We need to make certain that you
intelligent young people are ready to
conquer the technological advances
in course prep for classes beyond
East…
There are not a lot of choices you
will be offered if you
don’t get some
further education…

This could be project plans in construction-Small scale or city planning/ engineering
Factory safety plans
Production and installation of eco friendly
products
Manufacturing and production of new
transportation alternatives
Food distribution and health inspection
Advertisement/ printing and internet
Communication at some level without a doubt

is an issue and budget cuts are the
answers…
You don’t want to be a company ‘Cut’
I want to give you any advantages I can
on my watch to help you be “marketable”
So we will be embarking
into an on-line Unit on
Phase Changes of Matter
The
first
Step of
the
On-line
Unit is
1.Go to
www.chemthink.com
2.Click on ‘NOT
REGISTERED’ Enter your
first and last name.
Then for USERNAME,
enter it again in small letters
with no spaces
̰
3.Enter
a password
THAT YOU WON’T
FORGET….
Or else enter the word
science
4. Sign up in the
appropriate hour with
this code:
1750-7679-3936
We are going to do the
first topic of the program.
1. Select: Particulate Nature
of Matter.
2. Choose the interactive
tutorial. Complete the
worksheet that I made while
you do it.
3. Now go the test. You
must get 10 multiple choice
questions correct before you
get 3 wrong to pass.
This is what the screen looks like once you
are signed in:
Here is the
introduction
unit
The Interactive tutorial means just
that…
No matter how many times you click the arrow
you must do the task first to advance the slide
Fill in the accompanying worksheet, too!
One important tip: DO NOT SUBMIT UNTIL
YOU HAVE ALL BOXES THAT ARE CORRECT
CHECKED. Many of the questions have
multiple answers.
…retake the test until you
pass it. If you do not pass
it in 5 tries, you must
repeat the tutorial. (my
teacher grade book shows
records of your total tries
and total completion of
both the tutorial and the
test.)
I don’t care if you take the test
100 times. You must pass it…
and you must repeat the
tutorial for every 5 failures!
I can call up your class to view
when you completed the tutorial,
when you completed the test and
how many times you tried each
You will be given 15
minutes to get a start
on Chemthink.
It is due in two days.
The last 20 minutes will
be a pre-test to compare
to the post unit
accessment.
The third component of the virtual
Phase Change unit are the on-line
Lessons developed by some students
in accordance with a Master’s Program
The website is: www.wise.berkeley.edu
Go to the
student sign in
Sign on the
first student
of the pair
Notice the code
Write down the USERNAME…
It will not be your usual name!
Click the boxes for both partners:
Activity #1 will begin:
You must complete it all before you begin with #2
You will go through each activity with an assigned partner.
You will work together on one computer.
All written responses will be entered and graded.
We will work on this for three consecutive days starting tomorrow.
Activity #2 has 3 parts to it.
Activity #3 looks like this:
Within #3 there is a lab that will be
done in the classroom:
The fourth step of the
on-line segment
will access laptops
and probes on the fourth
and fifth days
The ‘Snow Lab’ is done in the classroom.
Ice is taken through the 3 phases of water and
students graph and interpret data
To keep this lesson on a computer/technology note
we will be collecting data using
Vernier Probeware + the accompanying lab manual
and plotting it is to be done on portable laptops
in our chemistry room using LoggerPro software.
Rather than plotting collected data on LoggerPro
like we have done in the past, the data will be
plotted by the computer while we are doing the lab!
A hard copy of the graph
will be available through
our server with the router
Remember that you will have to complete lab based
on our IB template.
The sixth day will be a lesson analyzing the heating curve
you should have gotten in the lab from activity #3
The seventh day will be an on-line assessment of their
lesson that you will take with your partner.
I control grades through an on-line grade book:
Management
Using this I can score answers and post comments to you via
the web. The next time you sign onto the site, my comments
and your grade will be visible!
It’s way cool
for a heating
curve.
This is what I see and how I
can manage my grade book.
I grade work by group and by step
I can send comments via feedback
Of course… just because
I do have control issues
I will have to do a smartboard vocab review.
PS. I have finally mastered
the senteos… so look forward
to those!
A
Hoffmann
style
exam
will
Conclude
The
unit!
