Final Blog of the course

The most valuable learning from summer chemistry has been the ability to learn concepts in one day and be tested on them the next; it really makes me motivated to pay more attention in class. I feel like I understand new concepts that may have been more difficult during the year because in summer school I can focus my full attention on learning them rather than having other homework that I have to complete as well. I really enjoyed the experiments because I felt like they taught organization and the taught a lesson in a more interesting way than having a teacher lecture. The lab experiments were really different than anything I am used to and I learned a lot from them. However, I think that the most valuable lesson was learning to become focused in class and learning how to use the periodic table. I feel like the periodic table is a really good tool to understand completely and I am glad we focused so much time on learning many of the key properties of the table. The course has been a great learning tool for study skills and learning new concepts that will be useful in future science courses.
