For the third six weeks, I learned all about waves.  I learned all the different types of waves, such as mechanical waves, transverse waves, compressional waves, electromagnetic waves, and information about each and every wave.  I know a ton of new vocabulary words and how fast the speed of sound and light is.  I learned about amplitude, wavelength, crests, troughs, frequency, color, pitch, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and so many other things. This was one of my favorite things to study especially since we learned about reflection and prism. The projects are getting better every six weeks.

This six weeks project went a lot better than the last six weeks project.  It was less hectic and I learned a lot about Isaac Newton’s Laws.  I also learned about displacement, acceleration, velocity, speed, inertia, mass, motion, as well as balanced and unbalanced forces. In another chapter, we learned about chemical equations and all the parts of chemical equations.  Now, I know how to write chemical formulas and equations properly.  I understood the lessons very well.  My part in this project especially helped me to understand the lesson.  I made the review for the class.  I’m starting to enjoy the projects we are being given.

This six weeks I learned about atoms and the periodic table. My group set up a little activity for the class.  The activity was an atom model.  It was fun for me.  I learned all about protons, electrons, neutrons, groups, rows, Representative elements, half lives, and elements.  Honestly, I never got the full understanding about alpha and beta particles and half life didn’t make too much sense either.  I’m not sure I like the idea of the class teaching me because they might forget to include something important in their lesson.  I might end up missing out on something important.  The project was challenging for me, possibly too challenging.  I liked the projects, but ours was a little chaotic.
