- Lab 1:
- View the following video titled NOVA: Absolute Zero, The Conquest of Cold (first 52 mins); transcript
- Program Expectations to be recorded in your lab notebook/carbon copies will be collected for evaluation:
- 1) Document all historical people mentioned throughout the program (please use web or transcript linked above to correct all name spellings),
- 2) At ~4.50 min there is an experiment done with salt/ice/water...describe and briefly explain...
- 3) At ~8:45 min there is an experiment done by Boyle...describe and briefly explain...
- 4) What tool did Boyle need to make his research better? (hint: ~11 mins)
- 5) List the names of the 3 thermometer scales...2 are mentioned first (~12 mins) then the 3rd later...
- 6) Who proposed the erroneous "Caloric Theory"?
- 7) Who disproved the "Caloric Theory"?...and what did this persosn have in common with the person who proposed the theory?
- 8) What was Tudor's 1st "ice" ship called?
- 9) What was the name of the book written by Carnot?
- 10) What job did James Prescott Joule hold while developing his contribution to thermodynamics?
- 11) Who is attributed to inventing the frozen food industry?
- 12) Who is attributed to inventing "air cooling"?
- Program Expectations to be recorded in your lab notebook/carbon copies will be collected for evaluation:

Announcements
- 1) If you have not done so, please review the syllabus linked here.
- 2) Question: Is your computer up to speed? During this course, we will be using software such as Excel, WORD, Igor, etc. Although there are computers available on campus (specifically in CSB 373), it is most convenient for you to install this software on your computer (laptop preferred). It may be the case that a "ChromeBook" or other cloud-based OS device may have sufficed in the past, it will not work in PChem...but computers will be avaialbe in CSB 373. Please see/email me with any questions.
Class Assignments
- 1) I would like for you to watch the following video that discusses being proactive vs. reactive. I have found that PChem students who are most successful would describe themselves as being proactive. I think you will agree that we should all shoot for being proactive in our lives, but this is a clear skill that even I am working on improving. The video moves quickly, so I suggest you just listen the first time, then consider coming back to this view it again at another time. We will discuss this more in class when we meet in person.
- Proactive vs. Reactive
- 2) If the above material is interesting, consider learning more about Stephen Covey or how to use the Franklin Planner.
...now on to PChem...
- 3) It is time to start reading the text. Please note, that reading any science textbook is NOT like reading other documents. The information is presented in a very dense way...this means that there is a lot of scientific language that needs to be read multiple times in order to make sense. There are parts of your textbook that when i read them, i ask myself what was the author thinking be including this...crap!
- - let's start by reviewing the MATH ESSENTIALS 1 section (Page 1-3). As you might already know, PChem uses the language of mathematics to organize its contents. Although Calc 1 and Calc 2 are prerequisites.
