unit one:

  1. control vs. variable? dependent vs. independent variable?
  2. x vs. y : making a graph
  3. precision vs. accuracy: accuracy: actual truth, precision: how detailed
  4. mks system: kg, km, m3
  5. prefixes kilo, mega, giga, centi, milli, micro, nano
  6. unit conversion: km to millimeters
  7. temp: K, C, F
Next steps: dimensional analysis
  1. If Kona is 45 miles away, how many inches is this? (I promise, we will not use inches anymore!)
  2. Convert this into km, then into mm (scientific notation anyone?)
  3. Your computer holds 250 gB of data. How many mB, and kB is this? (cool story here about bytes and bits)
  4. Look up your body temp in °C then the temp today where you live or grew up. Convert to °F
  5. You know your weight within a few pounds, calculate this in grams
Next:
Matter, atoms, p, n, e, nucleus
chemical reactions, phase changes, 4 states of matter (4?)
fp, mp, bp, vaporization, ionization, condensation, sublimation (ax murderer becomes butcher)
periodic table, atomic number, atomic mass (why so weird?)
families/groups (columns), periods (rows)
isotopes, ions
energy levels

----------------------------------------------------
compounds vs. mixtures
chem formulas, rule of 8
solvent, solute
solubility: solids into liquids (warm them up), gases into liquids (cool them down)
pressure and solubility: bends, perrier water, no ice in your fast food drinks!
concentration: usually liquids or gases, rarely solids or plasmas
