Besides IB Art, they were pretty close. I think most of them were actually correct. English, HOA, Chemistry, and Spanish I think were spot on. Math was off by 1 point, and Art is a sore subject…
Happy Valentines Day Guys! If you are like me, you are studying for an exam as your valentines day present!
Gallium
Gallium is a silvery metal with atomic number 31. It’s used in semiconductors and LEDs, but the cool thing about it is its melting point, which is only about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If you hold a solid gallium crystal in your hand, your body heat will cause it to slowly melt into a silvery metallic puddle. Pour it into a dish, and it freezes back into a solid.
While you probably shouldn’t lick your fingers after playing with it, gallium isn’t toxic and won’t make you crazy like mercury does. And if you get tired of it, you can melt it onto glass and make yourself a mirror.
Price: $80
Someone get me this for my non-birthday.
For you IB chem kids
I’ve read some posts about people being stressed out about their extended essays. Trust me when I say everything is going to be all right. I ended up with a B on my extended essay when I only had a week to right it. My mentor made me change my questions a week before it was due to my IB coordinator, so I had to pull to all nighters to finish it up. I would say put a lot of effort into the research. The more familiar you are with your topic and the knowledge to answer your question, the easier it is to write the essay. Also try not to add too much information from one source into one area. It is also nice to be able to use information that is interchangeable between sources. In addition, anywhere you can add analyzation, do so. Good luck with your extended essays! ~an IB alumni
