Presentation Transcript

  1. Catalyst • How many times last semester did you feel like you were working hard and still not succeeding? It happens to everyone • How do you study? Give specifics • If you don’t study often, why don’t you study often? If you do study often, do you think you study effectively? • How do you plan out your schedule for a week? • On the strip of colored paper, write your favorite reason why you do not study.

  2. Write Out Your Favorite Excuse Not to practice

  3. Get it/Do It Gap

  4. Practice Doesn’t Stop Once you Are Good

  5. Practicing is not… • Staring at your notes • Doing your homework • Writing your lab reports • Sleeping with your notebook under you pillow • Reading the textbook

  6. Practice Means Get Cooking! • Focus your Practice - Don’t just study for the sake of studying. Give studying an objective with a criteria for success. • Practice the good, the bad, and the ugly • Cook it, taste it, cook it, taste it, repeat! Get in the kitchen! • Identify the conceptual component and the kinetic component. Relate each to your culinary example! • Find a study partner(s). Coordinate. What’s your plan?

  7. How to get in the kitchen • The kitchen is your work zone. Carve out an exact amount of time and a comfortable setting. • Outline a specific objective that you would like to accomplish during your practice • Don’t say “I’m going to study”. • Instead say “I will be able to calculate ΔS from ΔH and I will be able to get 8 out of 10 problems correct”

  8. Identify Skills Complete activities that integrate these skill with other skills Cook and re-cook until comfy

  9. How to Practice/Study • Cook specific skills using worksheets, problem sets, etc. • Re-cook problems that were covered in class • Do as many problems as possible! • Go over problems that you did incorrectly, analyze the mistakes you made • Summarize complex topics from your notes. Re-write portions of your notes • Make flashcards of terms/ideas • Create a concept map of ideas from the entire unit, entire quarter, or entire year! • Do practice FRQ Problems (only if you are confident on the skills we have learned!)

  10. Cooking Partners

  11. Quick Share Out • Get to know your partners strengths and weaknesses by quickly answering the following questions: • 1. What parts of studying/cooking do you think you are really good at? • 2. What parts of studying/cooking do you think you need to improve the most at? • 3. What was the hardest part of an AP or Honors class you took last semester? • 4. My practice partner can help me be a better AP Chemistry student by __________________________________. • 5. Mr. Astor is the most incredible person alive because: ________________________.

  12. Let’s Make a Plan

  13. This year – consume knowledge

  14. Thought for food • This AP class won’t be like your others. Everything we do will be through the lens of a chef. • You will learn about what’s really in your food, why you love it, how we grow it, make it, pack it, store it. Learn why onions make us cry, how does lime “cook” food, how do induction cookers work, is it ok to irradiate food, how do microwaves work, and so much more Where ideas are brought to simmer…*

  15. What I did – what you will do

  16. Closing Time • Have all supplies by Thursday/Friday • Complete Pre-lab for Lab 0. MUST BE DONE BEFORE CLASS Monday • Quiz on Ch. 1 on Thursday/Friday • Answer to homework posted online under “Unit 0”
