CHEMISTRY: Are you ready for the test tomorrow?!? Click below for the test overview from today – orange lava. Below that is the short recording from the help session this morning – green lava. 🙂
Let me give you some hints about making out your own study suggestion sheet for the test. First start by getting organized. If you didn’t do it in class today, make a chart, a really big chart of “What I need to memorize,” “What I need to know how to do,” and “What I need to be able to apply/discuss.” Then start practicing the things you have have the list!! Practice is especially important on the “problem” like objectives such as Lewis structures, drawing ionic bonding, etc. I would also encourage you to make lists of possible discussion questions and then practice answering them for the test. If there are things you are unsure about, go back and watch parts of old vodcasts.
A great way to help you study is to use the “Visual Concepts” part of the online textbook for this chapter. It provides an oral and visual review back through the chapter and also has practice quizzes, etc. It is great! You can access this site by clicking here on the Chemistry Online Textbook or over on the right side of this page, or through Edline. The user name is csbec and the password is chemistry. (Both of these show up when you move the mouse over the online textbook link on Edline.)
And don’t forget that a great place to prctice dot notation and Lewis structures is at sciencegeek.net and practice the things from our chapter that are in the Unit 3 Review Activities. You get feedback right away to know if your answer is right or not, and that’s a good thing.
We’ve covered quite a lot in this chapter. God bless you as you study! I’ll be praying for you!!

I rate myself a 3/5 this week. We took a test today which I feel okay about. I felt like going back and watching the vodcast was helpful. Still, I should have prepared for the test better so I could have done better on the multiple choice even though I feel very good about the discussion questions.
I would rate myself a 3/5 this week. I studied for the test and I started studying earlier this week but I had a hard time when it came down to comprehending the material. I knew what it was and its definintion but applying and keeping them separated was hard for me. I think I did fairly well on the test though.
I would rate myself a 7/10 this week be cause I feel as though my overall preparedness was good although i could have spent more time looking up the discussion questions for the test.
This week I struggled with understanding how to balance equations, but through all the practice we had with the activities and in class, i was able to learn how to do it. I used the information i learned in class to complete the worksheets we were assigned. I rate myself a 5/5 for completing my worksheets, and understanding how to balance equations.
This week I would rate myself a 3/5. I Struggled on the first test but I think I prepared well for the retest and did better.
