Presentation Transcript

  1. Introductions (who) • Mr Sandoy • 3 Degrees: BS physical science, MS IT systems management, MS applied military history • Retired Army officer (2000) • You: • Chem Study Buddy: • fill out, turn one in

  2. Why Chemistry • Graduate SME HS • Need 3 Lab Science credits • KS Regents Curriculum • Need CM1 or PH1 • College • Most degrees require College CM1 or PH1 • College CM1= High School CM1 + CM2 • OR Twice as much, half the time, less help • Career • Health Care = College CM1 + CM2 • Engineering or Chemistry • Note DNA/medicine revolution

  3. What predicts Success? College • #1= Math Skills • HS Calculus • Conversions (mile-ft etc) • #2=Effort • #3= Prior Knowledge • Note: professors don’t do 1 or 2; but do #3 • *Survey of 20,000 students & another survey of every physics/ chemistry professor in KS High School • #1 Effort/Attend • IA students get As • #2 Math Skills • Alg2 preferred • Text written for Alg2 • Avg stdt in ALG2/PC • #3 Prior Knowledge • PS can help if struggling • PS can hinder if lazy

  4. Success 0910 Hard Test 10 • A: 3 • B: 17 • C: 11 • D: 2 • F: 6 • FF: 5 Normal Test 13/14 • A: 4 • B: 15 • C: 14 • D: 7 • F: 2 2nd Semester • A: 4 • B: 20 • C: 13 • D: 5

  5. What Predicts Test Failure? Effort to learn < Desire for grade • Harder test questions not attempted • In class or homework on these not done • E.G. calculating excess reagent • Easy test questions missed • In class or homework on these seen as busywork • E.g. mol- mol conversion • Not listening or using work time in class • Talking, texting etc • Waiting to learn it all from your tutor

  6. How is SME Chemistry different? • College text • concepts • Source of • Chem 1 • Knowledge • Skills from • practice • Concepts from text • 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q

  7. SME Chem1 difference • More taught during course • - Can be better prep for college • But reinforcing sections of text not taught, treated as redundant - e.g. chapter 9, much of chapter 12/17 • Some students may comprehend less • College text • concepts • Skills from • practice • Concepts from text

  8. SME Chem1 difference • 2nd semester labs summarize unit • - Links theory to reality • But can be too complex - must tie together entire chapter and master new lab techniques • Some students may comprehend less • College text • concepts • Skills from • practice • Concepts from text

  9. How to adjust? • More taught • Less reinforcement • Complex labs • College text • concepts #1: Master knowledge, not just enough to do well on the test - You will use knowledge later, with limited review #2:Get help early, if you struggle (students, teacher, tutor) - Chapters 5, 8, and 10 on are much harder. If you wait to get help you will probably never recover - There are plenty of additional worksheets to do #3: Do the worksheets, they are repetitious - So are drills in any sport, practice makes perfect #4: Read the labs before you do them, in 2nd semester they are too complex to comprehend if you just show up and do them - If you understand the 2nd semester labs, you have learned • Skills from • practice • Concepts from text

  10. So What are Class Goals • Learn life skills (effort) • Prepare, try, finish, cooperate, be considerate… • Prepare for college (math) • Work chemistry math problems • Apply dimensional analysis/conversions • Learn basic Chemistry (knowledge) • Apply theory in word problems & labs • Relate theory to real world BE SAFE

  11. Rules “do the right thing” I dismiss; no throw; use near restroom • Prepare…e.g. on time, ready for quiz/ work • “Fortune favors the prepared” • Try…………………e.g. be here, work most tasks • “Half of life is just showing up” • Finish……e.g. complete tasks on own, extra effort • “Winners never quit … copiers fail tests” • Cooperate ………….…e.g. allow teaching,be safe, • “Silence is golden” • “You can hear a lot just by listening” • Be considerate……e.g. allow learning, helpful, neat, discrete: “Do unto others…” Stay in seat, 2/table,less A Lose restroom, pass, longer wait for all Take answer key, no keys

  12. How- Discipline • Cell Phones • 1= No purse/ • bag on table • 2= Suspect = warn • 3= See/hear= office referral • Tardy • 1= warn ; 2= call home • 3= 15min t detention • 4= 30 min t detention • 5= office referral • Disrupt • 1= warn • 2= hall, talk • 3= move • 4= hall, call home, 15 min detention • 5= hall, 30 min detention, • 6= office referral

  13. knowledge more reps= more skill How-Grades Semester=18% final + Qtr grades • 50% Tests ………………… no notes, ~1 page guide • Test/final grade is minimum grade, if ~all work done • More time case by case basis • 10% Daily Quizzes……… open notes • ~12 questions from work/labs; even or odd by seat • 15% Work • 5%: in class, 5% homework, 5% on task/ listening • Must show work > correct; late 50%, > 2-30 days late 10% • 25% Labs • Lab report + safety; insight >> accuracy >> completion • Extra creditscored at 5 problems= 1 regular problem • Exceptional job … early work … neat ..more/harder problems Can make up @ 50% before/ after school for 30 days Neatness counts For detailed progress report, provide e mail address

  14. Test Quiz Grading Criteria • 1. Algebra problem(5 point) • 5= apply concept, fully correct, work shown • 4= know concept, minor error (sf, units calc …), work shown • 3= general understanding, 1 conceptual error, work shown • 2= some understanding of concept, 2+ concept errors, plausible answer with work shown • 1-2= correct, no work shown (2=easy) • 1= show effort, facts set up; 0=else • 2. Short Answer(3 points) • 3= correct • 2= general understanding of concept • 1= some understanding of concept; 0= else • 3. Simple one step problem or mc/tf(2 points) • 2= correct, 1= minor error, 0= else • +1= exceptional answer, +2 exceptional and unique answer

  15. Homework & In Class Grading • 9 = max, times weight, generally one point per question • 10 … E (in day early) or + (100%) • 9 …. 90%; 8 …. 80% etc • 5 ….. Late (correct), OR NS (not stapled) • 3 ….. SW (show work for 2+ step problems) • 1 ….. TL (too late) • 0 … not turned in • Extra credit (XC) = 1pt/5 problems • Late Work • Write absent, date work due, reason absence excused • Note, not required to make up quiz/ most labs

  16. When (Normal Schedule) • Questions 0-5 min • Quiz 10-15 min • Less test, review, short day… • Demo/Lesson1 5-15 min • Group Practice 1 (#) 5-15 min • In class/homework 1 10-30 min • Activity 2 20-45 • Bright & diligent finish in class • Conclusion 1 min

  17. EASIER: w some review Solve: scientific method Matter: describe Measure*: precision/error, 10+2=10, 20*22=400 Atom: structure/ mass Electrons**: quantum Periodic table: element trends* Ionic Bonds: Salt: Na+Cl-; Memorize name/ formula** Covalent Bonds**: sugar, 3d sketch/ models *= New, not in PS; **=Hard HARDER: almost all new Mole(#)**: conversions, 1st hard lab Reactions: balance chemical equation Stoichiometry**: calculate product etc Energy*:math/graphs States/Gases*: fractions, hard lab Aqueous/Solutions*: conversions Equilibrium**: much college chem 2 Acid/Base*: 1st Semester 2nd Semester

  18. Conclusion • Today HW: • ReadSafety Handout • Sign Safety Contract (Test) • Wednesday • Quiz + Math/Physical Science Pretest • Thursday/Friday • Textbooks; CuCl2 lab • Monday: • H2O2 Lab; Chapter 1 ends
