Chemistry Review

Preparing for your open-notebook test

Step 1: Organizing your papers. Scientst.wmf (13180 bytes)

Using the sheet I gave you a couple of weeks ago to make sure that all of your papers are in the correct sections of your notebook.

In each section, put all similar things together. For example, in your classwork section, you could put all of the papers that have to do with atoms together. Or you could put all of the investigation and observation sheets together.

Step 2: Create a Table of Contents for each section in your notebook.

Number your pages in the bottom right hand corner with your red pen and put these numbers on your table of contents.

Put the title of each worksheet on your table of contents.

Underneath the title of each page, put the type of information you can find on that page.

You can create one Table of Contents that includes all of your sections or you can choose to do one for each section. I think the one big one would be quicker to locate information.

Example:

Classwork

Page Number Title of Page Information on this page

1 Observing the 3 Phase Changes *condensation

*evaporation

*melting

*how to change one phase to another

2 Molecular Attraction Worksheet *meniscus

*average number of drops on a penny and a nickel

Step 3: Highlight key information on each page.

Vocabulary words

The purpose

The findings or conclusion

Step 4: Now that all of your information is organized, it’s time to complete some practice questions.

Practice using your new Table of Contents and your highlighted information to locate the answers to these questions.

Feel free to update your Table of Contents or highlight new information as you go along.

Next to each question, put the page on which you located this information and the section. This may be useful during the test next week.

You have just finished reading all about chemistry in "The Mini Page" from The Washington Post . You read to be informed before we begin our unit. Below are some questions for you to answer. You may have to skim back through the text to locate the answers. Answers do not have to be incomplete sentences.

1. Overall, what does this Mini-Page talk about?

2. According to the Mini-Page, if you were a chemist, what would you do?

3. What type of elements make up the protein in your fingernails and hair?

4. Explain what a symbol is and give 3 examples.

5. Why are atoms important?

6. How does a chemist use the Periodic Table of Elements?

7. How do you know which elements on the Periodic Table are alike?

8. Name 3 non-metals and 3 metals.
