Start the following in class:

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 10 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.  Write down the essential questions for Unit 6 Chemical Quantities in your Learning Log.  Consider each chapter 10 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, study and take Cornell notes on objectives 3 through 14.  

2.a.  Use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare study guide for text section 10.1 on The Mole: A Measurement of Matter or go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 10.1 of your text.   Read section 10.1 in your chemistry text, pages 286 through 296, 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 10 vocabulary list as you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake.

2.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.

  • Study Conceptual Problem 10.1 on page 289 and then show your work including all conversion ratios for practice problems I10-1 (In chapter 10, problem 1) and I10-2.
  • If you need a refresher or assistance in writing conversion ratios and showing your work, please read through pages R66 and R67 and study how the conversion factors were selected, and set up so that the units in the problem divided out to yield the units of the sought for quantity.
  • Note how the work shown completely explains how the six problems given on page R66 are solved.
  • Study Conceptual Problem 10.2 on page 291 and then show your work including all conversion ratios for practice problems I10-3 (In chapter 10, problem 1) and I10-4.
  • Study Conceptual Problem 10.3 on page 292 and then show your work including all conversion ratios for practice problems I10-5 (In chapter 10, problem 1) and I10-6.
  • Study Conceptual Problem 10.4 on page 296 and then show your work including all conversion ratios for practice problems I10-7 (In chapter 10, problem 1) and I10-8.
  • In the Section Assessment 10.1 on page 296, read, analyze, and show your work including all conversion ratios for practice problems I10-9, I10-10, I10-11, I10-12, I10-13, I10-14, and I10-15.

After you are finished, check page R90 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 with that of your classmates when you come to class.

3.  In your Journal Notebook 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, use a blue or black pen to write your hand in number within a circle followed by your name.
  • To the left of the marginal line, print J79 and circle it.
  • The required journal focus topic, J79, for today is:

A mole is a measure of the amount of substance that contains the same number of items as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12 x 10-3 kilograms of carbon-12.   

a. How does one find the mass of a mole of any given element?  Write a thorough response of two or more sentences written in good penmanship. [Hint: You need to use a table of relative atomic masses such as those given on periodic charts.]

b. What is the mass of a mole of carbon?  Express your answer properly in grams, g.

c. What is the the mass of a mole of neon?  Express your answer properly in grams, g.

d. What is the the mass of a mole of magnesium?  Express your answer properly in grams, g.

e. What is the the mass of a mole of calcium?  Express your answer properly in grams, g.

f. What is the the mass of a mole of iron?  Express your answer properly in grams, g.

g. What is the the mass of a mole of hydrogen atoms?  Express your answer properly in grams, g.

h. In general, how can the mass of one mole of any element be determined?  Write a thorough response of one or more sentences written in good penmanship.

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

1.   Download current ActivInspire unit flipchart by logging on to the MNSD Google Drive and selecting it from the Student Resources > ActivInspire  folder.  Generally the flipchart name will begin with a capital U to designate the chemistry unit of study and end in a relatively high version number following the v at the end of the flipchart’s title.  Download the flipchart on chemical quantities after clicking on the following link: Chemical Quantities .  Click through the chart quickly and take Cornell notes on concepts pertaining to the learning objectives that you are studying.  At the end of your study, write a summary statement of what you learned.

[If you have not yet successfully installed ActivInspire software, use  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ft9hAr_RjiR0pqTUpHb3QyMm8  to download and install the latest version of ActivInspire free personal edition software on your home PC, Mac, or Linux computer.]

2. Read over your Honors Chemistry Topics review sheet packet for the first semester.   [If you do not have a copy, the review packet can be printed to the library printer. You can find it on your Google Drive > Student Resources > Handouts > LARN 82.]

  • Are you able to demonstrate your understanding or mastery of each of the topics listed?  How do you know you can? 
  • Are you able to do each type of calculation listed?
  • What has formative assessment of each topic informed you of?
