This was week one reflection

Sophomore year, Honors Chemistry, 5th hour. This class has not been what i expected, then again i had little expectations from the start, for all i knew on the 6th, Chemistry was all beakers and Bunsen burners, chemicals and equations. The approach Mr. Abud has to chemistry, is one that i have not seen before, that the answer isn't as import as the process it takes to get there. All the technologly we have seen him use in class and we have used ourselves, it to perfect and better our understanding of chemistry, which is the whole point of chemistry. On the first day we sorted ourselves into groups, and even though there was some speculation over the groupings, the answer was not the most important part, it was the process we used to group ourselves. In all other classes i have, its all about the final product, the answer on the test, the final performance, like the process to get there was tossed aside for the answer, but in Chemistry, this specific chem class, we learn to do the opposite and retrace and refine the procedure to obtaining the answer. And i just asked Mr.Abud for how many words this has to be, apparently i'm still focusing on an answer.

The next activity we did was the magic cube, the visible sides were numbered one through 5, and it was our job to figure out the missing number. Turns out the box had no bottom, go figure, but the thought process we all had was the most important part, which is what i found was the main idea of last week was not the answer but the path to it.
