Mentorship 3/14/2013


Madison and Xander stir their solutions.

By dunking a vial of soda into freezing and boiled water,
the students observed the carbonation fleeing from the drink.

Mr. Hubbard demonstrates the "fun" that students can have with
dry ice and warm water.

Randomly, Mr. Hubbard places the bucket filled with dry ice
on a students desk and lets it fog up the work space.

Mr. Hubbard observes as the students play with the carbon dioxide.

Rachael traps the gas and notes how it clouds up, waiting to be released.

Students prepare to do their labs alone. They are required to use their
books and materials supplied and figure out the lab with the instructions
given.

Blog 19: Senior Project and ESLRs

1.  What ESLR have you excelled in most in your senior project? 
With my senior project alone, I believe I have excelled in mainly my Effective Communicator ESLR because in about two weeks, I will be presenting a hour and a half long lecture on "The Gas Phase" to my mentor and his class on March 21, 2013. I am extremely nervous, but I believe this will help me with my later life's goals to become a teacher and my two hour presentation. 
The book in which I have to teach
module 12: The Gas Phase from.

Sadly though, I really won't have solid evidence, in my opinion, of me communicating to the class so I will say that I am excelling in being an Effective Learner as well because I have to study concepts, that weren't taught to us, to teach them the curriculum in their text book as well as my extra blogs about chemistry facts that I want to either base one of my 2 hour activities off of or just know them for future endeavors.
