The Chemistry Book

Lesson Content
There are three parts to this lesson.

Part I: The Composition Book

The Composition Book
Students should purchase a 200 page, wide-ruled composition book. Major stores have these for sales for approximately $1.00 plus tax. Please do not substitute a smaller composition book. Everyone will be on the same page and we want to make sure you don't run out of room.

You'll want to purchase this book immediately so that we can start using it in class. The composition book is used to organize your chemistry notes. You will be able to use these notes during quizzes and major exams, unless your instructor determines you do not need it.

Page numbers
Page numbers are placed at the bottom left or right sides of the pages. All odd numbers are on the right side. All even numbers are on the left side. All page numbers are in Hindu-Arabic, and neatly circled.

The Table of Contents
Please follow the example so that each unit is properly organized. Watch the layout for each page. Do not create your own way of writing the table of contents.

Lesson Titles
Once the table of contents is properly written then label each page with the lesson number and title. Underline the lesson number and title.

Tabs
Create one inch tabs so that you can easily find the units we will be discussing throughout the year. Cut carefully or you'll be starting over.

The Candle Activity

The Candle Activity compromises a series of activities and demonstrations to help students connect the history of chemistry with an important lecture series by Michael Faraday on the history of the candle. ^[1]
