This simulation visualized the movement of particles happening in a cell.

Chemistry is an interesting topic as it discusses the movement of particles. Ever since I read a text about Brownian motion, I was fascinated by the collision of particles. The cell membrane talks about the travel of particles through a permeable barrier. I used my previous knowledge of the motion of particles to understand diffusion. I enjoyed creating connections between the different sciences.

This simulation represented the cell structure in a form of a video game.

The representation creatively captured my attention while playing. It is similar to Battle Star Galactica, but instead of space, it is located in the cytoplasm of a cell. My favorite aspect was the simple definitions. Through its visuals and information, I was able to understand the topic better.

This problem is about the calculations of a microscope. Given the magnification and the image, the class was tasked to find the actual size of the object.

Many of my teachers are aware I enjoy reasoning formulas. I nitpick the operations used in order to understand them better.  Similarly for this equation, a formula was given: the actual size is the quotient of the image over the magnification. The image is the magnified or enlarged version of the actual size. By dividing the image, it cancels out the magnified perspective, leaving the actual size.

This simulation provided detailed and direct descriptions of the different types of bonds.

During class, I often relate analogies to science concepts. This helps me understand the concepts better. A similar question regarding metallic bonds appeared on the unit test. In my answer, I compared metallic bonds to a game of hot potato. As the metals pass around the excess electrons. Meaning they want to get rid of the electrons in order to become

The class was tasked to create a series of infographics explaining the periodic table.

Since the end of summer, I’ve been working on creating magazines for a youth non-profit organization. The skills I developed assisted me in creating the visuals (as you can see the typography is really bad). I enjoyed this task as I was able to express my creative freedom while explaining scientific concepts simply. One day I hope to create a YouTube channel explaining concepts I’ve learned in math and science.

This interactive simulation provided several mini-games in order to assist players in their understanding of the periodic table.

In this activity, my group collaborated together in order to understand these concepts. I enjoyed explaining my understanding to them as it was beneficial to me as well. According to the renowned physicist: Richard Feynman, explaining your understanding to others (specifically 6-year-olds) is beneficial as it helps you comprehend

This task involves the conversion of moles to grams and vice versa.

I’ve been having a difficult time understanding moles. Despite my interest in math and science, units are not my strength. This can be shown through my previous exams, where most of my incorrect answers are due to the lack of unit, especially in math. However, I found conversion factors particularly interesting. Figuring out the reason for the cancelation of the numerators was fun. I utilized my previous knowledge of relating all operations to addition. Since division is multiplying a reciprocal, and multiplication is repeatedly adding. One can argue division is a type of addition. Besides that, I thoroughly enjoyed discovering the reason behind it.

This paper investigates the effect of different amounts of starch on viscosity.

Because of the pandemic, tools were limited. Viscosity is often measured with a viscometer. However, this experiment is innovative. Through getting the boiling points of each substances. In order to compare viscosity.

All the simulations were fun! My favorite simulation is the parts of the cell game. Similar concept to battle star Galactica. I ran away from the lysosome (yikes) and shot the other organelles. I enjoyed this simulation because of its similarity to an anime I was watching at the time, Cells at Work.

Infographic because it covered my favorite topics: periodic table, electrons, chemical reactions, and nuclear forces. I play the song on repeat periodic table song, so discovering the reason behind the arrangement of elements was interesting. As well as the incorporation of visual arts, playing with different colors and sketches was fun!
