LARN 114 C29D2

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 red marginal line, print J114.
  • The required focus topics, J114, for today are:

a.  Explain why gases are so easily compressed in contradistinction to liquids and solids.

b.  Cite an example of a situation in which gases are used in a compressed state.   Please make your answer to this question longer than one sentence.

c.  Cite another example of a situation in which gases are used in a compressed state.  Please make your answer to this question longer than one sentence.

2. a. Use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare study guide for text section 14.1 on The Properties of Gases or go to https://socratic.org/chemistry  to research the topics brought up in section 14.1 of your text.  Read section 14.1 in your chemistry text, pages 412 through 417, 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 14 vocabulary list that was distributed 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.

In the Section Assessment 14.1 on page 417, read, analyze, and explain practice problems I14-1 (In chapter 14, problem 1) and I14-2, I14-3, I14-4, and show your work including all comparison ratios for practice problems I14-5,and I14-6.

After you have written your best effort response for each assigned item, check page R94 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.

3. Log on to the ChemThink web site http://simbucket.com/chemthinkserver/chemthink/ to do the tutorial and question set on Ionic Bonding.

    1. Choose menu selections:  Assignments > Behavior of Gases Tutorial.  [If you are logged onto the ChemThink web site, you do this by clicking on the green triangle in the white circle to the right of the displayed module’s name. If you were taken directly to a web page with an orange Tutorial button and a blue Problem Set button, click on the orange Tutorial button.]
    2. If you do not have a copy of the worksheet that goes with this module, click on the provided link to the ChemThink worksheet for this module or, if that doesn’t work, locate it in the Student Resources > Handouts > ChemThink Formative Assessment Note Sheets folder. Download the worksheet, and print off a copy.
    3. Place your hand in number and name in ink in the upper right corner of the worksheet.
    4. Now work your way through the online tutorial.  You will have to answer each problem correctly to advance to the following page. FYI: When there are check boxes given before possible correct responses in either the tutorial or the problem set, more than one response may be correct, so carefully consider each response before submitting your answers.
    5. Record a response to each question asked on the four pages of the worksheet.
    6. Then choose the menu selections:  Assignments > Behavior of Gases  Question Set to formatively assess the understanding that you have built up by doing the Tutorial.  Try to do each problem in the Problem Set correctly during your first attempt at working your way through the problem set.  If you get a problem wrong, focus on understanding why each problem in the question set is answered in the way that it is.   Your goal is eventually to have a deep enough understanding to score 10 out of 10. If you did not attain that level of understanding the first time through, review some more, and do the problem set again until you have mastered the content with a 10 out of 10 score.
    7. Place the four pages of the worksheet in the Notes section of your 3 ring binder and bring it to class.

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

1. Download and 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 14 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 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 5 through 7.  

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 the Behavior of Gases after clicking on the following link: States of Matter & Intermolecular Forces_Including Gases.  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.]

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, and chapter 13 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. Review the SI prefixes and their meanings until you can readily explain the meaning of each listed SI prefix as a numerical multiplier.
