ItsaTest and Unit 1 Test

On monday, my friend told me that Mr. Olsen's IsaTest is a makeup for the IsaQuiz. She said that we had to either take the makeup before or after school. We were prepared to do the makeup after school on Monday when my other friend said that it is NOT a makeup test but is like a makeup test which is supposed to be taken on Wednesday. Everyone has to take the Itsatest but if you got an A on the Itsatest then your grade for the Itsaquiz will also go up. I was SO mad at my friend because on Sunday, i studied until late at night preparing for the "makeup". GRRRR!

Constitutional Day!

Today is constitutional day! During history class, we watched a play that some students volunteered to do. Mr. Olsen was also in it too. He was wearing a wig and costume and everything. For the past few days, we've been learning about ions and elements and mostly about the periodic table. We had to do a webpage project for an element of the periodic table. Since my name is Nenette. I wanted an element that has similar symbol as my name, so i chose Neon. While doing the project, i found out many things about my element like what it is used for and how it was discovered.

The Unit Song

Today, my chem class did a lab where we were supposed to look at all the differnt patterns and trends of the periodic table. During this lab, i noticed many patterns of the elements that i did not know of before. A few days ago, Mr. Olsen made us record the Unit song. It was hilarious and fun. Mr. Olsen showed us the completed video and also the uncut scene from our class. It was great to see how people from other classes made their video and how creative their video was.
