Mini-­‐Lab:  can  metals  be  made  from  thin  air?  

What  is  chemistry?  

In  order  to  understand  chemistry,  you  must  understand  alchemy  

(LISTENING)  •  Turning  everyday  objects  into  gold  •  Obsession  in  Europe  in  the  16th  and  

17th  century  •  A  lot  of  literature  was  wri]en  about  

how  metals  formed  in  Earth  •  ArRsRc  representaRon  of  alchemists  

portray  the  fuRlity  of  their  quest  •  Many  alchemists  were  funded  by  the  

royal  families  •  People  believed  that  alchemy  could  

present  the  cure  to  the  bubonic  plague  

WRITE  (2  minutes)  

In  your  own  words:  •  What  was  alchemy?  •  When  was  alchemy  pracRced?  •  What  was  the  moRvaRon  for  alchemy?  •  What  were  people’s  a`tude  towards  alchemy?  

•  Was  alchemy  successful?  

What  is  chemistry?  

What  is  chemistry?  

•  Study  of  the  changes  in  ma]er  •  Really  exploring  how  to  change  the  properRes  of  a  substance  

•  FIRE!  •  Started  as  a  philosophical  debate  about  the  basic  “elements”  that  made  up  the  natural  world  – Earth,  wind,  water,  fire  

•  Experimental  discovery  of  the  elements  

CW:  WRITE  (2  minutes)  

•  What  are  the  similariRes  and  differences  between  alchemy  and  chemistry?  

•  How  did  the  study  of  alchemy  lead  to  the  understanding  of  modern  chemistry?

Back  to  the  Lab!  

Back  to  the  Lab!  •  DirecRons:  Answer  the  following  quesRons  based  on  your  

acRvity.  Please  answer  in  COMPLETE  SENTENCES.      1.  Compare  the  materials  before  and  ager  you  put  them  

together.  

2.  If  you  think  about  the  “old  stuff”  as  the  aluminum  foil  and  copper  chloride,  do  you  think  “new  stuff”  was  made  when  you  put  them  together?  Explain  your  ideas.  

3.  How  would  an  alchemist  explain  the  results  differently  than  a  chemist?  

HW  •  HOMEWORK  1.1  •  Direc6ons:  Read  pages  20  and  21  from  your  text  book  and  

answer  the  following  ques6ons.  1.  What  contribuRons  did  the  alchemists  make  toward  the  birth  of  chemistry?      2.  What  did  the  alchemists  fail  to  do  that  chemists  were  successful  in  doing  later  in  history?      3.  How  did  Lavoisier  help  transform  alchemy  into  what  is  known  as  modern-­‐day  chemistry?  Provide  a  piece  of  evidence  from  the  text  that  demonstrates  one  of  Lavoiser’s  contribuRons.      4.  Lavoisier’s  experiment  led  to  the  LAW  OF  CONSERVATION  OF  MATTER,  in  which  ma]er  (“stuff”)  is  neither  created  nor  destroyed.  Now,  think  back  to  your  experiment  from  class  today.  According  to  this  theory,  the  brownish-­‐rusty  stuff  on  your  aluminum  MUST  HAVE  COME  FROM  SOMEWHERE.  State  one  idea  as  to  where  you  believe  that  brownish  substance  came  from.        5.  What  you  experienced  during  lab  today  is  known  as  a  CHEMICAL  CHANGE,  in  which  ma]er  changes  into  something  completely  different.  List  three  examples  of  chemical  changes  that  you  have  seen  in  your  life.
