LARN 046 C12D2
Start the following in class:
1.a. Go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 6.1 and 6.2 of your text, OR use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare study guides for the first part of text section 6.1 on Organizing the Elements, pages 154 through 160, and section 6.2 on Classifying the Elements, pages 161 through 167 in your chemistry text, and as you do, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class and on online documents in Google Drive. Or, if it will save you time, write a question for the section, read 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 6 vocabulary list as you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake.
1.b. Writing in blue or black ink, 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 in your learning log 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.
- In the Section Assessment 6.1 on page 160, read, analyze, and show your work for practice problems I6-1(In chapter 6, problem 1), I6-2, I6-3, I6-5, I6-6, and I6-7.
- After you are finished, check page R86 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 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.
2. Write your journal entry on sheets of three holed 8.5 inch by 11 inch ruled paper. In the upper right corner white space of each upward facing page, write your hand in number within a circle followed by your name. 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 days paragraph with a topic sentence, follow with explained instances, and close with a focused summary statement. The required journal focus question J46 for today are
a. The elements on the periodic table are arranged today according to increasing atomic number by placing elements with similar properties into vertical groupings. Why don’t we arrange the elements according to increasing atomic mass?
b. Use examples to clarify each idea that you express in your journal and make sure that you explain how each example demonstrates the concept being considered.
Note: Please label your responses to the questions correctly (a. and b. in the above example) and phrase your response to include enough information so that people reading your response can understand the question being answered. That way you can save time by not writing out the questions being asked.
Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:
1. Open the Unit Learning Objectives for Cornell Notes document, Press and hold the CTRL key while typing F to bring up a search (find) box. Type in Chapter 5 in the search box and then move your cursor into the text area to the right and click there to see the first page of objectives. Consider each chapter 6 learning objective as you proceed through the chapter with the aim of being able to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply the learnings. For now, focus on objectives 3 through 9. Study and take study notes as seems appropriate.
2. Look for periodic trends in a property of single atoms of an element:
a. Review the SI prefixes and their meanings until you can readily explain the meaning of each listed SI prefix as a numerical multiplier.
b. If you have not yet installed LoggerPro software on your PC, Mac, or Linux computer, use https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ft9hAr_RjiczFrSmZHSkptN0E for instructions as to how to download and install the latest site licensed version of LoggerPro3 software on your home PC, Mac, or Linux computer. If you have a Chromebook device, go to the App store and download and install Vernier Graphical Analysis software which can do much of what LoggerPro does.
c. Plot the atomic radius in picometers (pm) vs. atomic number for element with atomic numbers 1 through 20 preferably using LoggerPro, although other applications such as Vernier Graphical Analysis, Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Desmos could be used. Let the vertical axis y be the atomic radius in pm from 0 to 250 pm and the horizontal axis be the atomic number from 1 through 20. Set the plotting program to use open circles as the symbol for each data point and to connect the points that you enter. To choose those settings in LoggerPro click inside the graph window and then go to the menu at the top of the screen and select Options > Graph Option > Appearance, and check the Point Symbols and Connect Points boxes if they have not already been checked. Look up the data on atomic radius using an interactive periodic chart.
c. Insert a text annotation onto your graph containing your first and last names, hand in number, and Honors Chemistry section number. In LoggerPro choose from the top menu Insert > Text or Insert Text Annotation and then place your cursor in the box and add your text.
d. Print off your chart and bring it to class, hole punch the paper, and put it with your class notes in your 3 ring binder.
