Today in class, we conducted the Beanium lab. The purpose of the lab was to determine the average atomic mass of a new element, Beanium. First, we divided up each of the isotopes of the Beanium into 4 groups; White, black, red and pinto. Then, we measured the mass of each isotope, then divided the total mass of each isotope by the number of atoms of the isotope present. Next, The average mass and percent abundance of each isotope was calculated, which gave us what we needed to find the average atomic mass of the Beanium. The average atomic mass that we calculated was .271g.

| The total mass of the pinto isotope was 5.87g |

| Our sample was sample D, contain 42 Beanium atoms |
You made some good points in explaining all the important points of the lab. I liked the way you added pictures with productive and descriptive captions to go along with them. Also it is helpful that you included the mass of the lab, because it can be easy to look at for future lab reports or studying.
