Classification of Matter: There are many similarities and differences between the classifications of matter graphics. I personally like the graphic that is like a tree because it is easier to read. Some of the similarities of the graphics are that they all describe the classifications of matter, and all have the same outcome. Some of the differences are that one uses graphics to show the classifications and one doesn’t. They all show the different paths matter can take to be classified.

Separation of Matter: I learned that certain matters can be separated through distillation. I learned that dyes can be separated through chromatography to see all the colors that are in them. I also learned how they make different types of fuel through distillation of crude oil. Separating matter is like making coffee, just the coffee comes through without the beans.

Why is measurement important to you?: Measurement is important to me because with out measurement nothing would be the same. Things would be different lengths, it would be hard to find a treasure if your fallowing a map that had measurements on it. You couldn't find the treasure and you wouldn't be rich.

Redefining the Kilogram: I find this interesting because they are trying to find away to find a way to redefine something that has been around for 100 years. I think that they should remake the kilogram based on one of the replicas they have already. They should get this fixed because it is a priceless artifact. It will continue to lose weight if they don't get this fixed

Airline Security: I find it shocking that people actually do this and are okay with dieing this way. Hiding bombs and stuff in dolls just to blow something up and kill your self is stupid. I do hope that the technology to detect bombs and chemicals is further researched to prevent people from doing this. Without this technology many lives could be lost. Tyler, Again a bit short. I agree it can be a cruel world. 4 stars. MW

Tyler, A bit short and unrealistic. MW

Mole Day: Mole day is 6:02 am to 6:02 pm on October 23rd. A mole is 6.02x10^23 of something/anything. I am a sophmole, anyone in the tenth grade who is taking Chemistry already. A thermole is an adjective describing a mole of a highly explosive substance. I think we should find a thermole of something and make an explosion. Did you know Avogadro's favorite music was Rock 'n' Mole? Neither did I. I want to see where the Molar Express goes. I wonder what you win on the Mole of Fortune, maybe a thermole?

Tyler, You make me laugh! Good post. MW

Dust Explosion: It is shocking that something like sugar could be so dangerous. Who would think something that we use every day could blow up. I think that the dust from the sugar building up all over the factories is dangerous because if one small spot gets ignited it will cause and explosion. The explosion will kick up more dust and that dust will catch on fire and cause a chain reaction causing bigger and bigger explosions.

Tyler, How does this relate to stoichiometry. 4 stars. MW

Sulfur Hexafluoride: I never knew that having fun with gasses could be trouble. If the gasses were in a tank and weren't "pure" it would cause harm to your body. Sulfur Hexafluoride is an amazing gas. Sulfur hexafluoride is something that i would probably want to get and mess around with just to see looks on peoples faces... i think it would be funny. It also sounds really cool. I could also use it for magic tricks because you can make a tin foil boat float on "nothing". **UPDATED**

Tyler, Surely you have more than this to say! One star. MW

Motion Detectors: Motion detectors are used everyday. There are motion detectors in our schools bathroom that turn on the lights when you walk in. There are motion detectors in almost every store that beep when you go in and out or steal something ( which usually isnt a good thing). Home security systems use motion detectors to set off alarms and/or turn on lights when an intruder breaks in. motion detectors are key to keeping balance and making things easier in life, like walking in a store with out having to open the door or turning on the sink when you wash your hands.

Good observation on the sink thing. MW
