1 Welcome to Chemistry Mrs. Algier
Do Now: Write down 1-3 things that you know or have heard about Chemistry

2 YWBAT State our 4 class expectations Define Chemistry
HINT: You will need to know these for your Exit Sheet!

3 Class Expectations Be Safe Be Respectful Be Responsible
Follow district policies & procedures (Refer to separate Class Expectations Handout)

4 What is Chemistry? Study of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes.

5 What is Matter? Anything that has mass and occupies space.

6 Matter Book Desk Person Rock Water Air
Non-Matter Time Sound Memories Gravity Sunlight Heat

7 Course Overview Chemistry as Central Science
Electrons & Structure of Atoms Bonding & Interactions Reactions Kinetic Theory Mole & Quantifying Matter Matter & Energy Carbon Chemistry

8 Why is Chemistry Important?
Understand world around you Make informed decisions Prepare for a career A Day Without Chemistry

9 Activity – Part 1

10 Chemistry Mrs. Algier Do Now: Write down 2-3 things that you want me to know about you

11 YWBAT Identify 5 traditional areas of study in Chemistry
Identify 4 steps in the Scientific Method Identify the location and function of safety items in the classroom

12 The Central Science

13 Traditional Areas of Study in Chemistry
Organic Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Biochemistry Analytical Chemistry Physical Chemistry

14 Organic Chemistry Study of chemicals that contain carbon
Examples include fuels, plastics, perfumes, pharmaceuticals

15 Inorganic Chemistry Study of chemicals that do not contain carbon
Examples include metals, minerals, electronics

16 Biochemistry Study of processes that take place in living organisms. Examples include digestion and muscle contraction.

17 Analytical Chemistry Study of the composition of matter

18 Physical Chemistry Studies the mechanism, rate, and energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes a change

19 Careers that use Chemistry
Research Engineering Medicine Environmental Manufacturing Management Teaching Law Safety

20 Activity – Part 2

21 Scientific Method Logical, systematic approach to the solution of a scientific problem.

22 Scientific Method Logical, systematic approach to the solution of a scientific problem Observation Hypothesis Experiment Conclusion

23 Observation Uses your senses May lead to a question

24 Scientific Method Vocabulary
Hypothesis: proposed explanation for an observation Experiment: procedure used to test a hypothesis Independent Variable: variable that you change during an experiment Dependent Variable: variable that is observed during the experiment

25 Mythbusters

26 Scientific Method Big Bang Theory

27 Testing Hypotheses For the results of an experiment to be accepted, the experiment must produce the same result no matter how many times it is repeated, or by whom. This is why scientitst are expected to publish a description of their procedures along with their results.

28 Testing Hypotheses Sometimes the experiment a scientist must perform to test a hypothesis is difficult or impossible. For example, atoms and molecules, which are some of the smallest units of matter, cannot be easily seen. A model is a representation of an object or event. Chemists use models to study chemical reactions and processes.

29 Developing Theories Once a hypothesis meets the test of repeated experimentation, it may be raised to a higher level of ideas. It may become a theory. A theory is a well-tested explanation for a broad set of observations.

30 Scientific Laws Scientific Law – concise statement that summarizes the results of many observations and experiments.

31 End of Chapter 1
