2. Objectives and Agenda  Course Overview Objectives  Know how the units of the course for the year are organized  Know how the course will be evaluated  Know how the class time and activities will generally proceed  Know the behavioral expectations for the course and the corresponding consequences, including how absences are handled.  Agenda  Review syllabus  Chemistry Pretest  Learning models and Chemistry overview (if time allows)

3. Today’s Assignment  What’s Due? (Pending assignments to complete.)  Syllabus Verification, signed by you and a parent/guardian due by Aug 22.  What’s Next? (How to prepare for the next day)  http://wolgemuthe.psd401.net/chemistry/images/LabEquipment.gif Refer to this image of laboratory equipment to familiarize yourself with what each piece of equipment looks like. We will have a scavenger hunt for these kinds of items on Monday. http://wolgemuthe.psd401.net/chemistry/images/LabEquipment.gif

4. The Learning Curve How we Learn Don’t knowKnow Think2) Can identify what you don’t know Scanning provides this information Uncomfortable or exciting Ready to learn Goal setting 3) Know it when you think about it Educated Practice helps 2  3 Requires work/energy Use it or lose it Pride of accomplishment Don’t think1) You don’t know what you don’t know Ignorance is bliss 4) Know it, even if you don’t think about it Mastery Like riding a bike, or reading Hard to unlearn or forget Changes who you are (even physically)

5. What you know or can do alone You with help The great unknown What all humankind knows or can do The Reach

6. Understanding Chemistry  Chemistry is the scientific study of matter, its properties, and its behavior.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izeuGr0lbN0 Intro to chemistry video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izeuGr0lbN0  Conceptual levels  Macroscopic  Atomic / Submicroscopic  Theoretical  Communication methods  Symbols  Names  Measurements / Math  When studying chemistry, keep in mind what type of understanding is involved.

7. Macroscopic Everything around you, including you, consists of chemicals Observable and measurable. Laws are statements that summarize what we have observed. Ex: Law of Conservation of Mass

8. Atomic Fundamental material nature of everything. Not easily observable, but can be observed using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope Usually think about conceptually, based on theories.

9. Theoretical  Theories are ideas that help us explain why things happen at the atomic or macroscopic scale and predict future possible observations.  Ex: Atomic Theory Ex: Quantum Mechanics Ex: Theory of relativity  More or less well founded, but always falsifiable and open to reinterpretation  These three theories are so well founded that they are considered nearly factual.

10. Symbolic Different letter(s) represent different atoms Combinations of letters represent compounds and/or molecules SAME SYMBOLS REFER TO BOTH MACROSCOPIC AND ATOMIC SCALES Au NaHCO 3 CH 3 COOH

11. Names Common Names: Baking SodaVinegar Chemical Nomenclature: Sodium bicarbonateAcetic Acid

12. Mathematical  Using math to measure quantities and describe relationships  Macroscopic quantities can be measured  Atomic quantities can be calculated  Theoretical relationships between quantities can be modeled with equations and algebraic formulas
