When: WAY TOO EARLY Tuesdays and Thursdays
Where: Here
Why: …

2. A little more about me

3. A little more about you…

4. Syllabus

5. A few… cautions STUDY!!! Tardiness
Cell phones, PDAs, MP3s, technology in general
Follow along in class

7. Some comments from past students…
“Give more time to take the test or make it easier to finish on time.”
“Tests are too long”
“Tests are too long!”
“The tests were too long. Most of the time, not even half of the class was able to finish”
“…gave a TON of work in the class. Took too much time to do it all”

8. Some comments from past students…
“The homework was too long and is not worth a lot of points. Also, the tests are too long…”
“The exams are a little too long and I often felt rushed and made careless errors due to the length of the exams”
“I felt like I spent too much time doing homework and not studying for the tests. I was overwhelmed by the amount of homework, quizzes and test and I never felt I had enough time to do tests”

9. Some more comments from past students…
“…it was easy to reach him. He was always willing to give us extra help on the subject.”
“He created an environment for learning versus just a lecture…”
“…tries his best to help everyone understand the material, and even goes the extra length to meet on his own time.”
“…went above and beyond to help his students learn chemistry.”
I appreciate the extra work Mike put in for the class. It’s nice to have an instructor that wants all of the students to pass and learn the material.”

10. Some more comments from past students…
“…and cares if his students do well. Mike is always available for help.”
“Just the right amount of work was given out and the tests were not too long”
“The instructor was very concerned with making sure that everyone knows what to do…”
“He always encourages students to ask him questions… He helps outside of class giving extra materials to work on out of his time.”
My personal favorite…
“I hate chemistry, but this semester actually didn’t suck!”

34. Uncertainty All about uncertainty
ALL measurements have some uncertainty
between 11.5 and 12 cm
about cm
about 11.7 or 11.8 cm

35. Uncertainty
Time’s up!!
5:02
5:01
5:00

36. Uncertainty All about uncertainty
ALL measurements have some uncertainty
about 11.8 cm

37. Uncertainty All about uncertainty
ALL measurements have some uncertainty

38. Uncertainty Exact numbers: Examples:
1 foot =
1 kilometer =
1 mile =
24 hours =
Have NO uncertainty because these numbers are DEFINED
Will never affect “significant figures”

39. Uncertainty Counted numbers: Examples Also have no uncertainty
I have 11 fingers
there are 11 dogs
Also have no uncertainty
Will never affect “significant figures”

40. Uncertainty Measured number ALWAYS have some uncertainty to them
Examples
I live 6 and a half miles away
I drink 1.5 liters of water a day
This bench is…
ALWAYS have some uncertainty to them
Will always affect “significant figures”

41. Uncertainty and Measurements
State the digits you can be sure of!
Guess the next digit! (and only the next digit)
I KNOW it is between 11 cm and 12 cm
measurement:
11.8 cm
graduations (marks): 1 cm
uncertainty: ± 0.1 cm

42. Uncertainty and Measurements
State the digits you can be sure of!
Guess the next digit! (and only the next digit)
I KNOW it is between 11.8 cm and 11.9 cm
measurement:
11.84 cm
graduations (marks): 0.1 cm
uncertainty: ± 0.01 cm

Guess the next digit! (and only the next digit)
between 500 cm and 600 cm
measurement:
520 cm
graduations (marks): 100 cm
uncertainty: ± 10 cm

44. Uncertainty and Measurements
If your instrument has an uncertainty of ± 0.01 mL, your measurement will end with or .09
If your instrument has an uncertainty of ± 0.2 g, your measurement will end with , or .8
If your instrument has an uncertainty of ± cm, your measurement will end with or .005

d) 0.75 cm e) cm

47. 11.84 cm Significant Figures 4 significant figures
Significant figures tell you about the uncertainty in a measurement.
Significant figures include all CERTAIN (known) digits, and ONE UNCERTAIN (guessed) digit

4 significant figures

48. 520 cm Significant Figures 2 significant figures
Significant figures include all CERTAIN (known) digits, and ONE UNCERTAIN (guessed) digit
520 cm
2 significant figures

#1) If there IS a decimal point in the number:
Start at right of number and count until the LAST non-zero digit
