Science 8:  Yes!  You're done!  Thanks for all your hard work and have a terrific Semester 2!  Please pick up your binder contents by Wednesday, January 28th.  After this day, the paper will be recycled.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We spent time looking over the Practice Final and considering our mistakes and forgotten things.  We did some practice on areas that need the most work.  We did a second practice final too.  Click here to see the answer key.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

 Chemistry 11 DH:  Yeah!  Its done!  Hope you have a terrific semester 2.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

 

Chemistry 11:  We completed the 60 minute Mock Final today.  Period DH received theirs by the end of the double block.  AE will get it back next class.  Final Exam for DH Tuesday morning.

Friday, January 16th

Science 8:  After a review of density, states of matter, and relative age, we did Lab 12E from a hand-out.  We ordered a number of index fossils from youngest to oldest, creating a "geological column".  In the final minutes we watched a little more of National Geographic "Volcano" and spoke about preparing for your final exam (memorize class notes, redo portions of assignments, arrange a quizfest with a friend).  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We wrote the Organic Unit Test after handing in the Practice Test.  We spent the remaining time on Lab 7B and on the 3 year end review WS.  Click here to see the YER of Reactions answer key. Click here to see the answer key for the Solutions YER. and here for the Moles YER key.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We got going on Lab 7B right away.  In the second half we completed the Organic Practice Test, which is due Friday.  Lab 7B is not due Friday.  Click here to see the Organic Practice Test  answer key.   Organic Chemistry Test on Friday.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We marked the WS from Monday (Functional Groups), then we got going on Lab 7B.  In the second half we completed the Organic Practice Test, which is due Friday.  Lab 7B is not due Friday.  Click here to see the Organic Practice Test  answer key.   Organic Chemistry Test on Friday.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

Science 8:  For about 30 minutes we reviewed cells, viruses, immune system, digestive system, and respiratory system.  Studying for your final exam involves working through your binder, and trying to remember the language, skills, and ideas that we learned about.  We then finished the Volcano Notes, and added a table for recording Volcano Names and Hazards.  We watched National Geographic Volcano! for 28:00, then we did Lab 17A Clocking Tectonic Plates.  Ms Weber was kind enough to create a package of condensed notes for studying - be sure to thank her for this.  No work is due for Friday.   Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

Tuesday, January 13th

Science 8:  We wrote brief notes on Volcanoes.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We took brief notes on alcohols, then complete WS 9, which is due Tuesday.  We also spent time finishing Lab 16D and we began some"Year End Review" exercises.  Click here to see the answer key for the Solutions YER. and here for the Moles YER key.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

 Science 8:   We started with a short look at the time table and a review of geology & biology, then we handed in page 508 # 3-10, 12 and 13 in fine sentences.  We discussed the rock cycle again, showing how one rock family can change into another family through heating/weathering/erosion/deposition/compaction.  Everyone drew their own rock cycle, then we wrote brief notes on Plate Tectonics. No work is due Tuesday;  please spend some time reviewing coursework from the beginning of the year.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We took brief notes on alcohols, then complete WS 9, which is due Tuesday.  We also spent time finishing Lab 16D and we began some"Year End Review" exercises.  Click here to see the answer key for the Solutions YER. and here for the Moles YER key.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

 Science 8:   We reviewed 3 types of boundaries, then watched this clip, this clip, and this clip to help us. understand.  Of course, this longer clip is also helpful.  We completed page 508 # 3-10, 12 and 13 in fine sentences - these are due on Monday.  The final 15 minute was spent on learning about the rock cycle.    Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We marked WS#6 front side together, then we wrote brief notes on Aromatics.  We read section 10.5 on Aromatics and completed Unit 10 # 30, 31, then 28.  The remainder of the time was spent on Lab 16D (Questions 1-5 only).  All this is due on Monday.  This is one of two weekends remaining before final exams - now a terrific time to review for your favourite final exams.     Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.
