Links and Videos

Videos:
I always like to watch the videos by John Green over the unit because they're fun videos that also do a good job of explaining the material

If you like a more serious and informative video you could try Khan Academy

Information sites:

This site contains a lot of the same material we got in class

This site has information over all the laws

Gas Laws Practice Fill in the answer


Weekly Quiz

I thought that the hardest part of this quiz was the concept questions. I think I did alright on the questions with math because I spent a lot of time practicing those from the practice quizzes online. I definitely need to spend more time on really understanding the conceptual aspects of this unit by watching videos or something. I find that Khan Academy has a lot of helpful videos but sometimes I get lost paying attention to them so I need to find other options so I get the best possible understanding. I also think I would have benefited from dedicating more time towards studying for this quiz.

Construction of an Air Bag Lab

I had to sit out for this lab because I left the math for the lab at home. I still can't believe I was so stupid. I don't know why I left it at home really I could've swore I put it in my folder with my procedure. I even tried it at home and everything to make sure I wouldn't fail in class but I ended up failing anyways because I didn't even get into the lab. :( 
You can bet I won't ever do this again, but I guess there's nothing I can do about it now so why stress over it right?
