The Beanium Lab was made to help us realize that not all atoms are the exact same for each element. There are many different types of Isotopes for each element. We essentially counted out different beans and used them as examples of different isotopes and got different masses for each bean. |

Your comment was interesting to think about becasue it made me reflect on what we were supposed to understand from the lab. I liked how you pointed out the objective like this. I would recommend that you explain the lab a little more becasue an outside reader wouldn't know what we did in this lab and would be a little confused. I would also provide some of the results from the lab. I liked how you included the formula for finding the average atomic mass, but right after this you should have added the atomic mass that you found in the lab. Just some things to think about, but overall good post!
ReplyDeleteNice post Matt. I also like the fact how you used a picture of beans which look just like the ones from the lab. Very smooth. :) I almost didn't notice the fact that the picture was not from our lab. And yeah, I agree with Megan about the fact that you should explain the lab a little further in detail.
ReplyDeleteThe picture you used is very colorful and appealing to the eye; I like the color combination. The diagram about calculating average atomic mass is also extremely helpful, depicting the fundamental of the equation, similar to the link you provided.
