LECTURE 3A: Chapter 4- part 1
Covalent Bonds
(NOT on Exam 1)


Test this week (Week 3)
I would recommend creating an index card, with anything you choose written on it, to use for the test.  Since it is an exam that you are taking online, and it won't be proctored, you can use your notes.  However, it is a 50 question test and you will only have 60 minutes to take it.  Therefore you will not have time to look for answers in your packet.  Therefore I would suggest creating an index card to use as a study tool. 

Be certain to take and then study the results of the online review quiz in Week 2. 

If you have a special circumstance that you can't take exam by the due date. You need to let me know before the due date. Students taking this exam after the deadline need to take it at CENTER 456 Testing Lab at school even though you leave far away from school (You may use: ONE 3 x 5 note card ONLY during the exam.)  


Remember you need to take exam on schedule.  You might not be allowed to do make up exam.  However, if you take exam late you will earn 70% of your scores.

Forum this Week

As always you can use the forums to ask questions.  You all have done a great job using the forums to ask questions, but I would encourage you to answer other student's questions as well.

 

Now For the Lecture...

Have the lecture outline for Chapter 4-1 in front of you (You can print this off of moodle under Week 3).

Watch this
Video Clip first, before going below to the little animated "movie".

Video Clip: Introduction to Covalent Bonds
about 6 minutes



The Study Questions this week include some information about a tiny animated "movie" that was created back in the late nineties.  

You can watch the following  "movie"
  • at home or other locations where you use the Internet
  • at one of the computers in the Library (Main Campus)
  • one of the LCC Instructional Computing Labs  HOURS: http://www.lanecc.edu/icl/labhours.htm

Why this movie? 
When a plant makes glucose by photosynthesis, it captures the sun's energy in the bonds that join the atoms of carbons in glucose.  One of the purposes of this movie is to explain what bonds are.  Also, t
hroughout this course we will be looking at the chemical structure of nutrients. The purpose of the movie is to introduce you to chemical structures, and explain what elements, electrons, and bonds are.


The Path to Inner Peace. A "movie" about covalent bonding.

Thanks to Ken Loge for enabling this to run on the Web. 

This little movie requires the plugin Shockwave which works fine on Windows-based  computers.

It does not seem to work on Macs with either Firefox or Safari as your browser.  

But it DOES seem to work on a Mac if you have Internet Explorer on your Mac.

I will give you two options for viewing it so if the first doesn't work, try the second option. 

Make sure you answer Study questions 1-12 in SQ 4- Part 1 while viewing this "video".  You have to click the mouse in order for the video to go to the next slide.

  1. Click here for the first (best) option to get the movie. On Macs, this option may only work if you're using Internet Explorer as your browser.

  2. Click here if you have trouble installing Shockwave to view this movie or if you have any other difficulties.
