Reflections

1. Why is this exhibit a good choice for placement in your e-portfolio?

During this project, I learned alot about the element Mercury and what it's used for.  I also learned that I can be creative in making a super hero up from an element and in making a poster. 

2.      What did you find most interesting about this exhibit activity and why?
The things I found most interesting was learning that my element was at a liquid state at room temperature.
3.      In what way(s) did you find this exhibit a challenge to complete?
I found it difficult to find some information about my element. For example, I couldn't find any information on the melting and boiling point.

4.      If you were to do this activity again what changes would you make and why?
If I were to this activity over again, I would make sure I did my poster in enough time to make it creative.  Also, I would have collected more information to make my story better.
5.      What change(s) in attitude or behavior helped you to meet the challenge?
I put alot of effort into my poster even though it wasn't my best. I also tried to look up extra information

6.      What grade would you give yourself for these reflections, from “1” to “4”, where “4” is the best? (Refer to the E-Portfolio Reflection Rubric.)Give specific evidence explaining why you gave yourself that grade.

I would give myself a 3 becuase I feel like I didn't answer the questions to my full extent.

If you were an element, what would you be like?

If I were an element my name would be Cassidium. Cassidium would be a metal because it gets along with most elements on the perodic table.  As a metal, Cassidium is  flexible in most siuations and can go any which way like me.  Most of the elements on the perodic table are like Cassidium. Some are not, but Cassidium still gets along with them. Also, Cassidium's boiling point and melting point would be similar becuase I spend so much time outside.

What am I learning about myself as a student in chemistry

I am learing alot about myself  as chemistry student.  I learned that I need to take more efficent notes in class in order to prepare better for tests.  I am also learing that with the chemicals we are using I need to be careful in the lab.  Also, I am learing how to use the lab equpitment and do expierments in class safely.
