14 October 2013 - REFLECTION

3 things I've learned

• We must not give up. 
• If we work hard, our hard work will be paid off.
• Never do last-minute revision.

2 things I would like to improve on

• Do more mindmaps.
• Do not to be shy to ask if unsure about something. Everyone makes mistake.

1 thing I would like to try

• Try to aim for A1 for Science.

Today's work!

-----Assignment assigned by Mr Elijah Ong-----(Mr Ong's blog)

So far I have learned about :

• Measurements
• Density
• Acids and Alkalis
• Atoms and molecules
• Elements, compound and mixture
• Filtration

As stated in his blog , I need to choose any of the two topics above and find the following materials to support my learning. 

1. Scientific articles
2. Videos on YouTube
3. Ppt that other people have created.
4. PDF notes that other people have created.

Then,

I need to list down at least 5 things that I learnt from the materials ( 5 each topic ) . 

I also need to list down things I don't really understand and would like to find out more.

I decided to choose these topics ;

Atoms and Molecules

1. Scientific Articles

There are alot of articles that you could find on the internet. 

Some examples are :

• Engineering functional structures with single atoms and molecules
• Unpeeling atoms and molecules from the inside out
• Toward real time observation of electron dynamics in atoms and molecules 
• New technique excites atoms and molecules using pulsed laser
• EUROCORES conference gives cold quantum matter a European twist
• ((You can see more articles at the following website. You can also read the articles. http://esciencenews.com/dictionary/atoms.and.molecules))

2. YouTube video

3. PowerPoint that other people have created  / 
4. PDF notes that other people have created .

The experiment .

FILTRATION PROCESS

I did this experiment with my partner, Arina. My teacher asked us to try out how to separate salt and sugar by ourselves. I read about filtration ( a process to to filter ) through Google and saw a video on YouTube about Filtration. 

This is the video. Check it out !

Photos taken throughout the experiment :

This is the materials used. 

It's excluding the Bunsen Burner set-up.

I have more photos but they are all kind of the same in the YouTube video.

Reflections

REFLECTIONS ON HELIUM ATOM

3 thing I've learnt from this project :
- Helium atom has 2 electrons, 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
- Helium is in the 8th group.
- Helium is a noble gas.

2 things I would like to improve on :
- What materials used
- The way I labelled the parts

1 thing I would like to learn :
- How to make a more 3 Dimensional model

Videos from YouTube

You could also watch these videos from YouTube to understand more about Chromatography and Types of Mixtures. There are also the ones about Filtration. Just search it on YouTube. YouTube is the best place to find videos.

Chapter 7 MindMap : Separation of mixtures

SEPARATION OF MIXTURES

This mindmap shows a lot of stuff . Just give it a click to see the full screen . Thank you xD

Chapter 6 MindMaps : Elements , Compounds & Mixtures

ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS & MIXTURES 

This mindmap tells about what elements, compounds and mixtures are and the properties and examples .
