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 J91 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, J91, for today is:
  1.  In writing chemical expressions, what symbols are used to separate reactants or products, to separate reactants from products, and to denote the actual phases of reactant and product substances?
  2.  Describe at least seven symbols used in writing chemical expressions and explain their meanings.
  3. Describe what the coefficients written in front of chemical formulas occurring in balanced chemical expressions signify. Give an example.
  4. Compare what the coefficients written in front of chemical formulas occurring in balanced chemical expressions signify to what subscripts sometimes found within chemical formulas signify. Give an example to make your point clear.

2.a. Use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare study guide for text section 11.2 on Types of Chemical Reactions or go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 11.2 of your text.   Read section 11.2 in your chemistry text, pages 330 through 335, and as you do, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class and on the distributed handout packet.

2.b. Then read section 11.2 in your chemistry text, pages 336 through 339, and as you do, add to your section 11.2 study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class and on the distributed handout packet.  For section 11.2, take notes not only on Classifying Reactions and on Predicting the Products of a Chemical Reaction, but also detailed notes on Figure 11.10 [summary of five types of chemical reactions] on pages 338-339 of your text.

2.c. 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 11.4 on page 331 and then show your work including tallies of all atoms occurring in the initial and final states for practice problems I11-13 (In chapter 11, problem 13) and I11-14.
  • Study Conceptual Problem 11.5 on page 332 and then show your work including tallies of all atoms occurring in the initial and final states for practice problem I11-15 (In chapter 11, problem 15) and do practice problem I11-16.
  • Study Conceptual Problem 11.6 on page 334 and then show your work including tallies of all atoms occurring in the initial and final states for practice problem I11-17abc (In chapter 11, problem 17abc).
  • Study Conceptual Problem 11.7 on page 335 and then show your work including tallies of all atoms occurring in the initial and final states for practice problems I11-18ab (In chapter 11, problem 18ab) and I11-19ab.
  • Study Conceptual Problem 11.8 on page 337 and then show your work including tallies of all atoms occurring in the initial and final states for practice problems I11-20ab (In chapter 11, problem 20ab) and I11-21.
  • In the Section Assessment 11.2 on page 339, read, analyze, and do practice problems I11-22, I11-23, I11-25abcd, I11-27 and show your work including tallies of all atoms occurring in the initial and final states for practice problems I11-24abcd, and I11-26abcd.
  • After you are finished, check page R91 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.

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

1.  If you have not already done so, make arrangements for daily computer internet access at home, at the public library, or before or after school or during study hall in the school library. Obtain the Following Required Materials for Chemistry:

1. One three ring loose leaf binder for size 8.5 by 11 inch three hole punched paper; make sure the binder rings are three or more inches diameter. This loose-leaf binder will be used just for chemistry, is not spiral bound, and is to be brought to class every day.   Please use a permanent marker to mark your name on the outside of your binder.

2. Packs of three hole punched paper to fit the above mentioned loose leaf notebook; 300 to 400 sheets of paper are recommended.

3. A set of five divider tabs for the above three ring notebook so that you can flip to different sections of your notebook quickly during and out of class. The five categories of records you will need for class are

1. Goals and Tables,
2. Handouts
3. Class Notes, Section Reviews, and Formative Tests, Learning Log, Journal Notebook
4. Laboratory Activities, and  Laboratory Notebook,
5. Project(s).

     Please label the five divider tabs with either those titles, or shortened versions or abbreviations for them.  For example, you might choose to simply write Goals on the tab for the first tabbed section of your notebook.

4. A three hole, grommeted zipper pencil case which is to be brought to class each day in the three ring binder.  High quality versions of the product are available at some dollar stores.
Also needed and to be stored inside the grommeted zipper pencil case:

a.  A five function calculator – nothing fancy!  You can find one at the dollar store that is a so called five function calculator which can handle addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and square roots.
b.  Writing instruments, erasers, and ear bud headphones:

• A pack of pens with blue or black ink for your use throughout the year.
• About four to six pens with dark green ball point pen ink (light green ink, marker green inks, and fluorescent green inks are not acceptable). The dark green ink pens are used to show the corrections that you yourself have make to your own work.
• A few pens with dark purple ink for your use in placing emphasis on certain portions of your work.  You are not to use red or pink ink as a substitute. The dark purple ink pens are used to show the in class corrections that you make on another student’s paper as you part of your assignments.

• A few highlighter pens that have different colored inks.
• A few number 2 hardness lead pencils and erasers for use in testing.

c.   To transport data home or from one computer to another get one USB flash drive of at least 8 gibibyte (GiB) currently retailing for less than $8 is needed.  Please use a permanent marker to mark your name on your flash drive so that it can be returned to you if you leave it behind in class.
d.  One pair of earbud style headphones with a 3.5 mm (1/8 “) connector, best purchased for $1 at a dollar store.

5. Five (5) three hole punched spiral bound  notebooks each having about 70 pages and having no dividers, and with three of them labeled with your name and a title on the outside with permanent marker. One notebook is to be titled “Learning Log” in which you can record our learning objectives, study guides, and class notes log. A second notebook is to be titled “Journal Notebook” for recording your progress in analyzing and responding to problems posed.   A third notebook is to be titled “Laboratory Investigations” for recording information pertaining to  laboratory investigations [instead of using scraps of paper]. The notebooks can be kept in your 3-ring binder. The third and fourth notebooks are to continue a titled notebook that runs more than 70 pages; you most probably will need them but if you don’t use them this year, you can use them in the future.

6. Grocery bag paper for keeping your textbook and laboratory manual covered at all times. (Book socks or heavy vinyl plastic are also acceptable.) Please use a permanent marker to label the outside of your book cover’s front and spine with the course name and your name.

7. Arrange for access to a computer and the internet.  You will need to use a computer and internet for this course.  You will be assigned one to use in class and at any help classes to which you attend and will need to use another computer for homework assignments.

• To use the district’s computer and internet facilities during the school year, each year you must renew your agreement regarding the use of the school district’s Communications and Information Systems.  Turn in the agreement signed by you and your parent(s) or guardian(s) on the first day of school, or soon thereafter, to the librarian so that your privilege of using the district computers and network continues.
• Please try to arrange for some access to a computer with an internet connection at home with an installed office suite.  At present district computers in the high school have the Microsoft Office suite of programs installed which is a costly and proprietary suite, and which for our purposes is no better than the LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice suites that are free, high quality, open source software that can read and write documents stored at school in the *.docx Microsoft format.  (Please do not save chemistry documents in the internationally accepted standard *.odt format which older versions of Microsoft Office cannot read.) These office suites can be downloaded from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ and www.openoffice.org/.

• If you do not have access to a computer with an internet connection at home, you can use one of the computer’s in the school library which is generally open during study halls, before school, and after school until about 3:45 PM.
• To assure your ability to go to the library during study hall, remember that you need to sign up online as soon as possible but, at the latest, before 7:00 AM of the day you wish to go.   In the past the library has often been open from 7:00 AM to about 3:45 PM Monday through Thursday.  On Fridays after school, when there are faculty meetings, and when the library is being used for special activities, the school library is closed.  So frequently check with the librarian for the current and planned school library hours during the year.
