March 05, 2009

Aight so like, today, we went into class, and then the first thing we did, I think, was like.... I forgot, but anywho, we got our tests back for the redox test thingy majiggy. Anyways, after we went over the test, we started the spectrum unit thingy. Apparently, there are a bunch of atoms that have like, certain colors and stuff... And something about the number 590 and 600 etc. We got a sheet teaching us how to make dangerous explosives (fireworks) and some more sheets and stuff about the spectrum and colors and elements and their colors and stuff.
So then like, we did this other thingy, where misses teacher dude had like, this machine that makes things glow. We got these wicked sick glasses, temporarily, and used them to look at the machine which made electrons fly around inside the gas tubes, causing the atoms to get 'excited' and emit a light (chemiluminecense I believe it is called). So first we did like, Hydrogen. Hydrogen had a really cool colour thingy to it, and with the glasses you can see three lines, Red, Blue, Teal, coming from the farther away side of the atom-exciter-machine to the inwards direction (that DOES make sense). And then we looked at Helium, which was Red Orange Green and Blue, and then Iodine, which was, like, pretty much the colour of the rainbow... (ROYGBiV).
Okay so then umm... misses teacher dude decided to try some more but they didn't work. So that was a fail.
So the uhh...... sheets we got from misses teacher dude were this one sheet, about atomic structure assignment 1..... that's what it's called.... and then another sheet, which looks like a chart for spectral lines of elements, and then yet another sheet, which we were to try and fill out while looking at the atom-exciter-machine, and yet another sheet titled : The Electromagnetic Spectrum, and then a Booklet regarding The Electromagnetic Spectrum of doom (this booklet contains instructions and ingredients for making a home-made fireworks thingy). And no, we will not be doing a lab with the fireworks thing. (Dang)
And then we basically like, did stuff...... like work on that first assignment sheet, which we were supposed to read a textbook for answers I think? I don't know.

Anyways I'm done scribing.

The next scribe will be .... itscaaandy

Theeeeeeee eeeeeeend.
