HOME LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE CHEMISTRY I CLASS
This page accumulates
all the home learning assignments given since the beginning of the school year,
but this page is updated intermittently. Students are supposed to:
1)
Take note of
the home learning assignments in class. Ask the teacher (or substitute teacher)
if there is no home learning assignment posted. If the student was absent, then
he/she should:
2)
Check this
webpage first,
3)
Call or text
over the phone any of the 5 class mates contacts established at the beginning
of the school year.
4)
Check the
Google school webmail. Mr. Pagani will also send a copy of the home learning
assignment through Google webmail (School Gmail)
5)
Finally, check
the grades online. The same day the assignment is given, Mr. Pagani opens it as
a pending assignment in the gradebook.
In order to properly
identify, evaluate, and score each piece of work you turn in, always remember
to include the date the assignment is due (not the date you completed it), your
name, period number, and the corresponding title of the home learning
assignment exactly as you find it in this page. This will help you to easily
identify the respective grades online.
ALWAYS CLICK ON THE ANNOUNCEMENTS SECTION

Bring a complete Lab Report on the Density Lab following
the Lab Report Format in my website.
1) Title:
PERCENTAGE OF ERROR CALCULATING DENSITY
2) Objective: The
purpose of this experiment is to determine the percentage of error calculating
the density of different materials in the school lab
3) Hypothesis: It is
hypothesized that the percentage of error calculating density of different
materials in the school laboratory will be bigger than 5%.
4) Materials:
Iron, Brass, Copper, and Aluminum cubes.
Stainless Steel ball.
Wood, PVC, Nylon, and Acrylic cubes.
Water
Graduated Cylinders
Triple Beam Balances
Electronic Balances
5) Procedures: According
to the instructions given by Mr. Pagani, the density of 9 different materials
will be calculated in the school laboratory. The values obtained will be
compared with scientifically respected reported values and the percentage of
error will be determined using the formulas:
Error
= Experimental Value – Accepted Value
Where the
experimental value is the density obtained in the school lab, and the expected
value is the one reported by scientifically respected source.
Percent Error
= {Absolute value of the Error/Accepted Value} x 100
(Check on
page 65 of the textbook)
6) Results: Place
the Completed Table of Results in this section, including the calculated
percentages of error. Average all the errors and report it apart.
7) Analysis:
