Start the following in class:

1.a.  Go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 2.3 and 2.4 of your text, OR use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare a study guide for section 2.3 and 2.4, pages 48 through 57, in your chemistry text.  As you read, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class and on the distributed handout packet.  Or, if it will save you time, write a question for the sectionread the section for the main idea and write a summary paragraph when you are done reading.  You may record vocabulary entries in the body of your study guide ,or you may check them off on the chapter 2 vocabulary list that is available on Google Drive > Student Resources > Vocabulary.  As you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake.

1.b. Then ask yourself the Section Assessment questions printed at the end of the section that you have just read. Reflect on your answers.

  • You need to make sure you understand those questions that you find challenging, so you only need to record your responses to questions that remain challenging you, so that you can later review what you are learning.  If all problems seem easy to you, record the response to the one that was least easy for you in your opinion.
  • When you have finished responding to the formative assessment questions and problems, check page R84 of the text and check each of those problems that you can by writing in either a check mark (√) or a correction in green ink.  Write down any question that you still have so that you can ask about it later in class.  Some formative assessment questions do not have a suggested response given.  For each such question, circle the number of the question in the margin of your notebook page and check your response with that of your classmates when you come to class.

2. Write your journal entry on sheets of three holed 8.5 inch by 11 inch ruled paper in your Journal notebook. Each journal entry should either be at least a paragraph of exemplary writing and penmanship concerning a single topic, or be a concept map relating chemistry terms. Begin each day’s paragraph with a topic sentence, follow with explained instances, and close with a focused summary statement.  The required focus question, J19, for today is:

a. What are the three states in which the substance water is commonly found in the different environments found at or near the earth’s surface?

b.  At the same temperature how do the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of the same substance differ in the spacing between the particles of the substance in those states?

c.  At the same temperature how do the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of the same substance differ in the strength of the bonding between the formula units?

d.  At the same temperature which phase, solid, liquid, or gas, is the highest in potential energy?  Give reasoning to justify your answer.

e.  At the same temperature how do the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of the same  substance differ in the amount of disorder present in their respective states by virtue of how the particles are arranged and/or how the particles are moving in  those states?

Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:

1. Read the article on the classification of matter at http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Analytical_Chemistry/Qualitative_Analysis/Classification_of_Matter.  Reflect on what has been explained and record your insights in your Learning Log.
