CHEMISTRY HAIKU

The Joy of Chemistry

I love chemistry

because of a great partner

he is Blake Ransom

WOMEN SCIENTIST

Barbara McClintock

Barbara was an American scientist that had a great impact on science. In 1983 she won the Nobel Peace Prize in medicine or physiology. She helped develop maize cytogenetic. She studied the changes that chromosomes in maize going through reproduction. She discovered how genes are related to the absence of physical features. She is one of the most famous cytogeneticists in the world.

I picked Barbara McClintock do to the fact that she affected science in such an enormous way. She changed the world of cytogenetic in a great way. It’s very interesting how one women can change the world so much. She is truly an inspiration.

SCIENTIST-Albert Einstein

When I think of science the first scientist that comes to my mind is Albert Einstein. I think it is because he is all over the posters and I grew up thinking he was the smartest man. Albert Einstein developed the equation E = mc2(squared) and one a noble prize in 1921 for his work on the  photoelectric effect. He also developed the Theory of Relativity. I admire him for having the brain to think of doing this and actually doing this. My mind can't even comprehend these ideas. So for him to actually come up with them and accomplish them absolutley amazes me.

2 GOALS for remainder of the year

1. My first goal is to complete all of my work and turn it in on time. I think this will help me learn the information gone over and class and therefor result in better test grades.
2. My second goal is to pay more attention in class and take better notes, this will also help my overall grade in the class.

E-PORTFOLIO

1.            Why is this exhibit a good choice for placement in your e-portfolio?

1.)    During my project I became more technology efficient, by learning to use Microsoft Excel. This project also helped aid in my learning of scientists and the development of atoms.

2.      What did you find most interesting about this exhibit activity and why?

 

2.)The thing I found most interesting about this project was how the scientist aided one another. Putting the information in a timeline gave a great visual of how the atom developed from one scientist to another. Great all around project to show scientist evolving the atom.

3.      In what way(s) did you find this exhibit a challenge to complete?

3.)    I believe the main two challenges in this exhibit was learning to use a very complex program such as Excel and finding the information to use. Watching videos of people using the program to make timelines did a great job in aiding the development of my exhibit. Also keying the most important facts took a while, but was completed in time.

4.      If you were to do this activity again what changes would you make and why?

4.)  If I were to do this exhibit again, I would get all of the information in their first and then make the exhibit a little more pleasing to the eye. Other than that I was very pleased with the outcome of my exhibit.

5.      What change(s) in attitude or behavior helped you to meet the challenge?

5.)    My changes in attitude occurred in being understanding, going into the project knowing it wasn’t go to go perfect was key. There were some struggles with my partner but since we started somewhat early and did not procrastinate to long helped us complete a successful exhibit.

6.      What grade would you give yourself for these reflections, from “1” to “4”, where “4” is the best? (Refer to the E-Portfolio Reflection Rubric.)Give specific evidence explaining why you gave yourself that grade.

6.)  I would give myself a 3.5 for this response, I think I honestly accessed all the questions with honesty, but some could have been a little more thoughtful.

THE ATOMIC TIMELINE

2nd blog post

If I were to be an element, I think I would be a gas. One because I have a pretty loose personality and like to have fun and two because like a gas sometimes i can be shy and dont like to be seen. I would be called lukeium and would be one of the best smelling/looking gases on the elemental table.
