__Analysis of the properties of matter lab__ **9/25**

Three things are required for the anaylsis

1. For each test we did, list the substances that had a positive test. The tests we did were flammability, conductivity, reaction with acid, reaction with base, soluble in water, soluble in paint thinner, and conducts electricity when dissolved.

2. Organize the chemicals based on the properties they have in common. Are there substances tested that share 3 or more properties? If so, group them together.

3. Future work: what are two additional tests you could do to give more information about the chemicals tested in the experiment.

Wed Sept 23
__Properties of Matter Lab__ **9/25**

Start organizing your data now for the analysis questions. Make lists of each chemical that tested positive for each of the tests that we did. For example, list all the substances that were flammable and all the substances that were not flammable. Do this for each test done in the lab. We will do the conductivity tests tomorrow as a class.

Tue Sept 1
__Chemistry Around Us__ **9/4 Chemistry Around Us** Chemistry and the scientific method start by making observations of the world around us. These observations lead to questions that the chemist would like to have answered. Once these questions have been asked, the chemist predicts, or hypothesizes, an explanation of her or his observations. Then the chemist goes to the lab and experiments to either confirm or exclude the hypothesis. This process of observation, question, hypothesis, and experimentation is the generic process for any scientific study. Your assignment is to make observations of the world around you and come up with questions about your observations. Here are a couple of examples to give a little guidance:

Observation: A nuclear power plant provides electricity. Question: How does a nuclear power plant generate electricity?

Observation: Salt is added to the roads during the winter to help with traction. Question: Why is salt added to the roads during the winter months?

Since this is a chemistry course, try to come up with questions that probably have a chemical answer. (“Why is the sky blue” is a good question, but the answer is found in physics and not chemistry).

Your assignment is to find four sets of observations and questions about the world around you that could possibly be answered with chemistry. Be creative, the questions can be as big as how a power plant works to as practical as why salt is used on icy roads.
