> Week 1, 4/13/09 > What I learned > What in science class I learned that atoms have neutrons and protons in the nucleus. All of these atoms have an atomic mass and an atomic number for example Oxygens atomic mass is 16 and its atomic number is 8. One other thing i learned was how to find how many electron shells it has Oxygen has one electron shells because the number of protons it has in the nucleus the same number of electrons it needs to have on the electron shell. What i want to know in science class is

Week 2 4/17/09 What I learned. In science class I learned about compounds, compounds are made of 2 different elements combined together. We also did a lab to test which elements are metals, non-metals, and metalloids. What I found was that the non-metals didn’t react with the acid we dropped on it. The metals reacted with the acid by showing a fizzing of bubbles.

Prompt #2

What I want to learn. In science class I would like to learn more about the different combinations of elements and what the reactions with each other would be. The reason I say this is because I want to see something react really violently like an explosion or starting on fire. That’s is what I would like to learn in science class.

Week 3, 4/ 23/09 What I learned. This week during the lab I learned that Carbon Dioxide is denser than air. The carbon is so dense that if it is put over a candle the candle the lit candle will go out. The reason the candle went out was because the carbon had taken all the oxygen out of the air so the candle had no oxygen to keep going. That is what I learned over this week

Week 4, 5/15/09 Prompt #1 This week I learned about frogs, frogs have many adaptations such as their tongue and skin. The reason the tongue on the frog is and adaptation is because it is attached in the front of the mouth unlike humans attached in the back, when the tongue is attached in the front it can go out of its mouth further than a tongue attached in the back. The frogs skin is very useful for the frog because the frog can breathe through it and it can also drink water through the skin.

Prompt #2 What I would like to learn more about frogs is how strong the force is applied when a frog has its prey in its mouth. Another thing I would like to learn more about frogs is where they first came from because if it came over seas then how did it get into America either by a boat or they were just all over the world.
