How much did you know about chemistry when we started?

Before this unit, I already had a fairly good understanding of the topics we were about to learn. Still, I learned plenty of new things throughout the unit, such as the names for a few lab equipments, and a new format in doing stochiometry.

What learner profile best describes your approach to this unit?

I think the communicator best describes my approach to this unit of chemistry. Because I already had previous understanding on this topic, I spent the majority of my time teaching my classmates stochiometry. Teaching stochiometry for others to understand takes another piece of effort because it is required to have full understanding of the topic while teaching it. Phrasing concepts in a way that is understandable and interesting was another whole new lesson for me.

Considering you will have Chemistry next year in G9–how will you prepare for the class over the summer?

In order to prepare for the chemistry next year, I will read more articles online during the summer in order to be more familiar with more chemical properties and reactions. This would help me gain more knowledge on this subject for next year’s chemistry class.

What is one goal you will set for yourself for the Chemistry class next year?

One goal I will set for myself for the chemistry class next year is to gain more understanding on the properties and reactions of more common chemicals.
