LARN 032 C8D4
Start the following in class:
1. The required journal focus question J32 for today is:
How do mixtures of different types of atoms (for example, zinc and sulfur atoms, differ from a compound composed of those atoms (for example, zinc sulfide)? [Hint: Examine Figure 4.2 on page 102 in the text.]
2.a. Go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 4.1 of your text, OR use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare study guides for text section 4.1 on Defining the Atom. Read section 4.1 in your chemistry text, pages 100 through 103, and as you do, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class. You may record vocabulary entries in the body of your study guide, or you may check them off on the chapter 4 vocabulary list as you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake.
2.b. If necessary, review the instructions for doing in-chapter formative assessment problems given below. For Section Assessment 4.1 on page 103, do problem I4-4, read, and analyze practice problem I4-6, but determine the range of radii of atoms, given in the text above the problem on p. 103 in meters, in picometers rather than nanometers; and do problem I4-7. Show conversion ratio setups for the practice problems I4-6 and I4-7. After you have finished, check (√) or a correct each problem that you can on page R84 of the text or circle the number of the question in the margin of your notebook for those problems not listed on page R84 that you need to check when you come to class.
2.c. Go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 4.2 of your text, OR use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare study guides for the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare a study guides for text section 4.2 on Structure of the Nuclear Atom. Read section 4.2 in your chemistry text, pages 104 through 108, and as you do, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class. You may record vocabulary entries in the body of your study guide, or you may check them off on the chapter 4 vocabulary list as you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake.
2.d. 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. For Section Assessment 4.2 on page 108, read, analyze, and write out the answer to practice problem I4-10. Then do I4-11 up to and including I4-14. 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 to 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. After you have finished, check (√) or a correct each problem that you can on page R84 of the text or circle the number of the question in the margin of your notebook for those problems not listed on page R84 that you need to check when you come to class.
Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:
1. Take Cornell notes on the Atomic Structure online handout and then study those notes.
2. Review of instructions for doing in-chapter formative assessment problems:
After reading each section of a textbook chapter, 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 Study Guide [chapter #.section#] or 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 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.
- 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]. When you have finished responding to the formative assessment questions and problems, check the appropriate page 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 paper and check your response when you come to class.
