Prezi Reflecion

We were all asigned to make a prezi about an one of the first 20 elements, we were supposed to give basic information about the elements. I got flourine and learned a lot about it's uses and the history of this element, but i also learned a lot from the other presentations, I learned which elements can bonds, and that most elements in the same group were discovered by the same people. The thing discovered which is the most important is that elements are the building blocks of this world.

Electrode



Science Daily
October, 2011

Engineers made a electrocemical that uses a plasma for and electrode, instead of a solid piece of metal. This Plasma, unlike others is stable and can be used safely. Scientists conclude that this transfers electricity at a good rate. The important, thing scientists found out was that, in the future these could develop new pathways batteries and fuel cells design manufactoring. Scientists notice that before they can a accomplish this they need to expand on these electrodes.

I thought this article was intreseting, especially because in the future it could improve batteries, This could help us a lot because batteries would be less harmful but also last longer which is a big plus. I alao chose this article because of the place I found it whoch was the science daily site, which is can be trusted and a lot of intreseting articles come out. While reading this article I felt happy that there could be longer battery life in the future.

Putty's

During class we created silly putty's. The used common materials to create these putty's. The materials we used were, glue, water, baking soda and some sort of acid. At procedure required use to mix a moderate amount of each of these. At the beginning it was a very slimy substance, but as it had more and more contact with the air it became stiffer, but it you can still shape it. Something interesting I found out, was that it bounced when it was formed into a ball.
