How will you learn Chemistry? (part 1) Attend Lecture! Provides a “big picture” How do we think about “science”? How do we solve a problem? Interact! Demonstrations and small groups. I expect and encourage questions. Participation expected through clickers. Write! Draw pictures Accept the invitation in your email!!!

Demonstrations Predict Observe Explain

Predict, Observe, Explain

Hindenburg, disaster, 1937

Everybody Writes 1 The containers to the right all have different argon samples at the same temperature. Select the sample with the highest pressure OR state that all pressures are equal. Explain. 2 Container 1 and 2 each contain equal numbers of particles of ideal helium and neon gas, respectively, both at the same temperature and volume. How do the pressures compare? Explain. Took me 2 minutes to do – need to speed it up or reduce the amount of content on each slide. Possibly omit question 2!
