Reflective Essay: Cover Letter In Chemistry Lab 1 a theme that stood out to me and impacted how I learned was the connection of the lab and the lecture. This theme specifically impacted my learning, since when we would cover a concept in the lab that I was unfamiliar with the following time in lecture we would cover that concept. A specific example where we covered a concept in the lab, however had not covered in lecture was molecular geometry. Learning about this concept before proceeding into additional depth about it in lecture allowed me to connect with what I learned in the lab and what was being discussed in the lecture. By having covered it in both lecture and the lab allowed me to understand the concept better. Being in the lab and

By knowing how to use Excel more proficiently my lab reports can be more accurate and have a better display of what is going on in the experiment. Figure2- This is a comparison of my improvement on working on the correct amount of significant figures used. The image on the left shows where I incorrectly wrote down the significant figures for volume instead where in the image on the right shows the correct amount of significant figure for the data is being collected. Instead of focusing completely on the experiment in the image on the left caused me to put the incorrect amount of significant figures needed.
In the figure above the caption explains how I improved on recording the right amount of significant figures for the data that is being collected. Concepts that are still confusing and that could be improved are when explaining the procedure used to complete the experiment in the lab and explaining how to put the data in Excel to show our outcome of the experiment. By going into more depth of what we are doing in the experiment when explaining the procedure will help cause less confusion. Going through the step of the procedure and explaining them will also help with the understanding of what we are going to do in the lab for future experiments. Having the steps involved in using Excel to record the data clearly explained will help with the concept of recording data to the correct degree less confusing in the future. Another way this can be improved in the future is to have more in-depth of examples shown for what is needed to be
