As you may have noticed, I have fallen behind tremendously in terms of my blog updates, therefore I will try to make this post as "meaty" as possible to compensate.
Thursday we took a field trip to balboa park, to visit the Museum of Man (specifically for the copper age exhibit). In addition to the copper display, I also saw an exhibit on evolution. I actually enjoyed the evolution one more so than the copper age. Mainly because it was much more engaging, and I could relate to it easier. However, the copper age exhibit was interesting and very informative. After the museum we went and sat by the coi pond in balboa park, and wrote about the trip in our journals. When we finished with this, Anne had us take notes on water quality testing, to prepare us for when we take samples of water in various places around San Diego. It was a lot simpler than I had anticipated, which was a relief I suppose.
Friday was a long and project packed day! In the morning I worked through periods 1 and 3 to complete the powerpoint presentation on Chile with my partner, Kerstin Fuller. Then, in Anne's class, I worked on some CPM and molarity problems in preperation for the quiz. I finished both this, and the actual quiz, much earlier than I anticipated, and was fortunate enough to have time to work on completing the DP requirements for the digital portfolio.
This weekend in general I tried to focus on the water quality project, for which my prompt deals with the physical properties of water.
I came accross this website:
http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/waterproperties.html
I found it to be helpful because it was formatted in a very simplistic and easy to follow manner. Also, the source seems to be reputable because it is sponsered by the US department of the Interior. This may not always be the case, but seeing as the website pertains to the chemical properties of water and not something with a political agenda, I'll have a little faith in my government.
