Last night was the Waikato Lit Quiz. It was a really fun night, and even though we didn't win we did do really well. My team came thirteenth or thereabouts and the other team from our school came twenty-first equal. There were some really difficult questions as well.
We are in Science for Tech Arts now. Last lesson we were learning about atoms, molecules, and matter. And liquids, solids and gases.
Each atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are clumped together and that's called the nucleus, and the electrons orbit around the nucleus in rings called shells. The first shell can fit two electrons, the second eight, the third eighteen, and so on. The number on the top left corner of the atom on the periodic table is the atomic number, which is how many electrons and protons that atom has.
The atoms make up the molecules, which make up everything in the world.
We also did liquids, solids and gases. Apparently, glass is not a solid but a liquid.
