2. us
3. incorrect
4. added
5. but
6. successfully
7. warmly
8. for
9. have kept
10. results

【解析】
1. 由前文"I was sitting"可知句子描述过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，用过去进行时，take notes是固定搭配“记笔记”，故填was taking。
2. 动词teach后要接人称代词的宾格作宾语，we的宾格形式是us，表示“教我们一个有难度的实验”，故填us。
3. 根据后文“会让实验失败”可知此处指错误的操作，correct的否定形容词形式incorrect表示“不正确的、错误的”，修饰名词operation，故填incorrect。
4. 主句描述过去发生的动作，时态为一般过去时，add的过去式是added，表示“我们以错误的顺序添加了化学试剂”，故填added。
5. 前半句“我们感到沮丧”和后半句“我们没有放弃”是转折关系，用转折连词but连接，故填but。
6. 此处需要副词修饰动词finished，successful的副词形式successfully表示“成功地”，说明最终顺利完成了实验，故填successfully。
7. 此处需要副词修饰动词congratulated，warm的副词形式warmly表示“热情地”，指老师和同学热情祝贺我们，故填warmly。
8. 本句为现在完成时，后面的two years是时间段，要用介词for引出时间段，故填for。
9. 标志词Since that class提示句子用现在完成时，主语是I，keep的现在完成形式是have kept，表示从那节课之后我一直认真保存实验记录，故填have kept。
10. 形容词good后接名词，此处表示“好的结果”，result是可数名词，这里用复数形式results表泛指，故填results。

1. was taking
2. us
3. incorrect
4. added
