Do Now!!! Have your signed safety contracts and syllabi out on your desk. Prepare to take your safety quiz! L. Bernard, 2016
2
Introduction to Chemistry
Chapter 1 L. Bernard, 2016
3
What is chemistry? L. Bernard, 2016
4
Chemistry is… The study of matter and the changes matter undergoes
Affects every aspect of life L. Bernard, 2016
5
Earth and Space Science
Natural Science Physical Science Earth and Space Science Life Science Physics Chemistry Geology Astronomy Botany Zoology Meteorology Oceanography Ecology Genetics L. Bernard, 2016
6
What is matter? Anything that has mass and occupies space!
L. Bernard, 2016
7
Are chemicals matter? A chemical is any substance that takes part in a chemical reaction or is the product of a chemical reaction Since they all have mass and volume, all chemicals are matter! L. Bernard, 2016
8
Remember! Matter cannot be created nor destroyed!
The Law of Conservation of Mass We can’t create something out of nothing L. Bernard, 2016
9
Five Areas of Study Organic Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry
The study of chemistry containing carbon Inorganic Chemistry The study of chemistry that does NOT contain carbon L. Bernard, 2016
10
Five Areas of Study Biochemistry Analytical Chemistry
The study of chemistry within living organisms Analytical Chemistry The study of the composition of matter Physical Chemistry The study of the energy in chemical reactions L. Bernard, 2016
11
L. Bernard, 2016
12
Pure vs Applied Pure chemists research the fundamentals of chemistry
Pursuit knowledge of chemistry just because L. Bernard, 2016
13
Pure vs Applied Applied chemists research chemistry to answer a specific question Pursuit knowledge of chemistry to solve a problem L. Bernard, 2016
14
Why even study chemistry?
L. Bernard, 2016
15
What types of careers are there that involve chemistry?
L. Bernard, 2016
16
Jobs that need Chemistry!
Cosmetologist Doctor/Nurse/Physician Environmentalist Forensic Scientist Astronaut Farmer/Agriculturalist Hair Colorist Food Scientist Lifeguard Paint Mixer Pharmacist Toxicologist Professor L. Bernard, 2016
17
DO NOW! Place the following steps of the scientific method into the graphic organizer below.
Design Experiment Scientific Theory Hypothesis Not Supported Hypothesis Supported Observations Results New Experiment Hypothesis Collect Data Create New Hypothesis L. Bernard, 2016
18
The Scientific Method L. Bernard, 2016
19
The Scientific Method is…
A systematic approach to solving scientific problems In other words, a list of steps that help us when we are experimenting in the lab L. Bernard, 2016
20
The Scientific Method Use your observation to make a hypothesis
L. Bernard, 2016
21
The Scientific Method Design an experiment to test that specific hypothesis Independent Variable-the variable that is changed; manipulated variable Dependent Variable- the variable that is observed; responding variable L. Bernard, 2016
22
The Scientific Method After experimenting, evaluate your results
Was your hypothesis supported? Do you need to perform more trials? How can you revise your hypothesis? What improvements could be made? L. Bernard, 2016
23
The Penny Drop How many drops of water will fit on the top of a penny?
Use the scientific method graphic organizer to create your own experiment regarding this question: How many drops of water will fit on the top of a penny? What other criteria could affect how many drops of water fit on the penny? L. Bernard, 2016
24
Do Now! Try to identify the pieces of lab equipment in front of you.
What are their functions and purposes? L. Bernard, 2016
25
Setting Up Your Lab Notebook
Table of Contents on first page Number each page! Experiment #, Lab Title, Page # L. Bernard, 2016
26
Setting Up Your Lab Notebook
Title and Date List your lab partners Describe the lab List materials Give brief summary of procedures Pre-Lab questions and hypothesis Data table and diagrams Obsesrvations Post-lab questions Conclusion What did you learn? Why did we do this lab? How could this lab be improved? Reflect on the experience! L. Bernard, 2016
27
Do Now! Using the data below create what you believe is a proper graph
Year Number of Accidents 2010 3 2011 1 2012 5 2013 4 2014 9 2015 L. Bernard, 2016
28
Problem Solving in Chemistry
Chapter 1.4 L. Bernard, 2016
29
Effective Problem Solving
Develop a plan Implement that plan L. Bernard, 2016
30
Solving Numeric Problems
Analyze What do you know? What do you not know? What can you do to find what you do not know? Calculate Conversions or equations L. Bernard, 2016
31
Solving Numeric Problems
Evaluate Does your answer make sense? Did you use the correct equations? Was the data copied correctly? Where there any errors that you made? Are your units correct? L. Bernard, 2016
32
Solving Non-numeric Problems
Analyze, then solve! No numbers mean no calculations You still need to determine what you know and don’t know, then develop a plan Apply concepts to the problem L. Bernard, 2016
33
Presenting your Data Numerical Data Non-Numerical Data Tables Graphs
T-Charts Venn-diagrams L. Bernard, 2016
34
How do I draw a proper graph?
L. Bernard, 2016
