9/22/15 Today in Class

Since we have been discussing things such as the abundance and average atomic mass, today in class we applied what we have learned through lab called Beanium. At first, to get into the lab, we had to answer a pre-lab question in which we had to calculate the average atomic mass when we were given the mass and the percent abundance. Thankfully, the pre-lab question was much easier than I expected and I was able to participate in the lab. I thought the lab was very straightforward and relatively easy to conduct; it did not take us hardly any time to finish since all we had to do was weigh and do calculations. It was nice to be able to incorporate a lab into what we have been learning and see how the concepts are used even through beans.



















Here is a link to explain and practice the formula and how to calculate average atomic mass!

    Holly you made a really good point when you said that the pre lab question was a lot easier than expected. It was very straight forward in itself and directly related to what we had been learning.

    I totally agree with you when you say that the lab was easy to conduct and straight forward. It seems as if a lot of labs and a lot of chemistry take awhile to understand, but I was glad that this lab was easy, fun, and really conveyed how to calculate everything in a real element.
