these past weeks..

We took a quiz called "Isa Quiz" and i must admit that i was pretty surprised. I knew some of the questions, but overall, it was harder than I thought it was going to be. Maybe I wasn't very prepared, but I'm anxious on how I did.

We also learned how to measure the volume of a liquid. It was kind of confusing at first because you have to look at the meniscus and see where it lands on the measure. Your first instinct is to look at the top of the water and measure it from there, but you have to remember to look at the lower point of the water. That part, the remembering, was probably the trickiest.

Learning how to weigh an object in grams was another thing that we learned in chemistry. That was tough too because you had to be really exact with the weight. If the weight of something wasn't exact, you had to turn the dial and then look at where it lines up to find your weight. I though that I was never going to get it, but I'm starting to understand it now.

These lessons were just the beginning of what I'm going to learn in chemistry. At this point, chemistry is going to be an experience!
