Waterpolo and Chemistry

One of my main passions is waterpolo. It is a great physical sport. I play Mills Varsity Waterpolo. As of now, I play goalie for my team because we only have 7 eligible players to play. The rest of the players will be eligible by next thursday. We have not won one game yet and hopefully we will win tomorow against Carlmont. One thing about waterpolo that really bugs me is that every tuesday and thursday I have to leave school for my games. This causes me to miss out on chemistry class. I am now really falling behind in chemistry and i feel I have less of an understanding than the rest of the class.

Conversion Factor

conversion factor is very useful to help find out problems such as finding the amount of minutes in a year or vise versa. By cancelling out the top and bottom units you can multiply all the numerators easily. Conversion Factor is a great skill to know if you want to easily convert a unit to another unit both ways.

labs!

Labs are the best part of chemistry. In labs, you get to go hands on with learning chemistry. It is a lot funner than going through books and books just to learn. With labs, you get to really learn your craft while having some fun. Although fun, you must also be careful when doing labs to not break glass, wearing goggles, and being weary of your surroundings.
