Awesome video^o^

Mr. Olson and this guy named Curtis that use to be a Mills teacher made a video about mole and it was hella funny. They made themselves different colors and it was funny. Its all on the video. It's called Molesong with Curtis. I showed the video to most of my friends and they all love Mr. Olson now which I don't blame them for.

Contest

We did this contest thing where we had to find the right weight and fill up a bin of confetti until it got to a specific weight. We were at a time limit and I was rushing so much and my group was pushing too. We were running everywhere and trying to get the right weight before time ran out because we had to get as close as the weight as possible and the group with the closest weight won 1 extra credit point per person in a group. We were rushing and my group was rushing and I think that we dropped some on the floor and dropped some. We lost though because we were off by a little. We were about like .20 off. We were close but group 1 had only 2 points off. So they won. =(

What to do!!!!!

We have a test coming up and I've been studying really hard. If I wasn't doing homework or doing a project I'm on the games that Mr. Olson posted up on Schoolloop. I've been struggling with structures and how to draw them out from the formulas. I'm still practicing and getting the hang of it. I just hope that I can study enough to get a good grade on the test. I'm nervous for Friday but I will be ready!

H20

We did a lab today and it was about the charges in water and how it attracts electrons from a charged wand. It was really cool because the water moved and swayed toward the wand. It was cool cause we got to play around with it and made it sway around. The other part of the lab was that, we were suppose to drop, water droplets onto a plastic sheet. So when we did we ended up having water drops that kept their form and were like bubbles that wouldn't pop. It was really cool because my group got to arrange them into a smiley face = )

So Fast!!!!!!!!!!!

The webpage project that Mr. Olson just assigned us was really overwhelming for me because. It seems to me like he just pushed it on us without any real preparation to it. I felt unprepared and unready. Sure we should be moving forward but it was kinda of fast for me. We seem to be moving from one thing to the next without any transitions. If we could do transitions from one lesson to the next then I would be able to understand and get everything better instead of being shocked and overwhelmed by the next thing that we have to do.

The Onion^o^

We just did a lab with an alloy called the Onion Alloy and it was really fun. We got to heat up water in a beaker and the alloy was in it. It melted and it looked really cool. The peices separated and turned into little circles of it. It looked like mercury when it melted and we got to play with it. When we took it off the hot plate then it became somewhat solidified and became fragile. But as it became cooler then the alloy became so hard that poking it wouldn't do anything to it. We ended up seperating the pieces and we were worried and wondered if we broke it. But Mr. Olson sayed to put it back on the hot plate and it started to boil and became a liquid again. As it was boiling the liquid messed together and became one again. It was really fun and we were playing with it the whole time we got it.

The different colors of flames.

This lab was really cool. I loved it when we made the flames change color. My favorite one was the one that turned into a sickly green because it reminded me of Maleficent from sleeping beauty. My mind was just thinking about movies that might relate to the same color too. We also made flames pink, orange, blue, and purple. One was a really pretty lavender one but there were actually two that looked really close to each other. That confused me and my group when we were trying to figure out what solution was which.
