CHAPTER ONE: THE SCIENCE OF

CHEMISTRY

Syllabus Bomb bags Lab safety

Day One

Syllabus HIGHLIGHTS!!! Expectations

Be Prepared NO FOOD OR DRINK IN THIS

CLASSROOM EVER!!! How do I get a good grade? Hall Passes Absences

Lab Manuals MUST HAVE A SPIRAL BOUND

NOTEBOOK Labs

Completed with a partner but must be a collaborative effort

Each partner is responsible to have the data before they leave the room

Lab write-ups ○ Completed usually the day after a lab and

completed by each individual and treated as a QUIZ!!!

Lab Safety Contract Must be turned in with PARENT

SIGNATURE AND YOUR SIGNATURE BY TUESDAY SEPT. 1st OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM ANY LABS UNTIL IT IS IN!!!!

Starting the year off with a BANG!!! What’s in a Bomb Bag?

Follow the directions in the lab manual Each group is responsible for their “set” of

chemicals and equipment ○ Everything must be returned in the same

condition that you received it!!! ○ Wipe down your area with a WET paper towel

YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY MUST WEAR GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES!!!!

Quiz lab safety Chemical Change Lab

Physical properties

Day Five Wednesday

Properties and Changes(∆) of Matter Chemicals

Any substance with a definite composition

Your daily life is filled with chemical reactions Process by which on substance or more

substances change to produce one or more DIFFERENT substances

Kinetic Molecular Theory (Physical States of Matter) Matter:

Anything that has mass and takes up space

Three Phases Solid Liquid Gas

Solid Liquid

Gas

1. Arrangement2. Movement

3. Volume

Properties of Matter (Physical & Chemical) Physical Properties

Determined without changing the nature of the substance ○ Density, color, hardness

Chemical Properties Indicates how a substance reacts with

something else

Lecture Chemical vs. Physical

Day SixThursday

∆ of Matter Physical vs. Chemical ∆ Physical Changes

Identity of the substance does not change

Things to LOOK FOR!! ○ ∆ in states of matter○ ∆ in appearance

∆ of Matter Physical vs. Chemical ∆ Chemical Changes

Identity of substance DOES change

Things to Look For!!Evolution of a gas Formation of a precipitate Release or absorption of energy Color Change

Physical and Chemical Changes Lab

Day Seven

Classification Activity Day Eight

Classification Activity You must have FIVE CATEGORIES

based on similarities and differences

Pure vs. Mixture Pure Substances

Matter that has a definite chemical and physical properties

Chemically combined Example: Compounds and Elements

Mixtures A combination of 2 or more substance NOT

chemically combined

Metric notes

Day Eleven

Metric System Group of units used to make any kind of

measurements

Best known for its simpleness Why is it so simple?

Used all around the world with scientists

Metric System(Common BASE Units) Length

Mass

Volume

But how do we get to other units and what are they called?

Quiz: MetricDensity

Day Fifteen

Discovering Density Lab

Day Sixteen

Discovering Density What is Density?

Does everything have a density and is it the same?

Discovering Density Lab 1. You will obtain 4 samples

3. Reading Graduate Cylinders!!!

12. DRY ALL SAMPLES BEFORE PLACING THEM BACK INTO THE CONTAINER!!!

** Before you start you must read the lab and write a data table in your lab notebook and have it checked by me!!!!!
