What does a water molecule look like?



Reflect: "Kites rise highest against the wind- not with it." -Winston Churchill

Kites don't let the wind push them around, instead it goes against it.

Today we used the molecular model kits to build various molecules. Did you find this useful, interesting, fun etc?

It was interesting because i learned that some molecules have more than one bond, which i didn't know before.

How do you know when you should do a double bond or a triple bond on a molecular model?

When we used the molecular model kits, some balls had more than one hole in it which allowed us to create more bonds.

Reflect: "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." -Aristotle Onassis

When you feel like you're lost it doesn't help to go deeper into darkness, instead you need to focus on helping yourself and going into light.

What is the relationship between number of holes in the colored ball and the valence electrons for the molecular model? In other words, why do hydrogen balls have only one hole while oxygen has 2?

The number of holes corresponds to the number of valence electrons.

How did working with the molecular models help you understand things better? Be specific! What did it help you understand?

I understood the meaning of multiple bonds and why some molecules have more than one bond.

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">How is it that we are able to walk, breathe, eat, sleep, etc? What makes all of these things possible?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">We can do all of this because of energy, without energy our cells cannot function and do what they need to do.

What 3 resources did you choose to write about and why did you choose those 3?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Petroleum- it's not a renewable resource, we are running out and it take millions of years to form. Trees - as our world is getting more technological we are starting to use electronics more and more than paper

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why is it important to think of ways to conserve and find alternatives for natural resources?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's important to conserve natural resources because you never know when we will run out or if another variable causes that resource to run out.

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">How was the test? What questions did you find difficult? What questions did you find easy?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was easy but there were a few questions that i found a bit difficult such as the word bank. I also got confused on the chemical equation and matching the vocabulary to each question. I found the questions about finding elements on the periodic table really easy.

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #000000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What was happening with the Van Der Graaf generator? What do you think the blue line is made of?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">The generator was transferring static electricity from person to person. The blue line is made of bouncing particles, electrons, that were traveling really fast and trying to create a full circuit.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">5-11

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is electricity? Why do electric shocks and lightning bolt happens?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Electricity is an electric current that comes from electrons. Electric shocks and lightning bolts occur because of the electrons being attracted to a conductor

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sometimes when I go grocery shopping the shopping cart shocks me. I think it happened because the metal on the shopping cart handle is a good conductor.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Make sure it's recording! You don't want to find out that the camera wasn't even recording when you did a good take. Make sure the video camera is in good condition, it would also be mindful if you wouldn't drop it because they can be expensive to replace.
