Chemistry 1: Comment on your classmates' websites
Is there anything that you do not fully understand about the atom? Curious what another group's take on your topic was? Read what your classmates learned and comment on it here. Feel free to give warm or cool feedback, just be polite. Although projects are organized by class, feel free to read and comment on projects from other class sections. My goal is for everyone to read and comment on at least one other topic/website.

Although this is not about an individual website, I just want to remind everyone that I am not overly impressed with MY website for all the classes. If anyone (among the 93 new googlepages experts) would like to help me out with the site design, please let me know!
I logged in with my google username, and password, and was able to post a comment
Since me and kyle did our web site on the big bang theory, i decided to check out the big bang project from section yellow. I think that Ada & Katherine did very well on their website. The website had a ton of information that was on topic and on an academic level we could all understand. Also they had many pictures and diagrams, which made it very pleasant to look at and to learn from. The only suggestion i would make is to have links at the end of each sub-page to take you back to the first one, just to make viewing the website easier.

Gee, unexpected error, anyway...
I thought the website for the nucleus was comprehensive and the web design is interesting and appealing. The AMU site was through too and has details relating to the subject.
I have yet to check out all of the sites throughly and read it in detail, but it seems like everyone put a lot of effort into their work. It's my hope to read everyone's website at some point.
Good job everyone.

I liked looking at the other people who had the same topic that our group did-the big bang- because it lets me see what we did differently and if it worked out as well. I thought that both of the other sections covring the people who came up with teh Big Bang Theory was a really good idea.
Looking at the other webpages in my own section gives me information if i ever need to answer a question or something.
I looked for Particle Accelerators in the Green section but there was not a link, instead I looked at Nick and Bianca's page from section Yellow. I liked how they had a lot of good pictures. It is a very complicated subject but I think that they did a good job explaining it.

juss here to check out the other websites =]
I checked out the Amanda and Alex's (Purple) Thompson experiment. Their project was informative and included other tricks to figuring out his experiments than just reading about them. Reading about the Right Hand rule was very interesting. The only thing I think they could have improved on would be separating the sections of Thompson's experiments and biography descriptions so they wouldn't all be on the same page.

Since my partner and I had Dalton's Atomic Theory, I decided to take a look at that webpage by the other two sections. I guess the link for that page by the green section doesn't work? The link for purple did work, however, and I think that their website is pretty well-done. I really like how Emily and Angelica compared Dalton to other scientists and talked about what he originally studied. One suggestion I have would be to use more "reader-friendly" colors, maybe something darker and easier to read as opposed to the neon turquoise on the website.
I did Milikans experiment so i checked out kaitlyn satmires groups webisite on him. They had most of the same structure and information as my groups website but i like how they incuded Faraday's Laws because it has to do with Milikan very much, and i wish i added it into my website. The only suggestion i have is for them to have added the steps of his experiment.

Wow - all the sites look really good. Great place to look for resources if we need to research again. I saw that most people put all their information in one or two links which is easier to navigate. I also found it really helpful that people discussed the experimentation behind their topics and provided diagrams. Katie and I studied the Big Bang, and I think that all the "Big Bang" projects seemed to get the same points down. Kyle and Erik had a page relating it to our Chemistry class, which was a great idea. Nice job, everyone!
Miles and I did our project and particle physics so I thought it would be interesting to look at another particle physics website made by another section.
It was very interesting to see Philip and Channel website on particle physics and how they tackled the vert complex subject we had to do.
The layout of their website was great and the pictures helped a lot. They made particle physics seem pretty simple.
Since, patricia and I did our project on Thompson's cathode ray tube experiment i looked at the same website in the purple section. I thought their page was very interesting and included more helpful diagrams than ours. Also, they included the right hand rule which was a good visual display as to what was happening. One suggestion i would give them is to organize the information into different sections and pages so that all the information isnt too overwhelming. I also looked at the big bang website from the yellow section, i thought that the timeline was really cool and gave a great visual summary of what was going on over that long period of time. Lastly, i looked at Chadwick's experiment from the yellow section. I thought that the page was very creative and i liked how the important vocab and facts were organized onto one side.

...this took me forever to figure out, but I got it eventually!
So, Alex and I did *Explosion* nuclear reactions, and so I decided to check out the nuclear reaction pages in the other sections. I chose to do green first, because its my favorite color.
For Mary and Jenna, I thought the layout was kind of cool. It made me think of futuristic things, like the Jetsons sort of thing if you know what I'm saying. I would've like to have seen more pictures, or perhaps having multiple little television screens for your website. Like each section had a television screen. That'd be kind of cool. You guys have good information in there, so all in all a decent website page!
For the section purple nuclear reactions group, BOOM. Your website is pretty awesome! Lots of pictures, and excellent quote at the beginning. I was like "MAN!"
That big picture at the head of the article was sweet. The chart was well made and was helpful. I thought it would've been better to make all your context text white so it contrasted more, making it easier to read. Other than that, congrats on an uber well done project!

I thought since me and Rose did our experiment on Chadwick's experiment, I'd check out some of the other websites on this subject. I really like Ryan and Jinzhao's from the yellow section. I thought it was similar to ours, but they had a better set-up, and a lot more links.

I thought Emily M. and Angelica from section purple had a very well organized website (I like how everything had a separate link) about Dalton's atomic theory and the information was well thought out. Ben and I did the same topic but our link doesn't work.
-Marcelle section green
With all the discussion about the term 2 projects coming up, I realized that I had not had the chance to take a look at all of the term 1 projects. Sooo...I went through most of the webpages from my section (YELLOW W00T W00T!)
particle accelerators- I like that there were a lot of pics, but was confused when the links on the pics brought you back to the website that the pic was originally from; intentional?
nuclear reactions- nice phrase, "Its mad cool dawg"; the chain reaction clip was very helpful because it showed what actually happens over time and not just a still pic; maybe just my pc, but it said a lot of the pics were unavailable
big bang- I really loved this webpage; the timeline was really useful, and I liked how they spent the time and effort creating their own pages for the many of the links rather than just linking another website; great job! (my only suggestion would be to add links back to the original page or add the same links to each page; that would be a suggestion for our page as well)
particle physics- hehe, visitor log is cute, but is it true? a few more links would have helped, but good info
rutherford- adding "quotes" and "little known facts" was a really great idea; it's a nice setup and makes it a more unique webpage
thompson- I really liked the links for the different experiments; it made it easier to organize and comprehend, not to mention less overwhelming; the "next" links at the bottom were also a great idea, maybe add a "previous" link too?
quantum physics- it fails (FAILS!!!), jk, very cute and funny
electron configuration- good job engaging the reader with a question to start the page; shows writer's enthusiasm and makes reader consider ideas coming up
I think links are very helpful in webpages like these, but it could just be a personal preference. I think it helps make the topic seem less overwhelming if a reader has the chance to digest a little piece at a time rather than having 8 or 9 topics thrown directly at them on one page.
Overall, I was very pleased with the class' work and am looking forward to next week's presentations!
All of these projects are very informative and useful for future research projects (if Mr. Balicki or our future science teachers decide to be evil and assigns us more, that is).
Quantum Numbers: I love the opening sentence. It's a great way to catch the readers attention! There were only a few minor spelling errors/typos. (I notice little things like these 'cause I kind of have a small case of OCD, haha.) I also like the really colorful picture, but I think having the pictures merged into the text would have make it easier to understand.
Periodic Trends: I like the pictures on the website. I can definately see the trends!
Big Bang: Wow! This website is awesome! The opening picture caught my attention and caused me to stare at it for about a minute 'cause it's so pretty. I love the navigation on the left hand side! The timeline is very helpful, I love it! It's such a great and complex project. Two thumbs and eight fingers up! :D
since me and megan did thompson's experiment, i looked at the yellow's section site for the thompson experiment. hannah and patricia's website was well organized and explained the topic very clearly.

I did the atomic mass unit along with Vince. I decided to look at the same topic from other classes. The Yelloe section approached it in a similar way to us and I thought that their project was really good. I really liked how the purple section used lots of color and links to explain the same topic in a different way Matt- Green Section

I did my website on quantum numbers and electron configuration therefore i checked out the yellow section's take on electron configuration of which I cou;dn't find the names. First thing i thought when reviewing this website was that it was very informative, in the beginning it gave links to wikipedia for the definitions of atom and electron configuration which was nice. The explanations for the aufbau principle, hunds rule and the pauli exclusion principle were easy to understand and the information was pretty similar to mine. They even explained how this was all useful so that was a great finish. The only thing i can say is that it felt like they were just saying the info so it was a little repetitive
wicked awesome websites people give yourselves a pat on the back
You write very well.
