First Day, Safety, CALM Intro, Matter Classification.

W:
Day One:
-Asians, Asian Americans, Americans, Reading and Answering Questions. Discuss writing utensil procedure. Working on discussion procedure.
-Why I teach Chemistry. (human health, we all take care of others, understanding the universe)
-Working on filling out a notecard (information). (First and Last Name, phone numbers, favorite science activity, one question for me, on back what is your lifetime ambition)
-Expectations powerpoint.
-Safety video and questions.
-Assignment: Get a composition notebook by Friday (Put name on it keep it in class, see summer school for divisions). Observations, vocabulary, Notes, Practice Problems, Reflection.

Computer Lab: F
Goal: classify matter, acquaint with CALM, go over safety sheet, finish CALM paper.
First Day in Computer Lab
1.) Beginning of school survey.
2.) CALM setup and work two problems correctly. calm.indiana.edu High School Login.
3.) Create an email address that is appropriate for professional purposes. gmail or yahoo.
4.) Sign up for Chemistry on edmodo.com
-Go to edmodo.com
-Insert the code abt323 as our class code.
-Under settings, sign up for notifications as Text Message.
5.) Done? Work CALM Problems.
6.) Done with CALM? Explore Nobel Prize Chemistry Games.
Come back to class to start vocabulary discussion.

T: SWBAT classify substances as pure or mixtures, if pure (element or compound) if mixtures heterogenous or homogeneous.
MEMORIZE FIRST TWO COLUMNS: ALKALINE METALS, ALKALINE EARTH METALS.
Vocabulary: mass, volume, extensive property, intensive property, physical property, chemical property, substance, mixture, heterogenous mixture, homogeneous mixture, solution, element, compound. Classify cards as elements, compounds, homogeneous mixtures, heterogeneous mixtures.
1.) Element brief discussion and learning symbols. (Capital first and if second letter, it is lower case)
Vocabulary Discussion: Heterogenous, Homogenous, Element, Compound, Solution, Physical Change, Chemical Change.
2.) Classification of matter start using a diagram of pure vs. impure then.
-Cards of a Variety of Materials and classification.
-Ingredient Label and classification: do one together then do one on your own. List all ingredients and classify the ingredients with rationale as to why you classified it this way.
3.) Video for Matter Properties and Changes. (17 min)
4.) CALM Matter Classification Problems.

R: Goal: distinguish between intensive and extensive properties.
1.) Vocabulary: Intensive Properties, Extensive Properties. Notes on the two.
2.) Lab Activity Intensive and Extensive Properties.
3.) Inductive Reasoning Activity: Boiling, Burning, Melting, Corroding, Breaking Apart, Rusting, Evaporating, Freezing, Changing Color, Decomposing.
4.) Vocabulary: Chemical vs. Physical Properties and Changes.
5.) Physical vs. Chemical: Simon Says "Stand if _______ is intensive, stand if _________ is extensive, Stand if __________________is physical Stand if ___________________ is chemical. "
MEMORIZE LAST TWO COLUMNS: HALOGENS AND NOBLE GASES.

M: Test: Classifying Matter, Properties and Changes, Vocabulary to this point.
Moving Forward: Sig Figs, Dimensional Analysis.
