Noticed your grades slipping, care to elaborate?
Deodie
5/26/2024
sir…..i can’t seem to do any science practicals anymore because of my size…i sighed sadly
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Your size? You mean your weight? Or did you mean something else? Be specific, Deodie. Don't beat around the bush.
Deodie
5/26/2024
i-i meant m-my….m-male endowment…..sir….it’s getting hard to reach the chemicals…i felt sad and embarrassed
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Male endowment, huh? Alright, let's get to the point then. You're finding it difficult to access the chemicals due to your...
Deodie
5/26/2024
y-yes sir…..i nodded sadely
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Well, I suppose we can find a solution to this little predicament of yours. How about we schedule some one-on-one sessions after school?
Deodie
5/26/2024
o-one on one s-sessions…..? i asked curiously
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Yes, one-on-one sessions. I'll make sure I give you extra attention and help you overcome your... challenges.
Deodie
5/26/2024
t-that would be….really nice of you sir….thank you very much i smiled happily
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
You're welcome, Deodie. Just remember, these sessions will be strictly professional. No funny business, understood?
Deodie
5/26/2024
yes sir….i nodded
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Good. Now, let's start by creating a plan tailored to your needs. grabs a notepad and pen
Deodie
5/26/2024
alright…..what should i call you sir…?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
You can call me Mr. Xavier, Deodie. Now, let's begin by identifying the specific areas where you need improvement.
Deodie
5/26/2024
o-okay sir….mr xaiver….i’ll list them out for you….
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Excellent, Deodie. I'm all ears. Go ahead and list out the areas where you need improvement.
Deodie
5/26/2024
well sir…..i have problems with mass, volume and density…and also some problems with acid and base
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Ah, I see. Mass, volume, and density, as well as acid and base properties. Those are fundamental concepts in chemistry.
Deodie
5/26/2024
i know but….i just really struggle with them especially with the experiments…i feel like they are too complicated for me especially since i’m…..well….you know….small….i said sadly
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
I understand your struggles, Deodie. But remember, everyone learns at their own pace.
Deodie
5/26/2024
yeah i guess so…..so what now sir…?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Now, Deodie, we will start by breaking down each concept into simpler terms.
Deodie
5/26/2024
alright…that sounds good….i nodded
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Great. Let's start with the concept of mass and volume. I want you to understand that mass is the amount of matter in an object, while volume is the amount of space an object occupies. Do you understand, Deodie?
Deodie
5/26/2024
ohhhh i get it now…..mass is how heavy something is and volume is how big something is…right…?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Precisely, Deodie. Well done! Now, let's move on to density. Density is defined as the ratio of an object's mass to its volume.
Deodie
5/26/2024
d-density….then if mass is how heavy something is and volume is how big something is…then d-density must be how heavy something is compared to how big it is right…?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
That's absolutely correct, Deodie! Density is a measure of how tightly packed the particles within an object are. The more massive an object is compared to its volume, the higher its density. Now, let's practice calculating densities together.
Deodie
5/26/2024
a-alright sir…i smiled
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Excellent, Deodie! I'm proud of how quickly you're grasping these concepts. Now, let's take this learning to the next level.
Deodie
5/26/2024
o-okay sir…how would you like me to do that….?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
We'll start by conducting an experiment to demonstrate the relationship between mass, volume, and density.
Deodie
5/26/2024
ohhhh ok sir…i think i’m ready for that….
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Excellent! Let's gather the necessary materials and get started. starts collecting beakers, measuring cups, and a balance
Deodie
5/26/2024
okay sir…here’s the stuff you needed…..i handed you all the stuff you needed
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Thank you, Deodie. Now, let's proceed with the experiment. begins setting up the equipment and demonstrating the procedure
Deodie
5/26/2024
A-alright….i was watching
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Now, Deodie, pay close attention to the procedure. We'll start by measuring the mass of this cube-shaped object using the balance.
Deodie
5/26/2024
Ohhhh alright….i got close to the balance then put the object onto it….then measured the object’s mass
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Excellent, Deodie! Now, let's measure the volume of the same object using the measuring cups. hands Deodie a measuring cup
Deodie
5/26/2024
o-okay….i carefully filled the measuring cup with water until it reached the brim….then poured the water into a graduated cylinder….then read the volume…it was 20ml
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Very good, Deodie! Now, let's calculate the density of this object using the mass and volume measurements.
Deodie
5/26/2024
D-dense-ity….i know what that is…it’s how heavy something is compared to how big it is right…?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Absolutely, Deodie! Density is indeed a measure of how tightly packed the particles within an object are. Now, let's plug in the values we obtained into the formula and calculate the density together.
Deodie
5/26/2024
O-okay…..density=mass/volume….then plugging in my numbers i get…7….then is that the final answer…?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
Almost there, Deodie. Remember to units! The final answer should be in units of grams per milliliter g/mL.
Deodie
5/26/2024
g-g-per-m-milliliter…?
mr xaiver
5/26/2024
That's right, Deodie. Grams per milliliter. Let's convert the mass from grams to milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, and 1 gram is equal to 1 milliliter. So, we can convert the mass from grams to milliliters by dividing it by 1,000.
