Skittles LaB

The objective of the skittle lab was to find the ratio of what colors you would get out of 20 skittles. To complete this lab we had to organize the different colors that we got. After that we counted the skittles, and made a graph on them.

Bubble lab

This Lab was about using different brands of soap and seeing which brand of soap would create the biggest bubble, and we had to write down our information. We also had to write a description of what was happening and on what the bubbles looked like.

History of periodic table

For this project you were supposed to make a diary entry on a recent element, and write a description on the characteristics of it and where it came from. The element that I decided to do was Moscovium.

element Art

To create this project we had to chose an element off of the periodic table, and I chose Oganesson. We had to create a creative element picture for the periodic table, so we were basically making our own periodic table but it had to be creative. We still had to include their atomic mass, and their atomic number, so that it would be like the periodic table.

Bohr Model

To complete this project we had to use the same element that we used for the element art, but this time we were creating our own electron configuration model of that element. We were required to make the model out of straws, and yarn, and the green straw pieces represent the electrons in that element.

How might cultural and historical contexts have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table?

I think that cultural and historical context have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table by people like Dimitri Mendeleev, Antoine Lavoisier, and john Dalton all being white Europeans. I think that if African Americans were the ones to discover the periodic table, I think that most people wouldn't believe them. I also believe that even if they did discover the periodic table then some other people would've taken the credit for what they discovered. Their were many more different chemist that were part of the discovery too like Johann Dobereiner, and he was a German chemist that attempted to sort the elements into groups of three. Another chemist that I didn't explain was John Newlands, and he was also white and European, but he introduced his law of octaves.
