FINAL EXAM CHECKLIST

It is YOUR job to prepare for your final exam! However, we will be reinforcing material in class through review and our power point presentations. I have prepared a check list for you to evaluate how prepared you are on EACH topic we covered. Please use this as you prepare for the exam.

TOPICS COVERED ON THE FINAL EXAM

1.  Variables, Experimental Design (independent, dependent, control, conclusion, experiment examples)

2.  Proper graphing (making axes labels, an appropriate scale, accurate title)

3.  Measurements, equipment, how to use it, and Metric labels (linear, perimeter, area, solid volume, liquid volume, volume by displacement, mass, and weight)

4.  Density (formula, how to calculate it, float vs. sink, as a constant)

5.  Physical vs. Chemical Properties

6.  Physical vs. Chemical Changes

7.  Phases of Matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma)

8.  Phase changes (boiling, melting, condensation, sublimation, freezing, evaporation)

9.  Basic classification of Matter (element, compound, mixture: solution, suspension, colloid)

10. Development of the Atomic Model (scientists, ideas and models)

11. Basic parts of an atom (proton, neutron, electron: charge and location)

12. Isotopes (What are they?, What are they used for?, example)

13. Basic Periodic Table (atomic #, mass #, calculating p’s, e’s’ and n’s)

14. Periodic Table arrangement and patterns (groups, periods, patterns

15. Types of elements and qualities (metals, nonmetals, metalloids and noble gases)

16. Ionic Bonds (type of elements, how charges are formed, qualities, example)

17. Covalent Bonds (type of elements, how charges are formed, qualities, example)

18. Binary Compounds (how to make them, how to write and name them, example)

19. Polyatomic Ions (how they make compounds, how to write and name them, example)

20. Speed (formula, constant, average, instantaneous, graph analysis)

21. Newton’s First Law of Motion (explain, examples)

22. Newton’s Second Law of Motion (explain, examples)

23. Newton’s Third Law of Motion (explain, examples)

24. Balance (what it is and how it relates to force and movement, examples)

25. Types of energy (chemical, mechanical, electrical, solar, etc… and transformations)
