This document provides instructions and assignments for a chemistry class. It includes a checklist of assignments with due dates, instructions for an in-class quick write assessment, notes on extra credit opportunities, corrections to a crossword puzzle, and directions for completing power notes on measurements and dealing with data. Students are asked to have materials ready, log into an online system, and work on completing their power notes during class. Homework includes finishing any past due assignments and completing the power notes by the following Tuesday.

3. Quick Writes will not be grade for points
but for participation and honesty.
1. You are allowed to use your brain, any
notes, labs or worksheets we have
done in class.
2. You may not use your textbook or
interactive reader.
3. You will have 8 minutes to complete as
many questions as possible.
4. With a colored pencil, you will grade
your own.

4. You have been offered an opportunity to
complete extra credit.
It is never mandatory to complete but
please remember at the end of the
quarter, I:
1) Do not round your % grade
2) Do not offer extra credit projects to
raise your grade.

5. There are 4 corrections to make on your
crossword:
Front Diagram
- On 2 across add one box
Back Page
- #4 clue= parameters, things…….
- #15 clue = “showing”
- Word Bank – Linear should be
Linear Direct

Measurement & Data

8. In order to communicate effectively scientists around
the world need to speak the same math language. This
is the acceptable measurement system in chemistry.
This system is known as SI, short for the French term
“Systeme Interantional d’unites”. This system is the
metric system and works in multiple of 10.
Are added to the base unit (gram, meter, liter)
CHANGE THE SIZE of the base measurement
Is called ABSOLUTE ZERO. This is the temperature at
which particles would actually stop moving. A type of
matter known as BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATES or
BEC’s, have been cooled to this state.
Kelvin and Celsius are the temperature units we will
use in chemistry. To convert Celsius to Kelvin you just
ADD 274.15 to whatever Celsius temperature you
measure.

9. Concerned with measurements which
analyze amounts (quantities) of matter.
There is no such thing as a “perfect”
measurement. This is due to the accuracy
and precision of the person making the
measurements

Limitations
always exist in
science

10. A measurement that is CORRECT
A measurement that is the same every time it is taken;
precise measurements can be reproduced but is not exact.
significant figures is the number of digits believed to be
correct by the person doing the measuring. We will round
to the nearest 100th
this year.
Accuracy

Estimation Digit

11. TOOL Used to Measure Unit Label
Graduated Cylinder volume mL
Beaker volume mL
Flask volume mL
Meter Stick volume cm3
Meter Stick distance, length m

Analysis of Data -We will be using computer models,
charts and
-Graphs

12. A factor in an experiment that can be tested
or changed to affect the outcome of the
experiment
Variable

13. The factor the experimenter decides to change or
controls; the cause of something; input
The factor that changes because of the independent
variable; effect; output

Label your graph
outline:

14. = both change in the same direction; produces a
graph with an upward trend
eg: a time increases the distance of the car travels also
increases
Identifying Patterns:
DIRECT relationship
between variables
Indirect or Inverse
relationship between
variables
=one variable increases while the other decreases;
produces a graph with a downward trend
eg: as the pressure increases the size of the balloon
decreased
