Summer Assignment
Glow - Activity 11
This activity required us to do research on minerals, crystals, and gemstones to create a research poster. We were also given a template of a research poster to make it easier, while also it being because we were required to use it. That being about all the background information, this assignment was not that hard or challenging to do. Of course, there was an abundance of things to write which was mildly irritating, but other than that it was mostly a breeze to get through. I had a bit of fun designing and placing.. one thing I feel I could do better next time however is making the whole thing a bit more coherent, since sometimes its hard to find what your supposed to look at next. Other than those minor hiccups however, this assignment was fairly simple and easy.
Grow - Activity 3
This assignment revolved around the toxicity of certain chemicals, and how some could harm us. After doing a reading and a work sheet, the majority of this assignment comes down to an essay that we had to write. The main question of the essay was if there should be new classification on chemicals based, and how certain chemicals are classified as safe or not. Although the worksheet portion of this assignment wasnt hard to do, the essay was a much harder challenge. This is mostly because of my horrible time management skills, causing me to do this assignment on the last day it was due. Although i still pulled through and completed it during the due date, it was still sloppily put together ended up not being my best work. Something that I could've done better to remedy this was to manage my time better, and to give myself more time to write it.

Glow - Anchor Chart
The goal of this assignment was to create a model that related to nuclear energy in some way, to which we would then select a question based off of nuclear energy. Me and my partner chose the question "When analyzing data on different types of nuclear radiation, what patterns emerge that help us classify radiation as matter, energy, or both?" We most likely chose this due to it being the easiest question to answer with out prior knowledge. After researching for the anchor chart, we came to the conclusion that nuclear radiation was both matter and energy. This assignment was overall fairly enjoyable, mostly due to the fact that I was able to draw something. Besides that factor, however, the anchor chart was still easy enough to do.
Grow - Do Now Quiz: Nuclear Symbol
This was a do now quiz based of Nuclear symbols. This was one quiz grade of many, but it still lowered my quiz average heavily, due to me getting only a 1/4. If I could think of ways to improve in the future, it would be most likely to just pay attention in class more and to understand the material as much as I can. The do now quizzes act as pop up quizzes tho, so its slightly challenging to do that.
MP2
Glow - Smartphone Spectroscopy
This assignment required us to create a spectroscope. We built it out of a paper template as well as having a grating to demonstrate the spectrum. We'd then have to build it and take some pictures while aiming it at a light source, which is what the image above demonstrates. This project was overall very enjoyable compared to the other assignments I did during the marking period, or at least one of the most enjoyable. Although I completed this assignment a bit late, I also still got a good grade on it.
Grow - Atomic Emission and the Bohr Model Test
This test was related to Atomic Emission and the Bohr Model. Although I initially assumed that I would do fine on this test due to me doing well on previous test, I ended up being very wrong. I ended up getting a 69 on the test. I believe the main reason I got such a low grade on this test was because I didn't prepare well enough. The things I wrote on the cheat sheet that I was given weren't really effective in actually helping me in the test. Even with that, I shouldn't have entirely relied on that to get a good grade, with me actually reviewing the material being a factor to. I made this same mistake with a test I took later in Marking Period 2 as well. For these reasons, my goal for MP3 is try and be more responsible with test when they occur, with me properly filling out the cheat sheet and just reviewing the material explained in class overall to try and get a better score on these test.
