Start the following in class:
1. Do all the pages in the chapter 17 Test on Thermochemistry as a formative assessment to find out some of the things that you do and do not know, and not as a research project.
- If you did not obtain a formative test packet for the chapter in class, go to MNSD Google Drive > Student Resources > Formative Tests and print off a copy of the test for the chapter you are studying. Each chapter test is identified by a name whose last two digits is the chapter number. For example, the chcta16.pdf designates the chemistry chapter 16 test “A”. When the chapter formative test is opened, the first page will have the words “Chapter Test A” in the title.
- For each question or problem challenge for which a work space is given, either answer the question to the best of your ability using one or more full sentences, or answer the problem to the best of your ability by recording the numbers and units of measure of what is sought for, of what was given, and of what, if any, conversion or comparison ratios could be used to obtain a correct solution. Circle or box your final result after expressing your result to the proper number of significant figures, followed by the proper unit of measure.
- Each formative test is a real chapter test that some teachers in other schools might use as a chapter test, so after taking the test, make sure that you understand each unfamiliar word, idea, concept, and problem. Be sure to finish this packet in its entirety. After doing the formative assessment, but before you demonstrate your understanding on our class’ chapter summative assessment, you will check all your responses using green ink check marks (√) for each correct response, and by lining out (striking through) and inserting improved text in green ink when you think the suggested response expresses your present understanding in a better way. While doing that, make sure that you understand each idea that you originally did not have a complete understanding of. Then you will be able to study more efficiently by studying that which you corrected in green ink.
2. 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 Thermochemistry. 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.

3. If you have not already have not already word processed your latest laboratory investigation, do so now and be ready to have your report peer edited the next time your class meets.
Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:
1. How do the properties of covalent molecular substances with hydrogen bonding typically differ from those covalent molecular substances that form molecules whose van der Waals attractive forces only weakly attract other molecules?
2. Think about the sixteen properties of covalent molecular substances listed on the Properties to be understood worksheet describing differences in the properties of metals, ionic compounds, covalent network solids, and covalent molecular compounds. Continue to study this handout for understanding and review how the typical properties of members of these classes of compounds depend on whether the compound has localized or delocalized electrons, and upon whether strong metallic, ionic, or covalent bonding or weak van der Waals forces of attraction are predominant between representative particles of the substances. Try to understand how each property of a given covalent molecular substance is related to the groups of covalently bonded atoms that form molecules whose van der Waals attractive forces only weakly attract other molecules.
3. Continue to review the meanings of the words on the chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3, chapter 4, chapter 5, chapter 7, chapter 8, chapter 9, chapter 10, chapter 11, chapter 12, chapter 13, chapter 14, chapter 15, chapter 16, and chapter 17 vocabulary lists. Place a – symbol in front of each word that you have to study more, and a change the- to a + symbol in front when you have demonstrated mastery over the word to a study buddy, parent, or friend.
4. Study the Key Concepts given on pages 33, 57, 95, 121, 148, 180, 206, 246, 280, 314, 346, 378, 406, 438, 464, 498, and 534 of the text.
