I have always been a loud person. At
home my brothers are always talking about how I’m “yelling” all the time (even though I’m not). I guess it comes from my desire to be heard, and on top
of that answered. I've always been the person to ask questions, whether it’s in
a class at home or even just a personal question to myself. Generally they are
good relevant questions to whatever the discussion at hand is about. But sometimes
they can get silly, even meaningless such as “why is it that in kindergarten
your desks are actually whole tables and in college you have this crappy notebook-size
thing to write on?” (Me, Said in my social issues class) I guess the answer is I
have an instinctively inquisitive mind. I’m always the one to raise my hand
because I have some need to be answered. To me inquiry is getting answers to
any and all questions thought up of.
In my
chemistry class we went over a few terms we will need to know for the class.
Theory- A tested explanation of the behavior of
nature.
This relates to the course because chemistry
is the interaction of matter in the universe. And in order to understand these interactions
we need to test hypotheses.
Chemical change- The breaking and/or formation
of bonds through the exchange of electrons.
This is important because it is the majority
of what the course is about. Even if we don’t see it everything around us is
undergoing chemical changes from trees using photosynthesis to cars burning
fuels.
