Weekly Wrap Up 10/23/20 -- Chemistry experiment

 MarioFan is continuing his Chemistry online and it includes labs.  This lab included Chemical reactions


the lab report and directions  provided by the teacher
working with the indicator and discussing how chemicals reactions can be varied
most of the students do the lab along side the teacher and she can watch the results while the students follow along and they can discuss any issues the kids have if their reactions don't work, which did happen in this class!  Luckily MarioFan's all worked on this day
watching the chemical changes via color 
chemical reaction turning into gas--hard to see but this bag started to inflate

putting lemon juice onto one side of an apple while leaving the other side untouched


documenting the results after one hour 

and then documenting 24 hours results was the homework for this lab


While I was out of town the class did another lab and my husband sat in the room (away from the camera) in order to listen to the class and was pretty impressed with the topics being taught and doesn't think the class was dumb down at all.  Science is very important for us and we want to make sure MarioFan is being taught at the high school level and with online classes you can never be too sure based on the description!
