Project Description:
The purpose of this project was to fully understand chemical equilibrium. First we had to learn about chemical equilibrium and what it was. After we got a better understanding each of us chose a topic to base our project off. We got to work on our projects both inside and outside of the class. We only had a couple weeks to do this. For each of our topics we had to find research about how chemical equilibrium corresponds to our topic. We also had to put our final project onto a social platform that one hundred people were able to see. I chose my topic to be Calcium in our body and Osteoporosis. Our research including information such as the chemical formula, what the causes and effects were, etc. Each day we worked on our project in class. We created our social media platform presentation and final supporting document. The supporting document had to contain our sources in MLA format with a description of each of the sources. I decided to make a Prezi for social media. We had to let the rest of the class comment upon our project and give us critiques as well.
Reflection:
I’m not sure how much I enjoyed this project. At first it was pretty difficult because I was unsure of how we were to accomplish our ending project goal, but in the end I was able to understand its purpose. I know I could have done better on my Prezi with adding more information and having more creative transitions because instead of just following the standard template, I want to be more creative. I also could have worked more at the beginning. I waited to do some of the largest parts of the project more towards the end which left me with a lot of work in the end. Overall I think I should have planned my project a little better. I knew this was the topic I wanted to do my project. I thought I represented my topic well through my Prezi. I wanted to show that this is a serious topic and people need to focus more on it. I also thought I did good on presenting it to the public. I was able to put it on a website that many people have access too. I thoroughly enjoyed this project and I wish we had had more time to further on our topic. I wish had had time to really broadcast this, but overall it was a very interesting project.

Osteoporosis is a disease that affects the health and density of your bones. If you have large holes in your bones that means that your bone density is low. Many think swelling and joint pain is a symptom of osteoporosis, but that's a symptom for arthritis. People can take bone density tests that can let you know your bones density mass. Women are more likely to get osteoporosis. Women are more prone to it because when they’re going through menopause their estrogen levels decrease. If you know the risk factors, you will be able to prevent the risk factors.

“The state of our bones is always close to an equilibrium between bone formation and bone resorption.” Osteoblasts produce the organic part of the bone matrix. Calcium is one of the main components of our bones. 70% of our bones weight is made of hydroxyapatite. A lack of Vitamin D also affects your bones strength. Bone metabolism is due to two types of cells , osteoblasts and osteoclasts. “Osteocytes are simply osteoblasts that have encased themselves in bone. Osteocytes are able to sense mechanical strain, which they report to the bone construction units via this network.”

Equilibrium is when a chemical reaction can be a forward reaction and a reversible reaction. “Virtually all chemical reactions are accompanied by the liberation or uptake of heat. If we regard heat as a "reactant" or "product" in an endothermic or exothermic reaction respectively, we can use the Le Châtelier principle to predict the direction in which an increase or decrease in temperature will shift the equilibrium state.” If the pressure of a gas is increased, the volume will decrease and vise-versa. Pressure has a big effect onon only the reactions that have a change in the number of moles.
