LARN 026 C7D2
Start the following in class:
1. The required journal focus question, J26, for today is :
What is the mathematical relationship between
a. the centimeter and the decimeter,
b. the cubic decimeter and the liter, and the
c. cubic centimeter and the milliliter?
2. Log onto Google Classroom and follow the instructions for LARN 026 C7D2 on Review Problem Solving Using Unit Conversion Ratios.
3. a. Go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 3.1 of your text, OR use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare a study guide for section 3.3 of your chemistry text on Conversion Problems. Read section 3.3 in your chemistry text, pages 80 through 87, and as you do, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class and on the distributed handout packet. You may record vocabulary entries in the body of your study guide, or you may check them off on the chapter 3 vocabulary list as you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake.
3. b. Do some formative assessment problems to inform you about the degree of your comprehension and understanding. Assessment questions are printed at the end of the section that you have just read. Reflect on your answers. Make sure that you have understood the major points in the section that you have just read.
- In your Learning Log use blue or black ink and place your hand in number in a circle followed by your name in the upper right white space of a piece of three holed composition paper that hasn’t been written on.
- Place the page reference for the problems to be considered to the left of the red marginal line on the first blue line. Centered on the first blue line,write a descriptive title for the learning activity such as Section [chapter #.section#] Responses.
- Before you write your response to each question or problem listed below, write its designation to the left of the red marginal line as listed below, followed by your response in ink to the right of the marginal line.
- You need to make sure you understand those questions that you find challenging, so you only need to record your responses to questions that are 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.
- Study Sample Problem 3.5 on page 82 and then show your work for practice problems I3-28 (In chapter 3, problem 28) and I3-29.
- Study Sample Problem 3.6 on page 83.
- Study Sample Problem 3.7 on page 84 and then show your work for practice problem I3-33.
- Study Sample Problem 3.8 on page 85 and then show your work for practice problem I3-34.
- Study Sample Problem 3.9 on page 86 and then show your work for practice problem I3-36 and I3-37.
- In the Section Assessment 3.3 on page 87, read, analyze, and show your work for practice problems I3-43 and I3-44.
Selected suggested responses to some of the formative assessment questions are found in Appendix E [pages R82 through R106 at the back of the text]. After you are finished, check page R83 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 as we do in class.
Some questions do not have a suggested response given. For those questions, circle the numbers of the questions in the margins of your notebook paper and check your response with that of your classmates when you come to class.
Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:
1. Study and review the concepts discussed in the ActivInspire flipchart entitled Introductory Chemistry U1 & U2 flipchart until you are sure that you understand them well.
2. A summary of the important points to remember regarding scientific measurement is in the handout entitled MeasurementBasics . Carefully read the document, take Cornell notes, and work through the examples given to review these important points. Review these notes on measurement a little bit each day in the future.
