2. CHEMISTRY = Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them

3. Studying science requires that one be a good observer. observationinference involves a judgment or assumption uses the five senses Observations

5. Data Observations are also called data. There are two types of data. qualitative dataquantitative data descriptions; measurements; no numbersmust have numbers and UNITS

6. How good are the measurements? Scientists use two word to describe how good the measurements are- Accuracy- how close the measurement is to the actual value. Precision- how well can the measurement be repeated.

7. Differences Accuracy can be true of an individual measurement or the average of several. Precision requires several measurements before anything can be said about it.

8. PRECISION VERSUS ACCURACY Problem : Identify if the following figures are either accurate or precise or both: A._________ B._________ C.__________ D._________ A ? Both A & P Only Precise Neither A/P

9. In terms of measurement Three students measure the room to be 10.2 m, 10.3 m and 10.4 m across. Were they precise? Were they accurate?

10. Data Must be organized Can be organized into charts, tables, or graphs

11. Line Graph shows continuous change Stock Price over Time

12. Elements of a “good” line graph axes labeled, with units use the available space title neat

13. How to read a graph Interpolate - read between data points What volume would the gas occupy at a temperature of 150 K? Extrapolate - read data beyond data points What volume would the gas occupy at a temperature of 260 K? Which do you have more confidence in? Why? (independent variable) (dependent variable) 7 L ~4 L

14. Line Graph Mass (g) Age (Year of Penny) Mass (g) Age (Year of Penny) Mass (g) Age (Year of Penny) Mass (g) Age (Year of Penny) How does the mass of a penny change with age? A B C D

15. Hypothesis A suggested solution to the problem. Must be testable Sometimes written as If…Then… statements Predicts an outcome

16. Scientific Law vs. Scientific Theory Law of Gravity A theory tries to explain why or how something happens. A law states what happens. Theory of Gravity Atomic Theory Collision Theory of Reactions

17. Significant Figures Numbers in science are used to measure Measurements can only be taken to the least precise level of the measuring device

20. Rounding rules Look at the number behind the one you’re rounding. If it is 0 to 4 don’t change it. If it is 5 to 9 make it one bigger. Round 45.462 to four sig figs. to three sig figs. to two sig figs. to one sig figs. 45.46 45.5 45 50

21. Watch the Sig Figs When rounding, you don’t change the size of the number. You should end up with a number about the same size (magnitude). Use place holders- they’re not significant. – Round 15253 to 3 sig figs – Round 0.028965 to 3 sig figs 15300 0.0290

23. # of sig figs in the answer is based on the # sig figs in least precise measurement. Which is the least precise? 7.22m or7.22555 m Significant Figures Calculating with Sig Figs

24. Significant Figures Calculating with Sig Figs – Add/Subtract - The # with the lowest decimal value determines the place of the last sig fig in the answer. (This is the measurement that is the LEAST precise) 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL 224 g + 130 g 354 g  7.9 mL  350 g 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL 224 g + 130 g 354 g Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem

25. Significant Figures Calculating with Sig Figs – Multiply/Divide - The # with the fewest sig figs determines the # of sig figs in the answer. (This is the measurement that is the LEAST precise) (13.91g/cm 3 )(23.3cm 3 ) = 324.103g 324 g 4 SF3 SF Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem

31. The Metric System The units of measurement in science are from the metric system. The three most common are mass (grams), volume (liters), and length (meters) The metric system utilizes these base units then adds prefixes to indicate values increasing or decreasing by a factor of 10.
