In todays lesson the whole class along with their groups were advised into completing two practical tasks, one being on combustion and the other on decomposition. Also we had to burn magnesium. It was a little hard with decomposition seeing that we had to repeat it another time. Overall I had enjoyed the lesson of today.

4.) Discuss how you would feel if the Australian government banned the Internet. What privileges would you lose? (2 Paragraphs)
If the Australian Government banned the internet I would loose the privalages of doing research for assignments and entertainment. I would feel a little angry but at the same time a little relieved due to the fact that cyber bullying wouldnt occur regularly to depressed people.
I would feel also that I have lost the privaleges of communication with friends and not being able to chat with people that in which whom I know that I am talking to.

In todays lesson my class had to do a test involving the periodic table. In my opinion this test was a little hard seeing that I didn’t understand most of it. Although it was a multiple choice test it did give me a few confidence in doing it I probably would think I have passed.
In todays lesson we had to do a practical task which had involved the use of testubes and liquids. The second project that I have recieved in my opinion will definately better than the first for the reasoning of it is my second seeing that I have more experience and from how things are going so far it looks like itll be an easy project also seeing that 90% of it would be done in class so that there would be no communication problems. In todays lesson we had done 2 practicals 1. A CorrosionPractical and 2. A Precipitation Practical. Yes, today I had enjoyed the lesson seeing that it was a new and better experience from the others.
