| | |

There is very little difference in the books, except they have added a critical thinking question called Chemistry Connection in each chapter in the 6th and 7th editions. Also the 7th edition added a new chapter 15 Advanced Problem Solving, while changing chapter 2 to Chapter PSS (Prerequisite Science Skills) maintaining 20 total Chapters (actually now 21), really still too much to cover in 16 weeks. Our course grading outlines are road maps on how to navigate my lecture organization and each of the old books have this outline online.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: A scientific calculator, periodic chart

(Optional: Lab apron, personal goggles, and gloves) (not provided by the college)

Old Lecture Text (Textbook Option):

I have available many older beginning chemistry texts. You are welcome to use these texts either the first few weeks of the course until you can afford the text or for the entire course. However, you must have your lab manual and lab notebook by the third week (no classes Monday Sept 2-Labor Day Holiday).

As long as it is a beginning/preparatory chem. text (not a college chem. two semester text) you may use any book as long as you can use an index.

Also you may shop the Internet for older versions of Corwin (the 4th , 5th or 6th editions) which you can purchase for $5-$10. 6th edition $20-$40. There are a grading outlines for these old editions and nothing new is in the 7th that is not in the 6th, 5th or 4theditions.

ATTENDANCE:

Students are expected to attend class and will be responsible for all material presented. The student must sign the attendance roster to earn credit for attendance. Each lecture class attended will be worth three points for at least 90 total points of the final grade if there is an attendance monitor. Students arriving late will earn less points. 10:15-10:30 Monday or Wednesday 2 points and 1 point after 10:30. Students who leave early or 30 minutes before the ending time, will be scored zero for attendance that day. A second roll may be circulated 15 minutes before the scheduled ending time. For each lecture missed after two scheduled lectures, the student will lose 5 points per class missed.

Sign in for lab is counted separately worth 5 points for each week with a 75 points total. Anyone arriving more than 15 minutes late (after 9:30) on a wet lab day may be locked out and not allowed to complete the lab that day. A student absent from a lab will lose 4 points for the first, then 10 points for the second, and 20 for each additional lab missed. There is no make-up for a missed lab and the score for that lab will also be a zero. Attendance depends on an attendance monitor keeping totals.

The student will fill out a data card/page similar to your instructor on the last page of this syllabus for the first day’s attendance. The student will submit by the second class, the time 24x7 time management form with her/his class schedule, work schedule and other regular commitments. This is worth 10 points if submitted the second class. The student must also send the instructor a first email as described below before the second class for 20 points. This also depends on the attendance monitor.

[pic][pic][pic]

5A: Email (20 points) : Send me an email to: johtaylo@fscj.edu

In the email make your subject:  25D: First Email

Then in the body of the email tell me about yourself, your hobbies, your goals in life, where you work and what kind of job for how long, your family, even your pets. Also did you have high school chemistry? When? I have a whole web site so that you can get to know me personally. That site (about Me) is at:



Do you have a site About YOU (my Space, Facebook, etc)? If so send me the URL and put it on your index card/data form. (I have a Facebook and we can become friends). If you want to build a similar site, I will post it on my server. When I establish a group email, I will ask you to introduce yourself to the class and add all the class members to your address book. During the first class, each student will add his/her name and data to my contacts list on FSCJ server. I will also pass around my cell phone for you to call and then save your number to my cell phone contacts: (push [green phone])(push [-] options) (option 3: scroll to [Save to address book] then Select) (Select [new]) (Select [type]) (Enter Last Name; First with 25Df13)

Learning Cycle Learning Grid

All the above are subject to having an attendance monitor. Otherwise points may not be assigned.

Special Student Assistance:

Quiz monitors, attendance monitor, personal assistants, test preparers, camera persons/editors, study guide word processor assistant, Chemistry Web Masters, as well as study groups are forms of cooperative learning environments where the student needs to learn how to function in teams.

Volunteers will be requested the first class and the first lab to form the support team. I need two students with laptops the first class so that each student may setup an external email system. Also free-no ads-email accounts are available from the instructor. Please plan to stay after class the first class to receive this email account.

I will circulate my personal cell phone for you to call and setup your name in my contact list on my sym card. Call my phone: 614-0531-answer it (push [green phone])(push [-] options) (option 3: scroll to [Save to address book] then Select) (Select [new]) (Select [type]) (Enter Last Name; First with 25Df13)

However, each student MUST take charge of his/her commitment to learning in order to achieve success in not only this course but also in college.

Homework: Each Module has a pretest homework Packet which must be turned in prior to the scheduled Major Exam for up to 50 points.

The sample pretest quizzes posted on the grading outline are not homework to be turned in, unless they are included in the Pretest Homework Packet. They are for the student’s self practice and for the student to understand what the instructor expects from each section of the textbook and his lectures. The Pretest is an actual page of a previous exam. The grading outline (Course Road Map) may be found at:

The instructor will have links to required and optional online homework which the student will complete and submit electronically. Some may be in Blackboard, others on our class web site. Some additional resources (not for grade) are listed on the not required homework outline form(Fall 2011):



The instructor describes required and optional paper and pencil homework for some sections not available on the Internet on the sample pretests and/or on the homework outline. The student is to keep this optional homework in a notebook and/or a folder and submit the required homework as directed.

The homework outline does not show any points. It is expected that the student will complete the assigned homework voluntarily. Required homework is integrated into the Module exam score or possibly a separate column in the Blackboard grade book.

The first required electronic homework is to practice spelling the elements at:



(Links to descriptions will be placed on the web site)

Daily Pretest Quizzes (optional):

Pretest quizzes may be administered before class (9:30-10:00 Monday/ Wednesday) if the classroom D205 or Chem Lab D204 is available, sometimes during, and/or after every class/lab (12:00-12:30 W and/or 2:15-2:45 Monday) which is not a scheduled exam day. These pretest quizzes may not be made up outside of class day, unless directed by the instructor to complete the pretest in the test center during an assigned period of time. These pretests are NOT take home! The pretest must be completed on the day assigned and are generally yellow hard copy labeled Pretest#1. Sometimes the instructor will allow the students a second chance on the pretest as a makeup the following class period and these sheets are generally pink and labeled Pretest#2. Green is used for Pretest#3 and blue is for post testing the last week of the term. (Buff and Gray are used for Exam and Homework Pretest Packets. Goldenrod Exam/Homework Grading Outlines)

Scored pretest quizzes are NOT recorded in the instructor’s grade book or on Blackboard, but must be attached to the Modular Exam Grading Outline the day of the exam to receive the pretest grade. This pretest packet is submitted as a separate packet. Students must write the scores on both the cover sheet of the pretest packet and on the front page of the exam.

The student will skip the section of the modular exam that is pre-tested successfully. The Pretest scores may be recorded on the attendance sheet, but only for your instructor’s sense of current levels of class achievement.

If you lose the graded pretests, you will have to do the section over on the exam. If the instructor misplaces your pretest, then you will be expected to do it again either as a pretest, on the exam or a posttest with the better score counting if the pretest is found.

The instructor only records Module Exam totals and the Final Exam in his grade book and on Blackboard. Multiple choice and vocabulary homework sections of modules are usually only required online using Blackboard, and are usually never pre-tested nor post-tested hard copy in the classroom. If pretested they will be online in Blackboard for a homework grade.

Do Not Staple the Modular Exams together as they are graded separately, listed on Blackboard separately, and returned separately after the exam day. Please staple carefully as directed. Mixing the modular papers on Exam day may result in a lower grade by 10 points per missing paper per module.

Never staple a scantron to your work!

Stapled scantrons will cost the student 10 points on the test

Pretest Rules:

1. Pretests are EXAMS! They are NOT open book. They are NOT open notes. They are NOT collaboration with your neighbor.

2. The pretests may NOT be used during the exam!

3. You must do the pretests in the class room monitored by the instructor. You may NOT take the pretests home and submit the next day.

Samples of each section (pretest) of each exam may be found on the grading outline on the web site. On the sample tests sometimes there are suggestions for paper and pencil homework in the textbook.



Pre-testing is a privilege not a right!

They will be completed on your time outside of class time in the classroom!

Major Exams:

Three to Four major exams consisting of eight modular exams will be administered in class on the approximate exam days listed below. Each exam is a minimum of two modules. Exam#3 & #4 are composed of portions of many modules. These exams will constitute approximately 50-65% of the student’s final grade. A pretest packet grading outline will be supplied hard copy before each exam. The paper is goldenrod (orange) in color. You take two copies, one for you to keep record, the other attached to your pretest packet on exam day. This form will be distributed for exam#1 on the first day of class.

The overall course grading outline (Course Road Map) for these exams may be found at:

Exams (Approximate Date):

ACS California or Toledo Placement, Test: Week 1, M, Aug 26 (at the end of lab time)

Exam 1 Week 4: Sept 16-18 (Module 1 & 2)(College Closed Sept 2 Labor Day)

Exam 2 Week 7-8: Oct 9-14 (Module 3 & 4)

ACS Toledo Placement test Monday Dec 2 at the end of lab

Lab Practical Week 16: in D204 (20 minutes)* Dec 9

Final Exam: Week 16 Monday Dec 9

ACS California Placement Exam with Math from ACS Toledo:

|[pic] |During the first week all students may take the ACS California Placement test during the first scheduled lab class |

| |(August 26). It is a pre-assessment of chemistry skills and will be post course tested the week of finals week. The test |

| |includes 44 multiple choice questions and an additional 20 questions from the Toledo Placement test on math. Students should|

| |be able to score 70% on the Mathematics Section II. If lower than 70%, the student should examine their math ability for |

| |this course. The math section counts 20 points the first week, and the post California on Aug 1st for 30 points |

Students should be able to score at least 50% or better if they have had high school chemistry recently on sections 1. Bonus points for each section will be awarded for scores above 70%. If most of the chemistry questions seem foreign, then just leave it blank as the course content will provide the student with the skills to answer these questions in Post test Format the week before the finals. In Post test format, everyone should be able to score above 80% on Section 1 (44 questions), if you and the instructor are successful with 12 weeks of instruction. The mathematics section II will not be included in the Post test. The test will count 1 point for each questions answered successfully during the final exam week plus the 20 points for the math (70% of 44 is 30 (all correct answers above 30 will count one bonus point the first week..

 

Final Exam:

The student will complete the final exam worth up to 200 total points of the final grade. Students with an A average grade going into the final MUST take the final. No student is excused from the final.

The final exam will be completed in class as scheduled by the final exam schedule Dec 9. It will be a 100 question multiple choice comprehensive final exam during the final exam period as designated by the published FSCJ final exam schedule. Each question is 2 points for 200 points. There will be a 100 point Practice Final Homework to be completed on Blackboard. If the student skips the practice, the final will count 300 points instead of 200. There are also online practice finals (no credit) which may be found at:



If a student performs poorly on the final exam or scores a zero by being absent then the final grade is lowered by 8 to 6% which may lower the final grade by no more than one grade, The student may be pre-test the finals at the option of the instructor on Post testing days Friday-December 6 (9:00 am-2:00 pm)-and possibly Sat. December 7 (9:00-2:00pm)

Old Chemistry Finals prior to Summer 2013 may be found at (also good practice for Modular MC tests):

Final Exam Challenge for an A Grade:

If the student scores 86% out of 100 questions on the 100 question final, the student will receive an A final grade in the course. If no one scores 86% or above, the student with the highest correct score above 70% will earn an “A” in the course (applies to only one student unless there is a tie for the highest score 70-85). Students scoring 75-85 on the Final earn a “B” final grade and 60-74 “C”. However, this testing out of the grade requires that the student must have attended 2/3rd of the lab sessions.

The instructor reserves the right to change the final to an option the last day December 9 . The optional final will become bonus credit of up to 100 points instead of the required 200 points.

Post-Testing:

The instructor may post test sections of the modular exams that a majority of the students miss. Multiple choice and vocabulary sections may not be pre-tested or post-tested unless otherwise announced by the instructor. This post testing will be done on a day in a time frame established by the instructor via group email or at a designated time. The post test is a free attempt. Scoring lower on the post test than on the modular exam section will not penalize the student. The post test will be ignored and the exam section score will count. Improving on the post test will replace that section’s score on the modular exam. The student will resubmit his/her exam grading outline cover sheet which shows the scores to the attempted post tested sections. Students who have sections scoring lower than 70% (6 out of 10) should post test these sections. Scores at 85% or above will NOT be post tested. Students must submit a Post Test Request Form (Gray) on or before the last lecture class before the finals or post testing day.

If the student does not have her/his exam, then post testing will NOT be possible. Each student will be given three Part by Part Post Test Grading Outline forms (Gray). All scores must be entered from the pretest cover sheets for each exam or the Module being posttested. One will be retained as the master by the student and the other two will be the cover sheets for the special makeup days post tests.

MAKE-UP POLICY:

Make-up exams are usually not given. In the event of an unavoidable absence (jury duty, hospitalization, incarceration, and death in the immediate family), you will be allowed make-up. You must contact the instructor, no later than, the day of the exam in order to discuss what arrangements might be made. This may be done with a quick email. A message must be left on the instructor's e-mail (johtaylo@fscj.edu ) if the instructor cannot be reached. If a makeup is allowed, it must be completed prior to return of the exam papers completed by the student attending the scheduled exam. Missed exams will otherwise count as 0 points. Makeup exams may be administered in the Assessment Center. Once the test is returned and the makeup has not been completed then a zero grade will be assigned.

The instructor will discuss with the class those that are sick with colds, flu, and other common illnesses which will hinder their performance on an exam. On an individual basis he may allow make-up in the test center on exam days. Also sick children, car and transportation problems will be dealt with on an individual basis as well as those that just panic on test days or have back-to-back exams on the same day. But the rule is generally no makeup on exam day except at the instructor’s discretion. Student abuse of absences on exam day may result in strict enforcement of the no-makeup policy with only the unavoidable exceptions above allowed.

Students who take the test on the assigned test day are guaranteed to receive their graded exam on or before the next exam day after completion of the new exam, otherwise the student will be assigned a 100% grade for the un-graded paper. Students not taking the exam on exam day may not receive their grade until days or weeks after the class papers are returned and WILL NOT be awarded the 100% bonus for on-time testing.

GRADING:

Exams mainly determine a student's letter grade. The approximate grade distributions are:

90% = A Final Exams 300 points

80% = B Four Exams 1200-1600 points

65% = C Labs up to 400 points

50% = D ACS Test up to 50 points

Attendance 150 points (includes email/time management)

Homework up to 100-500 points

Project/Papers up to 200 points

Instructor’s Right to Change or Modify Grading Procedures:

This instructor reserves the right to make changes in this syllabus whenever he feels it is appropriate to do so. The instructor reserves the right to modify or change the grading progress as the course proceeds. Any additional course assignments will substitute for deleted items. Some may also be modified if not deleted. The instructor will not add major examinations as a modification and maintain the four exams plus final requirements and their percent distribution.

The instructor will not drop the lowest test grade. Don’t ask! Instead a student may prove comprehension of the material at a later time through post testing as arranged with the instructor. A student making an A up to the final MUST take the final to earn a final grade of A, etc.

Exams will be based on material covered in the lecture as well as reading assignments outlined on the course calendar and grading outline. The course calendar is found in the weekly group emails which will be posted as announcements on Blackboard.

* Labs scheduled on Monday holidays (9/2 & 11/11) will not have scheduled lab

that week. Each faculty will decided if there will be a lab assignment for the week (on Tuesdays) since experiments are packaged in tubs.

Fall Term 2013 CHM 1025C Lab Rules:

1. Each student must have the required Laboratory Manual and Laboratory Notebook prior to the second scheduled lab class (9/9). Instructions on using a laboratory notebook are in the Appendix of the Lab Manual.

2. During the first scheduled lab class in D-204, the following will be covered

a. Students will sign the master laboratory attendance form and this form will be given to Dr. Julie Sutton, North Campus Lab Manager

b. Students will sign and give the instructor one copy of the individual laboratory contract to verify attendance the first day of schedule lab and keep a second copy to make a similar copy on the first page of the student laboratory notebook.

c. Show the ACS Laboratory Safety film. Students will take notes and copy these notes into the laboratory notebook on page 2 before the second meeting on the lab class. An Outline of the film may be provided to aid the note taking.

d. Student will copy the FSCJ-North chemistry lab rules handed out the first meeting into their laboratory notebook.

e. Students will sketch the HMIS Labeling System and list the descriptions for each number for each category in their laboratory notebook

f. Students will Sketch the NFPA symbol and then copy a more detailed or specific hazard for each NFPA numeric category from the Safety Codes handout. Explain what each number represents in each category in their laboratory notebook.

g. Using Chemical Date Bases on the Internet, the student will copy on a new page in their notebook the data sheet from the MSDS Assignment handout and fill in the form for the chemical assigned and submit this page by the second lab period.

3. There is no makeup for missing a scheduled lab (unless the student can show registration into the course after the first lab meeting). Students attending all labs will earn 30 bonus points as the student is allow one and only missed lab except the first lab on safety during the term.

4. Students receive an automatic zero for not attending and completing the scheduled lab (except the first lab on safety) or if they have not prepared the proper prelab assignment.

5. All students will prepare as directed by a policy handout the first week of lab, a prelab report. This prelab report must have the following sections:

a. Goals/Objectives (written in lab notebook)

b. Procedures (written in lab notebook)

c. Lab data sheets must be copied into the lab notebook for the scheduled lab.

d. attach completed Pre-laboratory Assignment from Lab Manual

6. No data may be written on the data tear out pages in the lab manual during the lab. All data must be recorded directly into the lab notebook with a ball point pen, pressing hard to make a clear copy underneath (do not forget to place the heavy periodic chart between the lab notebook pages).

7. Neatness counts. Procedures that are not readable may be rejected by the lab instructor. During the first 15 minutes of lab, the student will turn in the copy of Part A: Goals/Objectives, Part B: Procedures, and Part D Pre-laboratory Assignment. Each page should have the student’s name. Please staple all these pages together in order.

8. Students not having a prepared prelab report in their lab notebook after the first lab may be sent home by the instructor and receive a zero for that lab.

9. During the first 15 minutes, the student will sign into lab by signing the Prelab attendance form and submit the prelab copies under the roll sheet. After the first week, the student will sign a second attendance roll and submit the post lab report from the previous week including filling out the Post Laboratory Assignment.

10. Students who do not have a lab manual will not be allowed to work in the lab and receive a zero for the scheduled lab (except the first week).

11. The external lab doors may be shut 15 minutes after the lab begins. No student will be allowed to work in the lab if they arrive over 15 minutes late. If the check in rolls are not signed the student will receive no credit for the lab that day (0/30)

12. Students will work only in pairs, 12 setups. Students will be assigned to a work space by the third lab and by then will have selected a lab partner. Odd students will work alone if a partner doesn't show.

13. Student will copy the lab data directing into the lab notebook data pages and submit the copies of each data page used in the lab notebook by signing a third roll sheet when they are leaving the lab. The time of checkout should also be noted. The student will submit before she/he leaves the copy of the lab data page from the notebook. During the next week the student will copy neatly from his/her data from the notebook on to the original data page from the lab manual. The original data page from the Lab manual will be the cover sheet(s) for the lab report and submitted during the first 10 minutes of the following week’s lab.

14. Your instructor may modified any of the above instructions during the lab or in an email before or after the lab has been performed.

15. For the first absence from lab, a student will be able to complete an outside the class assignment/project as directed by the faculty member to makeup the work missed.

16. For a second absence from the lab, the instructor may or may not allow the student a second makeup project. A third makeup is out of the question. However, student with perfect attendance in lab, will be allowed to do one of the optional makeup projects for bonus credit.

Students with Disabilities:

Qualified students with documented disabilities are eligible for physical and academic accommodations under the American Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Students requesting accommodations should contact this professor during the first week of class with official documentation of disability

Withdrawal Policy:

Students will be allowed to withdraw from this class any time during the semester through Thursday, October 31st for an A-16 schedule and will post a grade of “W”. After this date a letter grade will be assigned reflecting the student’s performance in the class. Students failing to attend class for the first two consecutive weeks are subject to withdrawal (WNA) by the instructor according to FSCJ policy. These ‘no shows’ must be reported to Admissions and Records by Tuesday September 10th.Student who stop attending and do not withdraw will be assigned a FN final grade for nonattendance

Study Groups/Phone Network/Lab Partner:

On the first day of class each student will complete a Data Card, Interview a peer, and introduce (if time permits) that peer to the class. From these exercises and the learning styles inventory, study groups, a phone network, and lab partners need to be established. Study areas, as well as the classroom, should be used for study groups plus lunch and learn sessions. Some portions of the office times may meet in the library computer learning lab. Each week volunteers will be appreciated to assist in the group operation of the class. The first personal assistant volunteer will prepare a matrix with each student’s free study time so that study groups may begin to be formed the second week of school. The phone network will be established so that in case of emergencies by the instructor each student will be responsible to call two other students in the network to alert the student of the emergency so that information may be distributed prior to the next scheduled class. Emergencies will usually also include a group email on the morning/afternoon of the class meeting

Academic Misconduct:

Academic misconduct or dishonesty such as cheating and plagiarism is not permitted. Suspected cases may be reported to the FSCJ administration and/or may result in failure of an assignment, failure in the course or exclusion from the class. Also, the instructor reserves the right to reassign work to students and void any papers at any time. No questions asked-The instructor may tell the student to reattempt the work to earn the daily quiz grade or examination grade or the instructor may assign a zero). The following are excerpts from the Student Catalog and are rules for the operation of this course:

“Academic dishonesty, in any form, is expressly prohibited by the rules of the District Board of Trustees of Florida State College at Jacksonville.

As used herein, academic dishonesty incorporates the following.

▪ Cheating, which is defined as the giving or taking of any information or material with the intent of wrongfully aiding one’s self or another in academic work considered in the determination of course grade or the outcome of a standardized test.

▪ Plagiarism, which is defined as the act of stealing or passing off as one’s own work the words, ideas or conclusions of another as if the work submitted were the product of one’s own thinking rather than an idea or product derived from another source.

▪ Any other form of inappropriate behavior which may include but is not limited to: falsifying records or data, lying, unauthorized copying, tampering, abusing or otherwise unethically using computer or other stored information, and any other act or misconduct which may reasonably be deemed to be a part of this heading.

Alleged Academic Dishonesty in the Classroom

A faculty member who has a concern regarding a student’s conduct in the area of academic dishonesty may elect to meet with the student directly.

Once the student is notified, it is advised that the student resolve the matter with the faculty member. However, at any time the student may request a hearing with the campus dean of student success.

Meeting(s) referenced above shall meet the College’s requirements for due process.

Following the discussion with the student, the faculty member may take one or more of the following action(s).

1. Verbally warn the student that continuation or repetition of misconduct of this nature may be cause for further disciplinary action.

2. Require the student to retake the test or rewrite the assignment.

3. Require the student to withdraw from the course.

4. Fail the student for the assignment.

5. Fail the student for the course.

6. Refer the student(s) to the campus dean of student success for possible suspension or dismissal.

For cases in which the student is referred to the campus dean of student success for action, the dean will appropriately involve the faculty member and inform the faculty member of the disposition of the matter.

Each faculty member shall communicate the College’s policy on academic dishonesty to each class section with which that faculty member is involved. (This syllabus is that communication)

Classroom Etiquette:

Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults in the classroom showing respect to their classmates. Only persons registered for this class are permitted in the classroom. As a courtesy to the instructor and your fellow classmates, cellular telephones and all electronic equipment should be cut off before entering the classroom or laboratory. Likewise, the instructor sometimes forgets to shut his down at the beginning of class, so hopefully someone sitting close to the front may remind the instructor with a hand gesture for him to check his phone. Disruptive students maybe asked to leave. Students are not to be on cell phones talking or text messaging. Students are not to be listening to the IPOD or MP3 players during class or test time. Students are not to be surfing on the Internet with PDA, cell phones or laptops.

No Electronic Devices may be used during Pretesting and examinations.

Studying: Chemistry is a cumulative subject. Concepts learned in the first chapter will be applied in the second, etc. The final exam is cumulative.

In order to do well in this course, it is essential to study and work problems from the textbook and study guide.

The following is a list of study suggestions

1) Read the text chapters before the material is covered in class. At least power read the material

2) Take good notes and review them daily. Within 24 hours of taking you note, rewrite them in a neat format/notebook.

3) Work all assigned homework problems at the end of the assigned chapters. Do not get behind!!!!!!

4) Work the practice exams (Pretest Homework Packet) that are available on the web site without looking at the answer key. Then check your answers.

5) Use the interactive web site and submit the online required homework

.

Required Papers/Projects for Laboratory Points/Experiments:

During the 16 week Fall Term, the student may be assigned to complete three or four of the following papers or projects for lab/lecture credit.(There are two Monday Holidays-so there will be at least two required paper/projects. Each will count 30-60-90 points. Each must be submitted as designated by the instructor. You will write three to six page papers, word processed 12 point type, double spaced worth 30-60 points toward the final grade on the following:

1. Energy Project: Gasoline Demand (Required 90 points):

During the first weeks of class you need to fill your gasoline tank in your car. During course you will keep a record of all purchases of gasoline noting dates, price, amount, cost and odometer reading. Get receipts or keep a diary in your vehicle. Then transfer each purchase to a data page or in a spreadsheet. See handout 1st lab

During the last weeks, you fill your tank again and record the data. You will determine:

b. The Total Miles driven; the Total Gallons Used; the Total Cost; and the Total Days of the Project.

Total Miles Driven: Subtract you initial odometer reading from the your final Odometer Reading

Total gallon Used: Sum all your Gallons Purchased, except do not include the gallons recorded in your initial fill-up (Why?)

Total Cost: Sum all your dollars spent during the project, except the initial fill-up. (Why?)

c. Then you will compute the average MPG and the average cost per mile for the gasoline.

MPG = Total Miles Driven divided by Total Gallons Used

Average Cost Per Mile = Total Dollars Spent divided by Total Mile Driven

d. You will also calculate your average daily mileage and average daily gallons of gasoline used:

Average daily Miles = Total Miles Driven divided by Total Days of the Project

Average Daily Gallons Used = Total Gallon Used divided by Total Days of the Project

e. How many times did you exceed 75 miles in one day?

(You may not be able to answer this, but statistics say that the average U.S. driver averages 29 miles per day and this can be skewed if you took a long trip during the project to see if you are average)

f. What is your annual mileage:

Annual Mileage = your daily average miles driven calculated above multiplied by 365 days

g. your projected annual need for gasoline:

Annual Gasoline Demand: Your average Gallons Used multiplied by 365 days

h. What will be annual cost at $2.50 per gallon; $3.00 per gallon; $3.50 per gallon; $4.00 per gallon; $4.50 per gallon; and $5.00 per gallon.

Annual Cost @ $2.50/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $2.50/gallon

Annual Cost @ $3.00/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $3.00/gallon

Annual Cost @ $3.50/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $3.50/gallon

Annual Cost @ $4.00/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $4.00/gallon

Annual Cost @ $4.50/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $4.50/gallon

Annual Cost @ $5.00/gallon = Yearly Gasoline Demand(gallons) multiplied by $5.00/gallon

i. Total Pounds of Carbon Dioxide released into the atmosphere by you every year.

Total Annual CO2 Released = Total Annual Gallons Used multiplied by 19 pounds/gallon

i. The instructor may add additional data for you to determine to complete this project.

These calculations should be done in a spreadsheet or typed in table format, but the spreadsheet may either be hand drawn on your data page or done on the computer. You may also keep your data in your lab notebook.

You need to only fill the tank twice, at the beginning and at the end of the project. You will not use the first fill-up in your calculations, except odometer reading. Why?

If you do not drive or own a vehicle and can not get cooperation from your family, the instructor will assigned an alternate energy demand project or you may earn 30-60 total points using the data of your instructor’s car. This assignment is 90 points total.

2. Nuclear Chemistry Paper/Project Chapter 18 (Optional)

There will be no exam on Chapter 18. The student will study chapter 18 to understand Nuclear Chemistry. The student will write a four to six paper in conjunction with chapter 18 on Nuclear Chemistry demonstrating knowledge of Chapter 18. On a day(Tuesday evening) scheduled by the instructor the movie below will be shown. To start this project watch the movie and take notes:

|[pic] |

|Watch the 1979 movie: |

|China Syndrome (1979) |

|Starring: Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon Director: James Bridges Rating [pic] |

|Plot Synopsis: While doing a series of reports on alternative energy sources, an opportunistic reporter Kimberly Wells witnesses an accident at a |

|nuclear power plant. Wells is determined to publicize the incident but soon finds herself entangled in a sinister conspiracy to keep the full impact |

|of the incident a secret. |

| |

Explain how an nuclear power plant (or nuclear Navy ship) works. Compare the dates of the release of this movie in 1979 and what happen at Three Mile Island. How many nuclear power plants are operating in the U.S. and what is the percentage of electricity produced from nuclear versus fossil fuel.

Several additional questions should be answered:

a. What is the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Write balanced nuclear equations to explain.

b. Can a nuclear fission power plant explode like an atomic bomb? If not, then what is the environmental danger from an accident. Review: Three Mile Island accident in the U.S, Chernobyl Catastrophe in Russia, and last year’s Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. Use the Internet and research the three accidents and include a paragraph or two on each in your paper explaining what happened n the first two, then assemble at least a page about Japan’s accident..

c. What are the environmental problems caused by a nuclear power plant. If you saw the film “Category 6” what happened when they crank up the power plants beyond the federal limits of production

d. What is Helium 3? Where is a supply located? How can it be used for electricity production?.

3. Critical Thinking Artifact (Required) 60 points:

After completing Module 2 and Chapter 2 of the textbook during the course, a critical thinking artifact will be required. It may be the analysis of a film, analysis of a journal article, or interpretation of a set of lab data. For this semester a handout on Temperature Conversions will allow you to generate your own temperature scale and perform some data interpretations as a demonstration of your critical thinking ability.

4. The Video Project: The Hollywood Film Assignment (Required):

(Scientific Method: Controlled Experiment Paper [Andromeda Strain Movie Paper]):

Movie Film: Andromeda Strain – 1971-Will be Required Week 2

 

|[pic] | |

| |In conjunction with Chapter 1, your assignment is to watch the film partially during class time, then at |

| |home, or at an additional on campus time. Note the problem which threatened life on earth, and setoff a |

| |"wildfire" protocol. Note how did the scientists approach the "Wildfire" problem and note all the steps and |

| |procedures used in the experimental controls that help eliminate the various variables from their |

| |investigation, then explain how they went about trying to solve the problem to come up with a solution. What|

| |were the three questions did they had to determine to understand the strain? Finally you need to explain the|

| |solution, and the chemistry behind it, which is discussed in Chapter 16 in the Corwin text. |

| | |

| |You may check –out this film for one class period and the instructor will provide you with a six page |

| |handout for your notes. |

Access:

The film may be found for check out in our library or Optional class showing Wednesday September 4 during the lab times(after lecture). Movie is 2 hours and 10 minutes:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Project/Paper: Alternative to Gasoline (Chapter 17) (Optional)

Watch the movie:

|[pic] |Tagline: In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California. They were quiet and fast, |

| |produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline...........Ten years later, these cars were destroyed. |

| |Plot Outline A documentary that investigates the birth and death of the electric car, as well as the |

| |role of renewable energy and sustainable living in the future. |

| |Plot Synopsis: With gasoline prices approaching $4/gallon, fossil fuel shortages, unrest in oil |

| |producing regions around the globe and mainstream consumer adoption and adoption of the hybrid electric |

| |car (more than 140,000 Prius' sold this year), this story couldn't be more relevant or important. |

• The foremost goal in making this movie is to educate and enlighten audiences with the story of this car, its place in history and in the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing addiction to foreign oil. This is an important film with an important message that not only calls to task the officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government, the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on the car and embrace embracing instead the SUV. Our documentary investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our country's future; issues which affect everyone from progressive liberals to the neo-conservative right.

Then the student should watch the 2010 sequel to the above:

|[pic] |Revenge of the Electric car: go to: |

| | |

| |Revenge of the Electric Car presents the recent resurgence of electric vehicles as seen through the eyes of|

| |four pioneers of the EV revolution. Director Chris Paine (Who Killed the Electric Car? 2006) has had |

| |unprecedented access to the electric car research and development programs at General Motors, Nissan, and |

| |Tesla Motors, while also following a part time electric car converter who refuses to wait for the |

| |international car makers to create the electric cars the public demands. |

As more models of electric cars than ever before start to arrive in showrooms and driveways across the world, Chris Paine's film offers an inspiring, entertaining and definitive account of this revolutionary moment in human transportation. Revenge of the Electric Car follows these auto makers as they race each other to create the first, best, and most publicly accepted electric cars for the new car market.Written by Michelle Kaffko

Assignment: Watch the video, then research electric cars (use concepts from Chapter 19 to explain the fundamentals of fuel cells and batteries). Compare the current Nissan LEAF, Ford Focus EV, CODA, Mitsubishi i-MiEV , Tesla Model S , Wheego LiFe, and the Volt. Look at the specs for the future cars: THINK City, Honda Fit EV, Scion iQ EV , Toyota RAV4 EV , Volkswagen E-Up! And Volkswagen E-Golf .

Go to local dealers and do a test drive (extra 30 points) on the VOLT and LEAF which are available in Jacksonville. Research the new electric vehicles which will be available in 2013 and 2014. Explain the Federal Tax Credit for these vehicles.

Write a paper (4 to 6 pages) about the movies, highlighting the points which had the greatest impact on you. In the final minutes of the first film, the documentary uses a guilty/not guilty analogy for each of the major points in the film. Include these with at least one sentence describing this category of evidence present. Do research on the current hybrid automobile, pros and cons. Is the HYBRID a long term solution? Is there a next step toward gasoline independence, and conclude with suggestions which might solve our personal transportation problem. Please inject you personal comments and opinions but label them so. What is a plug-in hybrid? Describe the current hydrogen car initiative.

In your paper, use a few paragraphs to explain FLEX Fuel (pros/cons) and HHO projects to increase gas mileage. What are the CAFÉ standards. What si the current CAFE What will happen to them from 2012 to 2016. For 2025 what is the mileage standard agreed by the auto makers.

Hopefully from your Gasoline Project, and the projections for $4, $5, and $6 per gallon prices, what will you personally do to cope with so much of your income going to get you from one place to another in Jacksonville area.

Additional Optional Papers/Projects:

The student may complete up to two of the following papers/projects to makeup for a missed “wet lab” experience only upon approval of the instructor:

VI. Organic Paper: Prescription Drugs (Optional)

In conjunction with Chapters 19 and 20, plus the supplemental chapter: Drugs: Chemical Cures, Comforts, and cautions, the student will select a prescription drug. The student will consult a PDR in the library. The student may use the Poop sheet provided with the drug. The student should select a drug of interest, or one prescribed by a doctor for the student to take. The student should include the chemical names, generic names, etc. in a one page paper. The student should consult at least three pharmacies to find the average price as well as an online pharmacy, plus compare the Name Brand versus Generic prices. What would the drug cost in Canada. The student will describe what the drug is suppose to do for the patient for what condition. The student will close the paper with the precautions and side effects which may be experienced by the patient.

VII. Index Card Project: Toxicology of Commercial Products (Optional)

The student will collect data from five different categories of household products used in her/his home. The product and its chemical contents should be listed on the front side of a 3x5 file card. On the back of the card the precautions and emergency procedure should be listed for the misuse of the product. Can you find the nearest poison control center. Read the supplemental chapters on Toxicology and Poisons and Household Chemicals supplied by the instructor upon request.

VIII. Global Warming Project/Paper (Optional)

|[pic] |Product Description |

| |Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history|

| |and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change in the most talked-about |

| |documentary of the year. An audience and critical favorite, An Inconvenient Truth makes the compelling |

| |case that global warming is real, man-made, and its effects will be cataclysmic if we don’t act now. Gore|

| |presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way: often humorous, |

| |frequently emotional, always fascinating. In the end, An Inconvenient Truth accomplishes what all great |

| |films should: it leaves the viewer shaken, involved and inspired. |

Write a paper on Global Warming. Take a pro or con stand on the issue. You may use references from the film. There is a follow-up 30 minute update by Al Gore which will be shown in class.

Or

Actually a better film is the Six Degrees film shown on National geographic Channel:

| |National Geographic: Six Degrees Could Change the World (2007) |

|[pic] |Starring: Alec Baldwin Director: Ron Bowman Rating [pic] |

| |Product Description |

| |In a special broadcast event National Geographic explores the startling theory that Earths |

| |average temperature could rise six degrees Celsius by the year 2100. In this amazing and |

| |insightful documentary National Geographic illustrates one poignant degree at a time the |

| |consequences of rising temperatures on Earth. Also learn how existing technologies and |

| |remedies can help in the battle to dial back the global thermometer |

IX. Biochemistry Project: Diet Analysis (Optional)

The student should read the supplemental chapter Food: Molecular Gastronomy supplied by the instructor. The student will list and estimate the amounts of each food consumed for a day, The student will prepare a table breaking down the foods in at least three of the six categories of body nutrients excluding water: water, Fats, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Vitamin, and Minerals. The totals for each category should be computed as well as the total calories for each food consumed. The daily total should be computed. If possible the student could extend the project into a “normal” day and an “abnormal” day.

Before a student attempts any of the above 10 projects/papers, either the instructor will announce a particular project will counts as that week’s lab grade or permission must be obtained from the lecture instructor before a project may be attempted for work missed due to absence.

X. Dr Day Cancer Videos:

Suppose you or a relative comes down with cancer. What would you do? Cut It Out; Radiate It, or Take Chemo Therapy. Watch what this Doctor did to cure herself of cancer:

The student will view at least two of Dr. Day’s videos:

1. You Can Not Improve on God!

2. Seeing Through The Maze of Alternative Medicine: What works, What Dosen’t and Why!

There are also six other videos you could watch including:

Cancer Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore! ; Diseases Don’t Just Happen!

Write a paper describing the 10 steps and summarize the alternative medicine cures

|Joint Critical Thinking Project via Modeling Linear Functions Using Temperature Conversion Scales |

|Abstract: At FSCJ exercises are being developed to demonstrate critical thinking ability of the students. This project is a joint effort to |

|compare students in both College Algebra and Chemistry classes. The functional relationship between the Fahrenheit and Celsius Temperature |

|scales are derived using the corresponding boiling and freezing points of water. In this project students each create a unique Temperature |

|scale using the student’s body weight and the student’s age as the boiling and freezing points of water respectively. This “student” scale is|

|then compared to the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. The resulting functions are graphed and compared. We will illustrate this on the webpage:|

A handout will be provided the first lab class and this project is due on the day of Exam#1.

Service-Learning (up to 50 points Extra Credit)

[pic]

During the semester, students may engage in Service-Learning Activities and receive make-up or extra credit. Immediately coming to mind would be tutoring, one-on-one helping students in chemistry, math, or other sciences. This could be college peers, elementary, middle high school. This could be being my assistant at demonstrations and/or presentation—or being a co-presenter. It doesn’t have to be chemistry, but I would prefer it to be involved with sciences.

This Fall there are two activities which I will pay you some points: On Saturday September 14th (or the 21st) we will do science demos at the Literacy fair held at the college. On Wednesday October 23 we will have National Mole Day at North and your participation will be worth some points.

Last year I did many community and college services beyond chemistry. I made three Black history talks on campus; plus I did four presentations at the International conference on Teaching and Learning. Here are the abstracts:

Four 2013 Presentations at:

24th International Conference on Teaching and Learning “Reality Learning”

John T. Taylor and Dana Thomas, Florida State College at Jacksonville

The Classroom According to Hollywood-Volume Seven: The Pros and Cons of Athletic Programs in Schools

This is an update of a popular activity that the presenters incorporate into their online education classes for pre-teachers. Volume 7 is an all new set of video clips used to stimulate threaded discussions in their distance learning classes not previously shown at this conference. Previously the presenters have identified over 75 Hollywood films dealing with teachers and the classroom focusing on six different themes. The entire set of Volume 7 clips from more than 25 additional movies will focus on the assets and liabilities of school-sponsored athletic programs. The pressure of winning at all costs is too often in conflict with teaching good sportsmanship and an athlete’s success in the classroom. (ID #215/Track 3)

Joint Critical Thinking Project via Modeling Linear Functions Using Temperature Conversion Scales

At FSCJ exercises are being developed to demonstrate critical thinking ability of the students. This project is a joint effort to compare students in both College Algebra and Chemistry classes. The functional relationship between the Fahrenheit and Celsius Temperature scales are derived using the corresponding boiling and freezing points of water. In this project students each create a unique Temperature scale using the student’s body weight (or desired body weight) and the student’s age (or student’s desired age) as the boiling and freezing points of water respectively. This student’s scale is then compared to the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. The resulting functions are graphed and compared. We will illustrate this on the webpage: (ID #180/Track 2)

Using Video to Enhance Earth Sciences and Astronomy Instruction: Documentaries and Project Hollywood

The presenters have collected over 450 hours of documentaries on the subjects of Earth and Space Sciences and over 50 Hollywood movies to take the student from inside the earth to distance solar systems and galaxies during FSCJ’s ESC 1000, AST 1002, and AST2933 classes. The presenters will show clips from their favorite titles. Participants will receive hard copies of the two updated lists for 2012: Commercial Documentaries and Hollywood movies.

Volume 6: Prequel to the Little Rock Nine: Thurgood Marshall and Brown v Board of Education

On September 25, 2017 The Little Rock Nine (now Eight) will assemble again in Little Rock, Arkansas to celebrate 60 years after the historic day in civil rights history. FSCJ Professor, John Taylor, was there in 1957. Volumes 1 through 5 over the previous five conferences have told many stories of the historic year at Central in 1957-58. Volume 6 will focus on the 60 years leading up to this day when segregation barrier was finally broken across the 12 state South and five border states in the United States. One man, Thurgood Marshall, risked his life for over 20 years until 1954’s Supreme Court Decision: Brown v Board of Education changed the law of the land which created the Separate But Equal Doctrine? (Plessy v Ferguson) in 1896.
