This test was a recent test based on the Bohr model which we had just learned about and a couple of other concepts. We were instructed to make a study guide and answer a series of questions in relation to the upcoming quiz to better help us understand. I answered the worksheet part of the preparation and I made a lengthy study sheet but that seemingly was not enough as I did not complete the series of questions associated with the assignment. Although this grade does show an increase in my understanding for the class it does not show where I would like to be in the class and where I know I can be. I know that if I were to complete everything to the full extent and if I was to answer a plethora of questions then I was more likely to succeed. If I put myself in the right path I will be able to achieve a higher grade than what I did.

The objective of this assignment was to find out what the definition of a spectrometer was and for us to eventually build our own spectrometer/ spectroscope using products that were given to us in class to take home. After much research the definition and the use of the spectrometer was understood, I then cut out the printout given to us in class and I pieced together the cut-out paper. I then used my diffracting gradient and incorporated it into my project, by the end I was able to guide my spectroscope  at a light and was able to see the colors it gave off. I love this assignment because it allowed me to use my creative juices to explain and show how I understood the material.

The objective of this assignment was to figure out periodic trends in the periodic table and how metals react with each other. and this assignment I was tasked to watch videos in regards to those things, make a research argument, make a model of the things I observed through my research and studying, learn more about elements and how they're reactivity can be predicted through a periodic table as well as ionization energy. This was a four-page worksheet packet that was done over the course of 3 days on which I got a 90 on. Through my research I was able to discover what electronegativity was and how its bond is used on other atoms. To continue getting grades like this on major assignments I will turn assignments in on time and write in full sentences to help me fully comprehend and understand what I'm reading and writing about .

This assignment I didn't do too well on because I didn't take my time and I procrastinated with the assignment. The objective was to figure out size trends in certain elements and the amount of shielding that they have. I worked with atomic radius of certain elements like hydrogen and carbon and then had to graph around 20 elements with their atomic radius size and atomic number. I focused on ionization energy and atomic numbers to answer questions 6 through 14 on the back of the packet. I feel as though if I was to commit more time to this assignment that I would have been able to get a better grade hair later but unfortunately that wasn't the case. In the future I will pay more attention in class and study up on things that are currently being reviewed in hopes that my grade for further assignments will be better.
