Chemistry Unit Test 1 Re-Grade 11/8/17


     The First Question I Got Wrong Was:

Copper (Cu) reacts with oxygen (O) to form copper oxide (CuO). The properties of CuO are 
most likely

 I originally answered similar to both copper and oxygen. The correct answer was actually different from copper or oxygen. This is a better answer because of the fact that copper oxide is a totally different type of substance from copper and oxygen. So it makes sense how it wouldn't have similar properties to both copper and oxygen. This is why the correct answer is the better answer.

       The Second Question I Got Wrong Was:

 Which of the following is the best evidence for a chemical reaction?

 I originally answered gas bubbles. The correct answer was actually formation of a new substance. This is a better answer because of the fact that the question asked which was the best. Technically all can signify a chemical reaction, but formation of a new substance truly shows and is the best way to know and signify if a chemical reaction has occurred. This is why the correct answer was better than my answer.

       The Third Question I Got Wrong Was:

 The reactants of a chemical reaction have

 I originally answered the same chemical make up as the products. The correct answer was actually chemical properties different from the products. Just as before in the first question I got wrong, products are a totally different substance from the reactants. So it makes sense just as before how the  reactants would have a different chemical properties than the products. This is why the correct answer is better than my answer.

Systems In a Human Body Info Paper 10/15/15

Friday and Monday we were writing down the definitions of (I believe) organelles that are part of the urinary and digestive system. Here are some examples of some of the organs my class had to write down the definitions for, the esophagus, the pancreas, the liver, the small intestine, and the large intestine. One thing that I forgot to add is that there was one other paper that had the definitions down for my class because I did not want anybody thinking that my teacher would make us write the definitions on our own out of the blue. The way we knew the definitions was because on Thursday or Friday I forgot which day any ways my teacher showed what every organ that we had to write the definition for what each organ did in order. But the fun part was she assigned every single person in my science class an organ to make it fun. What also helped was that Ms. J went over the answers with my science class also she allowed us to switch our answers if we got them wrong that especially helped

Chemistry Mastery Quest 2 Regrade

The Question I got Wrong Was: Reactions that involve burning are classified as I originally answered decomposition, the correct answer was actually exothermic. I realize now that exothermic is the better answer and was the correct answer. This is because exothermic reactions release heat causing its environment to get warmer. This creates a rise in the temperature which creates the burn. This means that exothermic reactions involve burning. This is why the correct answer was better than my original answer and is the best answer.

Plate Tectonics 3/10/18

Image
Summary:        This week in science we learned about Plate Tectonics. Plates have been on Earth for thousands of years and are consistently moving (very slowly). Through this the Earth can recycle our land, by destroying the old land, and creating new land. These plates are made of rock and are in the lithosphere layer of the Earth. Another thing I know is that there are 3 different type of plate boundaries. Those three types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. Convergent boundaries are when two plates collide and their are two different types of convergent boundaries. The two types of convergent boundaries are collisional boundaries and subduction zones. A collisional boundary is when two plates with the same density collide. Because they are the same density the plates buckle and warp. The land then pushes up into jagged peaks forming a mountain. Subduction zones are when one dense ocean plate converges with a lighter con
