Some new stuff and some old stuff

This week was full of chemical and physical changes. To help us understand more what physical and chemical change is we did a lab a to help us. During this lab we did a series of experiments and we had to determine if they were chemical changes or physical changes. My favorite experiment we did in this lab was the milk and red bull experiment. I liked this experiment because the chemical reaction resulted in a precipitate. In this case a precipitate would be a solid that comes out of a chemical reaction. The milk curdled in the experiment because of the acid in the red bull.

This week I also learned about and took notes on the different types of energy. Do you know the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy? Kinetic energy is the energy of motion but potential energy is stored energy.

This week we also had  a quiz. This was technically our first real quiz because our last quiz was just generic science stuff. I thought this was quiz was pretty easy but I had some trouble with the vocab. I can definitely improve on my studying by thoroughly studying the vocab.

This week we reviewed chemical and physical changes and learned about the different types of energy. I thought this week was fun even though we had a quiz. Since we were doing so many experiments I thought this link was relevant.
