Jan. 14 - Lab Exam Review

Study Tips
  - start early
  - read previous labs
  - answer any questions you missed

  - all numbers have units
  - don't repeat units in a table
  - correct sig. dig.


Physical and Chemical Change

Signs of chemical change
  - colour change
  - odour emitted
  - temperature change
  - bubbles form in liquid
  - precipitate forms in liquid
  - difficult to reverse
  - light emitted

A chemical change means that new particles formed

A physical change means that particles stayed the same.

Observations
   - Only record what you see, hear, smell, touch.
   - Clarity: transparent, translucent, opaque
   - Colour: colourless

Classifying Matter
  - Pure substance: only one kind of particle --> element, compound
  - Mixture: two or more types of particles --> solution, homogeneous, heterogenous, mechanical

Lab Safety
  - You can lose marks if you are being unsafe.

Charging Objects

Law of Electric Charges
  + and – attract
  + and + repel
  – and – repel

Ways to charge things
  - friction: rub two materials together
  - induction: bring a charged object near a neutral object, without touching (temporary or permanent)
  - conduction: a charged object touches a neutral object
  - grounding: a charged object touch a large reservoir of charges and becomes neutral.

Electrostatic Series
  - a list of materials
  - must compare two at a time
  - material on top is more likely to lose electrons

Electroscopes
  - to find the charge on an object
       - Pith ball: tells you if object is neutral or charged
       - Metal leaf: tells you if object is neutral or charged

  - use a rod that has a known charge to determine if object is positive or negative.

Homework: 
P. 137 - 138 (Bioamplification)

P. 52 (Tolerance Ranges)

Example of a dry lab:
  1. What is the optimal temperature to grow this plant?
  2. At what temperatures would the plant die?
  3. Describe how the plant would grow at 10° C.
  4. Based on this data, what areas in the world would you expect to find this plant?
