LARN 018 C5D2

Please recall and adhere to these established procedures: The purpose of reading our chemistry text and taking some notes is to learn about chemistry, not to bury oneself in details, nor to get credit for doing an activity.  The PQ5R or SQ5R technique for reading expository literature that has been taught is designed to help you to read informational literature more quickly by finding a single point of focus to concentrate on while reading.  The note taking techniques that we have studied are to equip you with the tools of note taking for you to increase your comprehension and to record and review the big ideas on your own, not to weigh you down with a whole lot of note taking!  Reading informational literature for the main idea needs to be done regardless of the format used.   When the assignment says use the PQ5R or SQ5R method, if it helps you more to focus on understanding and reflecting on the content,...

LARN 016 C4D4

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...
