Student name: PAL – concept map So far in CHM 4 you should have covered textbook sections 3.1-3.6 and 4.1-4.6. These sections contained a lot of terminology that at first might seem disconnected. Today your PAL team will make a concept map out of the material you have covered so far. Scientists believe that concept maps model how our brains store information; therefore making a concept map is an excellent way to organize and learn new material. Below is a sample concept map based on the sentences “Chemistry is the study of matter. Matter is anything that has volume and mass.” Chemistry examples: water air people rock is the study of has Matter Mass has NOT examples: light thoughts love Volume In the above example, the main concept is “matter”. The terms “mass”, “volume”, and “chemistry” are all supporting concepts. Though there are none in this concept map, it is possible for supporting concepts to have additional supporting concepts. On the next page is a list of concepts that your PAL team will make into a concept map. As you work on your concept map, consider the following: • • • There is not just one right way to organize your concept map. The layout can be changed as you develop the map. To make this easier, you may want to use a whiteboard or Post-it notes which can be moved around. Each concept should appear only once on the map (though it can connect to many other concepts… like a giant web). • Arrows and connecting phrases explain the relationship between concepts. • Examples can also be added to clarify concepts. Start with the concept map from the previous page (the four highlighted terms below) and add all of the additional terms below. Feel free to use your textbook. For all the terms labeled with an *, also provide examples as part of your concept map. Chemistry Electron Matter * Atomic number Mass Alkali metals Volume Compound Solid Metalloids Scanning tunneling microscope Gas Physical properties * Mixture Compressible Neutron Halogen Periodic table Pure substance Group Molecules Homogeneous * Metals Element Properties Chemical properties * Crystalline Transition metals Heterogeneous * Chemical symbol * Atoms Family Proton Nonmetals Liquid Phases Charge Nucleus Noble gas Amorphous
