1.1 1.2 1.3 Period 1 Group 10
Microscopic and Macroscopic • Macroscopic-a mix of components to form a main picture. • Microscopic-individual components.
Give an example of something microscopic and explain how it is microscopic. • A cell because it is a small part of something whole.
Importance of Learning Chemistry • Produces new materials and makes life easier and safer. • Produces new sources of energy that are abundant and nonpolluting.
Give two examples of how chemistry is apparent in everyday life. • It produces new materials, and new sources of energy that are abundant and nonpolluting.
Scientific Method • Make observations • Formulate hypotheses • Perform experiments
How does the scientific method help you learn chemistry? • The scientific method helps you analyze and learn about an experiment.
Theory, Observation, and Law • Theory is a set of tested hypotheses that gives an overall explanation of some part of nature. • Observations are not theories. • An observation is something that is witnessed and can be recorded. • Law tells what happens.
How is a theory different from a law or observation? • A theory is a set of tested hypotheses that gives an overall explanation of some part of nature while an observation is something that can be witnessed and recorded. A law tells what happens.
Strategies for Learning Chemistry • Read textbook • Hands-on mini-labs • Lab experiments • Team learning worksheets • Classwork/homework • Teacher guided learning
Why would pure memorization not be helpful in chemistry? • Chemistry consists of studying concepts and applying them.
Quiz! • How are microscopic and macroscopic things different? • Give one example of how chemistry could negatively impact your life and one example of how chemistry could benefit your life. • What are the parts of scientific method?
Quiz cont. • What is a natural law? Give an example of one. • What are some ways you can study for chemistry?
Answers • Macroscopic things are a mix of components that form a main picture while microscopic are the individual components. • Chemistry can help us make medicine, but it can also pollute the environment. • Make an observation, formulate a hypothesis, and perform an experiment.
Answers cont. • A natural law is a summary of observed behavior. An example would be the Law of Conservation of Matter. • Read the textbook, hands-on mini-labs, lab experiments, practice/classwork/homework, team-learning worksheets, teacher guided-learning, and active reading questions.
