LARN 077 C20D1

Start the following in class:

1. 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 J77 and circle it.
  • 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 day’s paragraph with a topic sentence, follow with explained instances, and close with a focused summary statement.
  • The required journal focus topic J77 for today is:
  1. Compare and contrast the law of definite proportions and the law of multiple proportions.
  2. Which law refers only to one compound?
  3. Which law compares the variable amount of a second element combined with a fixed amount of a different element present in two or more compounds?

2.  Do all the pages in the chapter 9 Formative Test on Scientific Measurement 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 section review 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.  When you open the chapter formative test the first page will have the words “Chapter Test A” in the title.
  • For each question or problem challenge, 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 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 formative test, 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 through) and inserting improved text in green ink when you think the suggested response expresses your present understanding in a better way.    In that way 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.

3. a. Do the Bonding and Types of Bonding Review Sheets.  These review sheets are contained in your chapter 7 [sic] informational packet.

3.b. 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 9 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 9 learning objective with the aim of being able to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply the learnings.   If you judge that you need further assistance you might open this chapter’s flipchart in the ActivInspire software program.  Then study and review the concepts explained in the ActivInspire flipcharts until you are sure that you understand all the concepts listed.

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

  1. Examine this chapter’s learning objectives, one by one.  Are you able to demonstrate your understanding or mastery of each of this chapter’s learning objectives?  How do you know you can?  What has formative assessment of each objective informed you about?
  2. Review and study your notes, and your journal reflections. Study your learning log, your Cornell Notes, and anything that was misunderstood on the Chapter 7 Study Guides, Chapter 8 Section Reviews, Chapter 8 Covalent Bonding [Formative] Test A, Chapter 9 Section Reviews, Chapter 9 Chemical Names and Formulas [Formative] Test A and other work sheets which you now have checked using green ink. Look up anything that you still don’t understand in your text, glossary, vocabulary study sheets, class notes, or come to help class if you need help.
  3. Continue studying both the schema for naming cations, the schema for naming anions, and the schema for naming compounds on the document entitled Inorganic Nomenclature.
  4. Review the meanings of the words on the chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3, chapter 4, chapter 5, chapter 6, chapter 7, chapter 8 , and chapter 9 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.
  5. Check out the student made Quizlet for chapter 9 at https://quizlet.com/178902510/ch-9-chemical-names-and-formulas-flash-cards/.  Do all the definitions reflect a thorough and correct understanding?
  6. Review the Key Concepts given on pages 33, 57, 95, 121, 148, 180, 206, 246, and 280 of the text.
  7. Study the SI prefixes and their mathematical meanings until you can readily explain the meaning of each listed SI prefix as a numerical multiplier. Go over each of these concepts with your study partner.
  8. Review the concepts of substance, element, atom, compound, formula unit, phase, coarse mixture, colloidal suspension, solution, aqueous phase, chemical change [as different from a physical change], chemical reaction, reactant, product, word equation, and formula unit equation. Go over each of these concepts with your study partner.
  9. Review the differences in the properties of metals, ionic compounds, covalent network solids, and covalent molecular compounds listed on the Properties to be understood worksheet.  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. Review 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.  Record any questions about anything that you do not understand so that you can eventually get clarification from a classmate or your teacher.
