In our class we have been studying chemistry, there are five main different
chemistry studies. Those chemistry studies are: combustion and photosynthesis, the pH
studies, structure of matter, periodic table, and the limestone cycle. Here is a summary on
In the beginning of our chemistry studies we were working on combustion and
photosynthesis. In this study we burned a variety of plant materials; as a result we created
combustion. In order to find out what photosynthesis was we had to examine how a plant
grows; we drew a plant and labeled the following: light, warmth, air, scent, minerals, and
water. As a result we figured out that photosynthesis is a build up of substance.
The next chemistry study we did was the pH studies. This had to do with acidic,
base and neutral matters. A way of testing to see a matters pH is by putting the matter in
a test tube of some sort with water and blowing into it with a straw. After blowing into it
for about 5 min. you can start to see some results, usually if it is on the darker side (blue)
it means it is more basic and if it is more light it is acidic (red is extremely acidic).
Another chemistry study we did was the structure of matter. This study was my
favorite and this was basically because I thought compounds, atoms (protons, neutrons
and electrons) and elements (especially) were interesting. I thought it was interesting in
this
