I started school last week, and 'fell in love' with my courses!
My Chemistry is a blast and I've learned so many things
and have done 3 weeks worth in one week!
In fact, I've already done a few experiments...
... I was getting familiar with the metric system and converting units.
In that particular experiment,
I was finding the amount of density and mass in different liquids.
This was today, and I was calibrating my metric thermometer.
I was going to wait until the water boiled (at 100.0 C),
but I got tired after an hour and a half and quit at 45 degrees Celsius.
While doing so, I read about measuring heat, Kelvin,
tThe calorie unit, and specific heats of common substances!
I had a blast!
I also found it funny on my mom's recent post,
she posted about energy, and I related the terms to chemistry.
'The kids were so full of potential energy, that when mom
lit a fire in them to run around the house, their energy changed form to Kenetic.'
(1st Law if Thermodynamics, of course!)
Also, my Greek is going SOOOO great!
Using Rosetta Stone, they're definately giving me more practice in reading Greek!
They don't say or write a word in English.
The sentence in the picture above was
To mple autokinhto einai kainourlio.
Which means, the blue car is new.
(pronounced 'two bleh aufsto-keen-ee-toe ee-nah kennel-yo)
I must say, though, my most difficult sentence was
H hlikiwmenh gunaika ecei aspro mallia.
(E eel-ih-que-many ye-necka ee-ah ahs-pra ma-ya)
Mostly because when you say it, it needs to be sorta slurred.
Anyway, now I like going around the house and
putting sentences together in Greek.
It's so fun!
I also have a 'Curriculum Text' where the entire book is in Greek.
So fun to read!
I'm having such a blast in the school year so far!
