Week of September 22nd

A few notes on this week:
Movies
I think the science movies are a really fun idea. I am a fan of anything inbetween a documentary and an disney movie and I am really interested in seeing an inconvenient truth and the 30 days episode. I like how they wouldn't always be mandatory also, between 6 and 8 on thursdays is really prime school activities time and its a hard block of time to get available every week. Most clubs meet between 6 and 8 on tuesdays and thursdays and the honors night classes make it harder to get involved. Its nice to have some weeks when time is easier to balance.
Lab
The CO2 lab was interesting, the equipment didnt really work for my group though. We got weird readings that didnt really make sense, like the least amount of CO2 being in starbucks, that can't be right. I like the application questions though, about finding out how long people could survive in an enclosed space before it becomes too difficult to breathe, its something I have always wondered about strangely enough. The lab was much simpler and better organized than last week, it makes me wonder why we started with such a complex lab with so many difficult applciation questions, this one, I think, would have been a better choice for the first class.

*sorry for the shorter entry, my group presented on Friday so there isn't much to respond to there, although the questions by the class were very interesting, I gues thats the perks of an honors class. I really liked the brief review of chemistry in preparation for the next lab. Everything came right back to me once it went on the board and I feel really prepared to do the lab now.
