5. Three Big Topics
Stoichiometry: information on “what” happens; allows us to determine amounts of reactants and products.
Thermodynamics: information on “why” reactions happen; allows us to make predictions about whether a reaction will occur.
Kinetics: information on “how” reactions happen (mechanisms); relates to the speed of reactions.

6. Three Big Themes Content: specific topics in chemistry.
Models: a way of explaining the phenomena we observe; theories. Understand significance and limitations.
Problem Solving: be able to solve novel problems in a creative and flexible way using conceptual understanding of fundamental ideas; Challenge Problems in the text are good for this.

7. Problem Solving: A Journey
Where Are We Going?: What are we trying to solve? What does this mean?
Where Have We Been?: What do we know? What is given in the problem, and what is our knowledge base?
How Do We Get There?: How do we connect what we know to what we are trying to solve? Diagrams and more questions can be useful.
