Science directing words<br />

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 />

Figure 2<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 />

Appendix<br />
