Start the following in class:
1. Do the Chapter 5 Section Reviews handout as a formative assessment, and by not looking up answers, make it possible to find out what you do and do not understand when the suggested responses key is later checked in class. Do not skip any question, nor any part of a question.
[For each question or problem challenge, to the best of your ability either record your response to the question using one or more full sentences, or record your response to the problem. For a problem, record any numbers and units together with the mathematical operations performed in symbolic terms, along with the solution to the problem, which should be circled.]
- After doing the section review packet, but before you demonstrate your understanding on our class’ chapter test, you will check all your responses using green ink check marks √ for each correct response, and by lining out (striking trough) and inserting improved text in green ink when you think the suggested response expresses your present understanding in a better way. Then, when you know what you didn’t understand, you will be able to study more efficiently by studying that which you corrected in green ink.
- If you are not sure of the correctness of your response, write down what you evaluate to be the difficulty and ask about it in class at the proper time. If necessary, arrange to get help.
2. Doing ChemThink interactives are part of the core experiences for all chemistry students.
- Log onto the ChemThink web site http://simbucket.com/chemthinkserver/chemthink/ to do the tutorial and question set on Ions.
- Choose menu selections: Ions. [If you are logged onto the ChemThink web site, you do this by clicking on the green triangle in the white circle to the right of the displayed module’s name. If you were taken directly to a web page with an orange Tutorial button and a blue Problem Set button, click on the orange Tutorial button.]
- Click on the Tutorial button. Do the Ions Tutorial and take Cornell notes on anything that stumps you during your attempts at working through each page of the online tutorial. Focus on understanding why the correct answer to each problem posed is what it is. Your goal is to have a deep enough understanding to to advance to the following page. If you do not attain that level of understanding, review some more, analyze some more, and try again until you succeed.
- If you do not have a copy of the worksheet that goes with this module, click on the provided link to the ChemThink worksheet for the Ions module or, if that doesn’t work, locate it in the Student Resources > Handouts > ChemThink Formative Assessment Note Sheets folder. Download the worksheet, and print off a copy.
- Place your hand in number and name in ink in the upper right corner of the worksheet.
- Record a response to each question asked on the worksheet.
- Click on the Problem Set button. Try to do each problem in the Problem Set correctly during your first attempt at working your way through the problem set. If you get a problem wrong, focus on understanding why each problem posed is answered in the way that it is. Take Cornell notes on anything that temporarily stumped you. Your goal is eventually to have a deep enough understanding to score a 10 out of 10. If you did not attain that level of understanding the first time through, review some more, and do the problem set again until you have mastered the content with a 10 out of 10 score.
- Summarize the main ideas of the ChemThink in your Cornell Notes and then place the Cornell Notes and worksheet in the Notes section of your 3 ring binder, and bring it to class.
Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:
1. For optional journal entry J42 , you are to construct a concept map. Please turn to page 148 in your text and, in your learning journal, construct a concept map relating the seven terms listed at the bottom of the page. Connect related terms with arrows such that the subject of each sentence explaining the relationship is at the tail of the arrow, the verb describing the relationship of the subject to the predicate is written beside the arrow, and the arrow head is touching the oval of the term which is the object or predicate nominative of the verb that you have chosen.
