Metrics and stoichiometry;
Will and I reviewed the stoichiometric methods for conversion we learned at the end of his chemistry class. I asked him to convert some units in grams into kilograms using this method. After some practice, I gave him a test on metric conversions. Once he had finished, we discussed the metric system. I reminded him of the ladder diagram and the mnemonic phrase used to remember the order in which the metric prefixes are arranged. We listed the prefixes and what they translate to; for example, kilo means thousand, and centi means one of a hundred. Homework: memorize the prefixes for the metric system from kilo to mili.
