Today we did a practical which was called, “Common indicators”. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the uses of various indicators in acidic and basic solutions. We were overall conducting the experiment safetly and tried not to ask our teacher help in the experiment as I heard that we may lose marks for [...]

Today we did a practical which was called, “Acids with Metals”. The aim of the experiment was to find out the reactions of acids with metals. Overall I believe that as a group we were safe and precautious of not spilling chemicals and safety measures. We have to do a safety report as a group [...]

Today we did a practical called “Acids and metal carbonate”. The practical was very interesting and I didn’t know what the results would be. My hypothesis was not correct but our experiment was successful and safe with no one getting hurt. Everyone was wearing there safety glasses and following all instructions.  One thing was that [...]

Today we did an assessment on writing practical reports and we were given a scaffold with results and we had to determine what the practical would be and the purpose of it. I am sure I will get full marks. Below is a file which contains a scaffold for writing a science report.

Today we did the Decomposition and Combustion practicals and the purpose of the pracitcals was to learn about the process of Decomposition and Combustion. I wasn’t available to be there for the first practical but avialable to view the second practical. this was due to the fact of me having to do the class test [...]

I wasn’t here for science as I had to present my IST/CST presentation to the Brothers but I found out what we did in the lesson. We did the class test on the first chapter about the elements and the Periodic Table. The purpose of the test was to make our permanent grade instead of [...]

Today we did two practicals which were Corrosion and Precipitation. We had to write the experiements on paper which I learnt were practical reports. The purpose of the experiment was to learn the process of Corrosion and Precipitation and learn how to write practical reports.

The purpose of this lesson was to give a background insight in the topic and given some theory work. I learnt about the different reactions and just the general theory of the topic. We were also given our documenation such as the project planner, entry document, etc.

We were given our 2nd project and I am sure we will learn much more and already we have been given a background insight with information so we can complete the project better and have a greater efficiency. I believe we have a good blend of people in our group who are Jonathon Saad and [...]
