Honors Chemistry Midterm Reflection

What I did in Honors Chemistry is bonds, atomics, and now molecules. From bonds we did the different covalent bonds versus the ionic bond and how they are different. This is important as it has to do with how materials react with one another and form bigger molecules. Through atomics I did labs with mols with helps scientist learn how bigger each atom is. Molecules are now taking bonds and actually learning what goes into them like how Sodium Chloride is different from Diphosphorous trioxide, the importance goes back to knowing how different materials behave in different ways.

This knowledge can be applied to the dwindling ozone layer, or water recycling, and car emissions. Renewable energy could start to use different bonds and atoms for new power sources. One pattern is that we read through the book and then would do in class activities to strength our grasp on the new knowledge.

Chemistry is ranked near the top of my best classes, partially because of my love for science. The labs can be difficult but I do well enough on them. A thing that I could improve is on the test, being that I seem to fail at the vocabulary. I plan on physics being next as elements make up the physical world and from there physics can use such knowledge and use it.

The reason we do everything else outside of the book is to strengthen and reinforce the knowledge given to us. Just getting information dumped on us does nothing but applying the knowledge builds it up and shows its relevance to everything else.
