Fe-ar not, Iron is here to save the day!
Welcome back to my blog, and today I will be showing you what we have been working on recently in Science 9!
Recently we have been focussing on a lot and I mean a lot of stuff, from covalent bonds, to ionic compounds, to diagram and even the elements themselves. Yes, we have been focussing on the very scary intimidating PERIODIC TABLE… Dun Dun DUNNNNNN.
Ms. Kadi has helped us get over our fear of the periodic table by teaching us how it works, like how it is grouped and she will even read us a chapter about a different element almost every science class! I have learnt all about arsenic, radium and a few more..
Now I will be the teacher and launch you our project. For starters everyone picked an element, one that they wanted to learn more about. I chose iron, for a few reasons. Once we picked it, we had to investigate and learn a few things about it. At the end of this project which we still have not reached, we will be painting a drawing that helps represent our element. So in our research that we did we had to also include a rough draft and idea of what we are going to paint!
Here is my research package about Iron!
let’s hope that works..
Now you know a bunch about Iron!!! Yay. Anyways as I said we have not got to the painting yet, but I am super excited because we don’t get to paint with normal paint, but we get to paint with copper! This is super special because Ms. Kadi made the copper paint herself! Well she is in the process of making it. I am looking forward to painting and I will make sure to do a blog post about it when I am done!
Reflection:
As I reflect on all our informative work we did for chemhistory, it’s clear that chemistry is a lot more than what I thought it was. It’s an umbrella which covers a lot, from the “small” things like elements and compounds to how our world works. From the microscopic movement of particles to the structure of compounds, I am happy and thankful that I learnt all of this as it makes me more appreciative of the scary looking periodic table.
