Science at Bangor & in the News
Even though we only had a 3 day week, both Chemistry & Science 9 worked on some major concepts. Science 9 spent the week working on balancing chemical reactions. This was generally a panic-inducing process at first, but as we kept working on problems and used blocks to represent the atoms in a reaction life got much better. This was the last topic in our interacting particles unit, and we will have the end of unit assessment on Wednesday of this week (2/24).
In chemistry we learned about different types of chemical formulas. We spent Tuesday in lab making a salt called zinc chloride and will figure out what the empirical formula for the compound from our lab data. I received a donation over winter break that allowed me to purchase 6 Chromebooks. We are using the Chromebooks to share everyone's data as we collect it and will analyze the data to see if we all come up with the same formulas and discuss how we got our results & why they might be different between groups.
