1 1 Instructor: Office: Phone: Lecture Hours: Tues/Thurs :50 a.m. Office Hours: REQUIRED COURSE INFORMATION Course Materials: Your choice of safety goggles with side shields Textbooks: Conceptual Chemistry by John Suchocki Explorations in Conceptual Chemistry, A Student Activity Manual by Jeffrey Paradis Grade Determination: Homework Pre-Activity Problem Sets Post-Activity Problem Sets Lab Reports Midterms 200 Final Examination 200 Total Final grades are assigned based on total points accumulated. Students earning similar point totals will receive similar letter grades. Steps for Success: 1) Read relevant sections in the text before the lecture on the material. That way, the lecture will have context, and you can ask questions as they arise. 2) After reading the section, do the example and practice problems at the end. The more problems you do, the better prepared you will be. 3) Seek help when you need it hints for on-line homework, office hours, and study groups are all great resources! 4) When you have finished reading the chapter, go through the Chapter in Review section. Make sure you know all the meanings of the Key Terms you may want to draw a concept map to give yourself a visual picture of how the terms are related. Suggested Additional Practice Problems (not to be turned in): Chapter 1: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49 Chapter 2: 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 41, 45, 47, 51, 55, 61, 65, 67, 69, 71, 79, 81, 85 Chapter 3: 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 19, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 63, 65, 67, 69, 75 Chapter 4: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 31, 33, 35, 39, 37, 41, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 57, 59, 61, 67, 69, 95 Chapter 6: 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 49, 51, 53, 55, 61, 65, 67, 69, 71, 75

Points will be deducted from late homework assignments (10%/day). Students whose documented disability prevents them from using this program should make separate arrangements with me. Lab: Lab attendance is mandatory. Completion of the laboratory portion of the course is mandatory in order for a student to receive credit for the course. Pre-activity problems sets are due in lab the day of the experiment. Experiments should be completed on time, and lab reports and post-activity problem sets are due at the beginning of the next lab period. Using remaining lab time to complete the lab reports and post-activity problem sets the day of is strongly encouraged. Points will be deducted from late assignments (10%/day). No grade is assigned in lab. The total number of points is carried over to the lecture, and the lecture instructor assigns grades. The lecture instructor reserves the right to adjust student laboratory points to a common average in order to compensate for variation in lab instructor point assignment. Students who miss an experiment should consult with their lab instructor immediately upon their return to class, if not earlier. If a valid excuse is discussed with the instructor, the student may be allowed to complete an alternative assignment. The pre-activity and post-activity problem sets should be done and handed in late. If the absence is not excused, zero points will be assigned for the experiment. A maximum of one absence can be excused for the quarter. Safety goggles with side shields are required whenever experimental work is being conducted. You are responsible for purchasing your own goggles. You may wish to store them in your laboratory locker so you won t forget them. You are expected to follow the laboratory safety rules discussed during lab check-in at all times throughout the quarter. Exams: Examinations must be taken as scheduled. If for some reason beyond your control you cannot take an exam on time, please contact me and present an excused absence upon return to class. An unexcused missed exam will receive a failing grade.

Students should be able to demonstrate broad science content knowledge in the physical sciences such as the nature and structure of matter, Earth s place in the Universe, or the conservation of energy and matter. 2. Students should be able to demonstrate the application of quantitative skills (such as statistics, mathematics and the interpretation of numerical graphical data) to physical science problems. 3. Students should be able to demonstrate a general understanding of the nature of science, the methods applied in scientific investigations, and the value of those methods in developing a

6 6 rigorous understanding of the physical world. Students should be able to identify the difference between science and other fields of knowledge. Students should be able to distinguish science from pseudoscience. Science Laboratory Students should be able to demonstrate hands-on skills applying the specialized methods and tools of scientific inquiry (such as collecting, analyzing, and interpreting the data, presenting the findings, and using the information to answer questions).
