Students will be evaluated upon their comprehension and application skills of the gas laws that include Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, Gay-Lussac’s law, and the Combined Gas law.
They will be given a number of various situations to determine one of the different variables that plays a key role in each law, and these variables include temperature, pressure, and volume while keeping the amonut of gas fixed at all times.
Students are to practice upon the application of the combined gas law by solving problem #’s: 8, 9, and 10 on page 450, if they have not finished them in class. ALSO, they are to do problem #’s: 56 through 60 on page 468 for Monday, May 21, 2012.
NOTE THAT WE WILL BE HAVING A SUMMATIVE EVALUATION ON THE GAS LAWS ON TUESDAY, MAY 22, 2012.
Students will solve the remaining one or two problems on Gay-Lussac’s law.
We will discuss and reinforce the combined gas law through the variables of pressure, volume, and temperature as the amount of the gas used remains fixed. Students will do problem #’s: 8 and 9 on page 984.
As a final review of the gas laws, students are to do problem #’s: 56-60 on page 468.
As a class assignment, students will reinforce the process of energy transfer among organisms by answering a set of series questions that will include their critical thinking skills as well as analyze a food web that is based upon given factors or variables.
Students are to practice upon the application of Gay-Lussac’s law by solving problem #’s: 8, 9, & 10 on page 448. For the students who feel that they need to practice further, they can do problem #’s: 5 & 6 on page 984.
After students finishing defining the main concepts on energy transfer, they are to think about a series of fifteen organisms that can have interdependent relationships to survive in an environment as their energies are passed through an ecosystem, thereby creating a food web through a series of food chains. The students will put the food web together in class on Thursday as a summative evaluation.
We will review and correct the homework assignment on the ecology of organisms as well as do an active reading passage on said topic as a reinforcement. If time permits, we will prepare for tomorrow the new concepts and ideas on energy transfer that centers on food chains and food webs, which we will be discussing and elaborating upon the next couple of days.
Students are to reinforce their comprehension and application skills by solving the remaining problems on page 446, #’s: 4, 5, 6 and 7. Furthermore, students are to do problem #’s: 3 and 4 on page 984.
We will discuss and reinforce the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment and give several examples upon them. Furthermore, we will describe the two mechanisms that allow organisms to survive in a changing environment that help them to evolve into their own niches.
Students are to reinforce Boyle’s law by practicing on problem #’s: 1 and 2 page 984, section 13.1.
