Let's go through the process of formulating an answer for this task. The task involves two steps: writing down initial agreements or disagreements with given statements, and then reconsidering these initial thoughts after reading a lesson.
### Step 1: Initial Agreement or Disagreement
1. Statement 1: "Things that have no mass are not matter."
- Before reading the lesson, you might think about what constitutes matter and the role of mass in defining it. You decide that you Agree (A) with this statement because traditionally, matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space.
2. Statement 2: "The arrangement of particles is the same throughout a mixture."
- Before learning more, you might reflect on mixtures and their properties. You decide to Disagree (D) with this statement because a mixture is usually a combination of different substances where the particles are not uniformly arranged in the same way throughout.
3. Statement 3: "An atom that makes up gold is exactly the same as an atom that makes up aluminum."
- Initially, you would likely Disagree (D) with this statement, as you know that different elements have unique atoms with distinct properties such as different numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
So, before reading the lesson, your initial thoughts are:
- Statement 1: Agree (A)
- Statement 2: Disagree (D)
- Statement 3: Disagree (D)
### Step 2: After Reading the Lesson
After reading the lesson, you revisit these statements to see if your understanding has changed. According to the results:
- Statement 1, 2, and 3: Your opinions remain unchanged as the lesson did not provide new information that altered your understanding.
Thus, after reading the lesson, your stance is still:
- Statement 1: Agree (A)
- Statement 2: Disagree (D)
- Statement 3: Disagree (D)
### Conclusion
Your initial answers and final answers are as follows:
- Before Reading: ['A', 'D', 'D']
- After Reading: ['A', 'D', 'D']
This means that you neither added more details nor changed your initial agreements or disagreements with each of the statements after going through the lesson. This consistency indicates a strong initial understanding of the concepts discussed in the statements.
