Here is the place to post your reflection on the Visualizing Molecules Lab.
For this reflection, you should answer the following questions:
1. What did I learn from this lab?
2. Was it better to work with models instead of just the chemical formulas? Why or why not?
3. What questions do you now have about molecules?
This reflection is due Friday, October 24th.

I learned that molecules are somewhat similar to legos becuase they both have the same concept. They both connect.
I think it was better to work with models instead of chemical formulas because it was much more fun and it gave us an easier way to understand molecules.
One question that i would like to know is that how many types of molecules are there like carbon dioxide, water and others?
I learned that molecules work together to contribute to the functions of the life processes. This is what legos are like because they both connect.
I think it was better to work with models because it gave us an easier way to picture the models and how they work. It was also much more fun rather than reading chemical formulas.
One question i have about molecules is what would happen if molecules that didn't mix got put together?
In this lab I learned how to re-enact chemical reactions, in my case photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
I liked working with other materials besides paper and a pencil. Doing this lab hands on really helped me understand how chemical reactions work.
I was wondering what would happen if you added one of a random element to a molecule. Would it completely change the substance?
In this lab I learned how molecules are formed. i thought it was a great way to explain it using legos, puzzles, and gum drops. using examples was much easier to understand how chemicals bond then just using chemical formulas.
I learned that when molecules connect with each other they create chemical reactions and a new element is formed. It’s just like when separate Lego pieces are connected and a new structure is formed.
Yes it was better to work with models instead of just the chemical formulas because it gives you a chance to see a three dimensional molecules instead of a formula.
I wonder if there is a kind of molecule that cannot be pulled apart?
In this lab I leaned that molecules are like legos because they both connect. I think it was better to work with molecules because it made it more fun and instead of looking at a piece of paper you see it in 3-D.
I learned that molecules can be taken apart and be made into different things.
I think its better to work with models because its fun and you get a better idea of the concept with the hand on acctivity.
How many different types of things can you make out of glucose?
In this lab I learned that puzzles and legos are just like molecules. Legos, connect and make a structure in the end, and puzzles fit together and make some sort of picture at the end. When molecules are formed (connected and put together)they make chemical reactions, which help to keep your body balanced. (Bonds are broken, bonds are made to grow)
I deffinetly think its always better to work with models because, I learn easier with hands-on learning, and it helps me visualize more. I still think the chemical formulas are also good to work with.
Some questions i have about molecules are:
What are other important chemical reactions like photosynthesis, and cellular respiration?
Could you put random elements together and form a chemical reaction?
I learned that legos and puzzles and almost the same as molecules.
They all connect by something either bonds or bumps what ever you want to call them.
i think that use models because its fun and easier to do than writing.
What would happen if you added a bunch of random molecules together what would happen?
In the lab I learned that Legos and puzzles are a lot like molecules. They all have connectors and they all make something when they are done. I also learned that a simple sugar molecule could be more complicated than you would think. I never thought a plant could be so advanced compared to humans
