When I make the test for Thursday, I will focus on vocabulary and content that I think are most important, and so when you study, you should try to think like me.  The comic book guide is a good start, as well as the worksheets and the videos and the graphs  and of course the experiments and even the blogs. I like giving short-answer essay questions, because that tells me most clearly what you did and did not understand, and perhaps what misconceptions remain.  So study hard, give it your best shot, and enjoy the struggle...


You'all had a blank look yesterday when I mentioned colligative properties, so here in a nutshell...
Read and do just enough of the worksheet problems to "get it".

The best way to learn is to TEACH!

Homework:

1. Put your notebook in order/review for the test.  Gather notes/worksheets/experiments from chapters 13, 14, and 15 ( gas laws, intermolecular forces, liquids and solids, solutions); it should have its own section and should be put in a sensible order. Review vocabulary and main concepts and math work. Also review chapters 6-7 from the comic book guide; this should all be coming together now, hopefully.  Be able to read/interpret the graphs. Test on Thursday.
2. Worksheet from class:  Types of Solids, look in your textbooks chapter 14.6 and 14.7. Also Mr. Anderson...                                                                                                                                    23 - Ionic Solids
   24 - Metallic Solids
   25 - Covalent Network Solids
   26 - Molecular Solids
3. Math worksheets from class: Molarity and Dilutions (answer sheet to follow...)
4. And prepare your demos! to be done on Monday!  Let me know what you need TODAY, because I might not have it!  I'm really looking forward to these; the last time we did this, it was amazingly productive -- The best way to learn is to TEACH!

A preview of this chapter, Solutions:

This week's topic, Solutions, is well covered by these three teaching videos.  Follow along with the handout I gave you in class. (Jacquiline, you can print out from the site).  Lots of pages, but most of them go pretty fast.  Each video is about 25 minutes, so break it up.

Videos are found here:
http://www.gpb.org/chemistry-physics/chemistry/1001#
http://www.gpb.org/chemistry-physics/chemistry/1002
http://www.gpb.org/chemistry-physics/chemistry/1003

These lessons covers sections 15.1-15.3 and 15.10 in our textbooks. (The rest of the chapter is the maths.)
Also chapter 7 in the comic book guide, pages 129-140.

Begin to collect your notes for chapters 13-15, we will have an exam, emphasizing vocabulary, major concepts and a little math (gas laws, molarity)
This Thursday we will pick out demonstrations to do for Monday's class on topics covered recently- gases, phase changes, pressure, solutions.  Next Thursday will be the test. (material covered by blogs since March 20th).

TGIGF!

Thank God! It's Good Friday!

and no homework, unless you are catching up.   

You are all invited to Open Door's Good Friday service at Pioneer Park at noon.  David Harmon is speaking, and Jesse and Jadon are leading worship at the Gazebo. 

TAKE NOTES!

 

For all these videos, TAKE NOTES!

But the next video is just interesting, so notes is optional. [vocabulary to remember: hydrophobic "water-fearing", hydrophilic "water-loving"]

 

Having watched these videos, reinforce your learning by reading the rest of chapter 14, sections 4-7, as well as re-reading chapter 6 of the comic book guide to chemistry.  Highlight major points as you go.

Spend some time thinking about Monday's experiment, and reform your answers to the questions to reflect your increased understanding of evaporation and vapor pressure.  I would like you to turn in both experiment pages (cooling wax/boiling water + evaporation)  

If you missed class on Monday, here are the experiment pages:

http://www.evanschemistrycorner.com/WS/PhasesWS/WS6-3-3B_Vapor_Pressure.pdf

Homework for today is to finish what is left from Monday's homework, and to read  sections 14.4 and 14.5;  take notes on the learning objectives and vocabulary of each section (written under the title), and answer focus questions.

Also read from your comic book guide to chemistry - chapter 6, States of Matter.
Looking ahead: I want each of you to prepare individual solid/liquid/gas/phase change demonstration/experiments, similar to what we did earlier in the year with chemical reactions, to share with the class.  I will have some to choose from on Monday, or you can find your own online or at the library or whatever. Short and "simple", with clear explanations.

chemistry sucks...

we're talking straws here, and air pressure->>> and how our studies of the properties of gases, liquids and solids relates to the real world.

Actual paper homework: Finish the experiment worksheets from class, as well as the handout worksheets. --It's probably not as much as you think, even though it is a lot of pages.
Here is Avery's data, and my own from home, on the Heating Water experiment: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B07s3-bcUr7tZFlNYnNyajRMa0U/edit?usp=sharing which you will need to graph, one or the other, or both. [This page is a table of the HEATING WATER experiment, but it is labeled as the cooling wax--please adjust.]

Textbook reading: Chapter 14, sections 1-3 with Focus Questions {Notice the OBJECTIVES at the beginning of each section, and be sure to take notes on those concepts, and draw pictures to illustrate!} This saves lots of time!
Also, End of Chapter Problems 21-23.

Remember to do the Focus questions  (pg 449) and the End-of-Chapter Problems 21-23!
