Chem Standard 6a Students know the definitions of solute and solvent.

Solute is the substance dissolved in other solutions. Solutes can be a solid, gas, or a liquid. For example if you dissolve salt in water salt is the solute because you need more water to make salt water and you need less salt to make it. Another example is when you dissolve sugar into hot tea. The sugar is the solute and the tea is the solvent.



Solvent is the substances trigger to the solution. It is the key item for solutions. Solvent can be a liquid or sometimes a gas or a solid. For example if you dissolve salt in to water water is the solvent because water is mostly doing all the dissolving causing a solution of salt water.

Unique Japanese cellphone charger

In Japanese class I was watching a video about how Japanese cellphones are more advanced then any cellphone in the world. The video was right about that. There were cellphones that can be your credit card, cellphones that can separate its self, and a lot more unique cellphones. But there was this one cellphone and its cellphone charger that I liked. It was this one.

The cellphone is an ordenary touch screen cellphone. The unique thing is the charger. The charger is that red helm on top. It works like this, in order to charge this cellphone 1st you have to lift up the helm. You will see a pocket to fit the cellphone in the helm. Once you put the cellphone in the helm and then close the helm the phone lights up. The light is being the eye of the helm. While the cellphone is charging the eye moves left to right. I think this cellphone and charger is the most coolest thing I've ever seen.

mini project


On 5/4/10 my class did an experiment about sugar. We had to mix water with sugar and boil it. After that we got a lifesaver candy and tied a string on it and then tied that on a stick. We put the stick on top of a beaker so it'll hang down in to the beaker. After we did that we pour the boiled sugar water in the beaker. I think the sugar will go on to the stringer life saver and make a long line of sugar.
