Airplane Lab
In this lab we tested how additional weight affected the distance traveled of an object moving in the air.
We gave roles to everyone in our group, then we created our paper airplane.
We measured the distance the airplane traveled without any additional weight. Then we added a paper clip, measured the new distance, and repeated.
At the end we came to the conclusion that more weight actually helped the airplane move farther.
This lab helped us understand how experiments work and how weight effects distance.
Bubbles Lab
In this lab my group and I made hypothesis about which brand of soap we thought would produce the biggest bubble.
Then we poured out small puddles of each soap on the table and used a straw to blow bubbles.
We did this 3 times per soap and we came to the conclusion that Palmolive produced the biggest bubble.

How might cultural and historical contexts have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table?
I think cultural and historical context shaped scientific discoveries because the only people who significantly impacted the periodic table were all similar in gender and kind of race. If someone of other race or gender had found these discoveries, they may not have been seen as true because of prejudice. Also the main people who found these discoveries were Russian, German, and French. There were translators that were able to spread the knowledge between the similar languages. I do not think there could've been another way things happened though.

Electron Configuration Patterns:
Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons, which explains why they have similar chemical properties. As you move down a group, the number of electron shells increases, causing the atoms to get larger. This makes it easier for the outer electrons to be lost (in metals like Group 1) or harder for electrons to be gained (in nonmetals like Group 17). Because of this, reactivity increases down groups for metals and decreases for nonmetals. Other trends, like lower ionization energy, less negative electron affinity, and decreasing electronegativity, all happen because the outer electrons are farther from the nucleus and experience less attraction. These patterns help explain why elements in the same group behave the way they do in reactions.
