My week...

Last week was an ordinary week. Actually it was a very quick week and we are getting closer to the end of this term , only 2 weeks to go! WAW It was very FAST.

Anyways ... lets move to the real stuff !

THE JOURNAL ...

Journal

I think I’m going to start with subjects I least like and go on to subjects I like the most. I think it’s better and keeps me away from getting it to be too boring.

So, starting with English, we (the classmates) are working on essays. We are learning how to write an essay in steps. And we are still in the introduction and moving on slowly. It’s a bit complicated; however we are learning it bit by bit hoping it gets easier.

IPT: I’m still dizzy about IPT. It’s a headache (obviously for me). We spent the week on doing some questions and on collecting devices... like: keyboard, mouse, camera, scanner, barcode scanner ...etc. We usually work in groups of two. And I did video camera.

In Biology, diffusion and osmosis were the main topics. We also did couple of experiments about these two topics. They are about movement of water and substances in and out of living cell and it’s an amazing thing ! It's unbelievable how these complicated processes do occur in small tiny microscopic cells.

Physics: It was a slow week in physics. We didn’t do much, mainly in the circular motion which is a “boring thing” and we are doing a practice expirement soon about it.

Chemistry: We did lots of naming compounds and its getting so easy. I can name almost any compound very quickly by now. The teacher also showed us a demonstration of separating water molecules to its basic elements: Hydrogen and Oxygen using electrolysis.

I’m getting to the end of my subjects list. And its Maths turn now, which I consider as my favourite subject. I know not everyone likes maths. BUT I do :)

In maths it was only solving quadratic equations using different methods and each method is getting harder than the previous one.

I think that’s it for this week.
See ya next week :D
