LARN 016 C4D4
Start the following in class:
1. Find out what a Frayer word map is and looks like by clicking on https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ft9hAr_RjiMm8xUWljMU0tWjQ . Then construct a Frayer word map for the word “substance”. Also construct another Frayer chart for each of these terms: compound, mixture, element, and suspension.
2. Write your journal entry on sheets of three holed 8.5 inch by 11 inch ruled paper in your Journal Log book. The required focus question, J16, for today is :
What are the relationships among the terms substance, formula unit, element, and compound? To clearly distinguish each of the four terms from one another, construct four paragraphs, one for each term. For suggestions on how to construct such paragraphs, see the supplementary information at the bottom of this web page.
Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:
1. Read and reflect on the handout entitled Lesson – the Scientific Method. The handout is at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ft9hAr_RjiMU01cXlHcWM4aE0 and at MNSD Google Drive > Student Resources > Handouts > LARN 008 > ScientificMethodsNotes. Study the material explained in the handout and then have a member of your family or a study buddy ask you the questions printed in the margins. Then take a look at some of the features of “poor” scientific practice: http://www.compoundchem.com/2014/04/02/a-rough-guide-to-spotting-bad-science/ .
Supplementary Information:
A paragraph structure that might be helpful is:
Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence,
follow with explained instances, and
close with a focused summary statement.
Another useful format to help assure that a helpful paragraph has been written is:
[Full sentence statement of your main point.]
Then describe three reasons, examples, observations, facts, evidence, … that support your main point, saying something like: First …. Second ….Third ….
Finally close by summarizing by saying something like Therefore …; Therefore because …; Thus …, For these reasons …, In summary … ; or In conclusion …. ]
