AREAS COVERED
1. Designing an Experiment
2. Units and density
3. Isotopes
4. Identifying ionic and covalent molecules
5. Electron configuration
6. Lewis structures
7. Converting moles and grams

Designing an Experiment
• What makes a good hypothesis?
• Design experiments by changing only a single variable – why is this important?
• What are the differences between an independent, dependent and controlled variable?
Units and density
• Know metric units for mass, length, volume, time and temperature.
