and their correct use prior to the diploma exam<br />
Appendix H<br />
You have been preparing for the Diploma Exam throughout<br />
your high school career. In your final year, as you work through<br />
the <strong>Chemistry</strong> <strong>30</strong> course, here are some tips that will help<br />
you perform as well as you possibly can in the Diploma Exam.<br />
• Involve Yourself in Class: Attend class regularly<br />
and be active in your learning by asking questions<br />
and completing assignments. If you work steadily,<br />
there will be no need to try to learn everything just<br />
before the exam.<br />
• Keep Up-to-Date with <strong>Chemistry</strong> <strong>30</strong> Material:<br />
Schedule a regular review time every week and use<br />
this time to organize your notes, review the<br />
material, and ask yourself questions about what<br />
you have learned. Use the Self Quizzes, Chapter<br />
Summaries, and other study aids.<br />
• Read and Understand the Scoring Criteria for<br />
Diploma Exams: The full scoring criteria for the<br />
different types of questions are available in the<br />
<strong>Chemistry</strong> <strong>30</strong> Information Bulletin found online.<br />
Read these criteria carefully and make sure you<br />
understand what they mean.<br />
www.science.nelson.com<br />
• Practice Writing Old Exams: Simulate the<br />
conditions of the exam to get used to sitting<br />
through an entire exam and the time constraints of<br />
writing the exam. You will also get used to the types<br />
of questions on the exam and, afterward, be able to<br />
compare your answers to the scoring criteria.<br />
• Read the Instructions: Make sure you read the<br />
instructions, directions, and questions very<br />
carefully.<br />
• Become Familiar with the Types of Questions:<br />
Read the information below and practice answering<br />
each type of question.<br />
There are three types of questions on the Diploma Exam:<br />
multiple choice, numerical response, and written response.<br />
Multiple Choice Questions<br />
Multiple choice questions are a large part of the diploma<br />
exam. Most of the multiple choice questions on the diploma<br />
exam are context-dependent. The others are called “discrete.”<br />
Context-dependent multiple choice questions use information<br />
provided in addition to the actual question. Examples<br />
of this type of question include questions 10 and 11 in the<br />
Unit 2 Review.<br />

INVESTIGATION 13.3<br />
Predicting the Reaction of Sodium<br />
Metal (Demonstration)<br />
The process of developing theories, laws, and generalizations<br />
requires that they must be tested numerous times in as many<br />
different situations as possible. This process is necessary not<br />
only to determine their validity, but also to identify exceptions<br />
that may lead to new knowledge.<br />
As part of the Design, include a list of diagnostic tests using<br />
the “If [procedure] and [evidence], then [analysis]” format<br />
for every product predicted. (This format is described in<br />
Appendix C.4.)<br />
Purpose<br />
The purpose of this demonstration is to test the five-step<br />
method for predicting redox reactions.<br />

Shaded circles indicate the parts you are expected to complete in<br />
a particular investigation report. One or more parts of an<br />
Evaluation may be required, as indicated by the numbers.<br />
Purpose<br />
Although this is usually provided, you will be expected to identify<br />
the purpose of an investigation before, during, and after<br />
your laboratory work. Most often, the purpose is to create, test,<br />
or use a chemistry concept.<br />
Problem<br />
The Problem is a specific question to be answered in the investigation.<br />
If appropriate, you should state the question in terms<br />
of manipulated and responding variables. In most cases, the<br />
problem is chosen for you. Only when creating a concept will<br />
the Purpose and the Problem be the same.<br />
Hypothesis<br />
The hypothesis is an (often untested) empirical or theoretical<br />
concept that provides a possible explanation for a natural or<br />
technological phenomenon. Only some kinds of investigations<br />
require a hypothesis, such as investigations that test a<br />
hypothesis using a general question as the Problem.<br />
Prediction<br />
The Prediction is the expected answer to the Problem<br />
according to a scientific concept (for example, a hypothesis,<br />
theory, law, or generalization) or another authority (for<br />

15. Science terms and concepts are often used to help<br />
promote a variety of new technologies marketed to<br />
consumers. One recent example is the titanium necklace or<br />
bracelet. Refer to Appendix B.4 and use the Internet to<br />
answer the following questions.<br />
(a) List some science terms and concepts that are<br />
mentioned in the promotion of this product.<br />
(b) Briefly summarize the claims implied by the<br />
manufacturer.<br />
(c) What kind of evidence is presented to justify the<br />
claims<br />
(d) Write a brief experimental design to conduct a scientific<br />
test of the claims and collect more reliable evidence.<br />

Science Process Skill Development<br />
• The only resource where students practice<br />
completing Design and Evaluation process skills<br />
during investigations — just like they will experience<br />
on the diploma exam<br />
• Clear approach and strong support for writing<br />
scientifically correct lab reports as outlined in the<br />
