Nomenclature Post #2

9/14: The first pre-test we took made me really nervous because I recognized the information as something I had learned previously, but I couldn't remember how to apply that information. Luckily for me, once we started going over it in class, it all came back. This unit was actually easier than I than I expected, which I was really glad for. I was able to memorize the 22 polyatomic ions with my flashcards and I continually got better percentages on all 3 tests that we took. I'm looking forward to the upcoming units, and hopefully I will continue to do well in the coming weeks.

9/11: I learned a lot during the Frontier Chemistry Project. I was surprised by the fact that so many plants had medicinal qualities, I knew about the healing qualities of the aloe plant, and a few others before I started this project, but now I know so much more. At the beginning this project seemed really daunting, and once I started it I understood better what I was supposed to do. It just took a lot, a lot of research, and hunting down plants so I could take a picture with them. When I first learned about the essay, I was really nervous, but once I started the project and started learning about the abundance of plants with medicinal qualities, I wasn't as anxious about the essay. By the time it was time to write the essay, I was really confidant about my ability to write about these plants.
