  • Videos: Accident at Jefferson High and Measurements
  • Labs: What is this Stuff? Lab, Matter Activity, Candle Lab, Density Lab, Metric Inquiry Lab
  • Book Assignment 1:
    • Matter: Read from Modern Chemistry textbook pp. 5-24, briefly outline Ch. 1 into your spiral notebook, include diagram on p.15. Do the problems about matter on p. 26 #13, 19-24, Chapter 1 answers
  • Book assignment 2 -
    • Brief outline of Ch.2 pp.29-41 [define all bold face terms], into your spiral notebook, make the entries into your Spiral Notebook Table of Contents (remember to number the pages - just number the front of the pages)
    • when you have time for more practice work on Set 1: Problems on p. 59, #7-13 Answers to Chapter 2
    • In your spiral notebook, make the entries into your Spiral Notebook in theTable of Contents (remember to number the pages - just number the front of the pages).
    • Make your own personal reference pages on separate notebook paper for your reference section of your 3 ring binder:
      • (1) from p. 34 Table 2-1, copy the first 4 columns but not the defined standards - just l, m, t, T, n.
      • (2) Table 2-2 SI Prefixes, copy only the first 4 columns for just k, d, c, m, u, n, p. 35
      • (3) Table 2-3 p. 36
  • Book assignment 3 - Math:
    • In Spiral lecture notebook define vocabulary words on p.25, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 Finish outlining Ch. 2.

  • Book assignment 4 Graphing:
    • Plot graph from data on p. 56 1/V v.s. P. Pressure should be on the y axis. This should be a straight line. On the previous assignment, I will show you in class how to calculate % error and density problems.
  • Worksheets: Safety, Computer Day 1, Units of Measurements packet, and Significant Figures Packet
