Hooke's Law Lab
In this lab the objective was to find graphically value of the spring constant for a rubber band. We set up a table with a ruler and a rubber band and applied weight to the rubberband to see how far it stretched. By doing this we got a set of data, which we put into a data analysis app on the iPads and found our spring constant.

Reflection-
As I do in most projects, I took away more than what my teacher had intended. Not only did I learn about the spring constant of a rubber band, I learn more about writing up labs. I think that if I want to be an engineer this will be an important skill. I also got to use new technologies on my iPad, and now have another experience with an active lab that I got to preform.

Chemical Reactions Lab
I really enjoyed this lab because we got to go into the lab room and do seven different experiments! As we were doing the experiments we all took observations and wrote down our chemicals and got to experiment with a couple really cool chemicals. After we finished the lab part we took all of our data and set off to write the equations for each experiment. We did this by taking the solutions we put to react together, and figuring out how they would combine and wrote the equations. After that we balanced them.

Reflection-
This lab was particularly difficult for me. I wasn't very good at predicting solutions before this, but now I think that I'm okay at it. I enjoyed working with my classmates and figuring it all out together. I think that one day when I get a job I'll probably be required to work in groups, so this is a useful skill to know.
