed (no, this won't count toward your grade), but Mrs. Friedman explained to us the importance of failing. She talked to us about how important it was to fail, as we could learn from these experiences. This might be new to us because as Mrs. Friedman said up to this point we're all bad at failing. In order to be a scientist, failing is necessary.

    Mrs. Friedman also talked about how it is important to apply formulas, rather than just input numbers into them. The questions on the quiz were evidence of that. What you are given may not always be what you use to solve the problem.

   An important thing to note on the quiz is that when finding the number of H+ ions, for example, in H_2O, the ratio is 2 H+ ions: 1 molecule of H_2O.

    Also, there were some technical difficulties with video, but it is expected to be up by around 7.
