=Welcome to our next day of camp! I hope that we haven't bored you to tears at this point. Today we will be taking a look at Polymer Science. = = = =Consider the following: =



Power Point... Lesson Introduction

=Essential Questions:= 1. What effect(s) is the study of polymer science having on our environment? 2. How are polymers created, tested, and changed?


 * By the end of the day today, you should be able to...**
 * discuss using relevant vocabulary the change that polymer science is making in the technological world
 * understand the processes in which chemists conduct experiments along with which means are best to share their findings
 * tell how altering one element of an experiment can change the outcome


 * By the end of this lesson, you should know...**
 * how molecules wrap themselves aroudn one another in order to form a chain called polymers
 * several advances that polymer science is having in the world of technology (change)


 * By the end of this lesson, you should understand that...**


 * change can be man made and have a positive effect on the environment
 * making the simpliest of changes in a chemical experiment will affect the otucome of the product

These things are all possible through polymer science.... Let's explore some of our own!

[|Joey Chaos presents us with some points to ponder]


 * **Would you believe that all of these robots are related to chemistry?**
 * **These products were developed based on the study of polymer science.**
 * **Polymer science are molecules wrapping around themselves to create long chains.**
