Chemistry 11  (AE and DH) :  The moles Practice Test was handed in first.  We completed the Moles Unit Test today, then spent time ensuring that these items are complete:   U5 # 78-82, 87, 88 and the WS Writing Chemical Reaction Equations.

Science 8:  After a short review of elements we watched this clip about Mercury, the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.  We spent time completing page 259 # 1-8, 10 and page 265 # 1-3, which are due on Monday.  We began Lab 10-3 by making a kit of solutions.

Science 8:   First we went through the Energy WS (# 1,2 only), then we spent some time learning about Elements.  Everyone was given their own periodic table, and we completed a placemat and observed some sample of elements.   This video showed the element "Gold" is some detail.  The Period Table of Videos has a segment for each element.   Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  Test next class on the Moles Unit.  We began with a review of key terms as well as some CLE info (certificates/degrees/diplomas/CofQ's).  Everyone was assigned a dilution to make from concentrated stock solution.  With a partner students calculated the volume of stock solution to take, then this was diluted with water to create the final diluted solution.    The remainder of the class was spent finishing/correcting the Moles Practice test, which we did on Friday.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

 Science 8:   We reviewed changes of state and the Kinetic Molecular Theory first, the we took brief notes on Energy.  We read pages 390 to 394 in the really old Science Probe 9 book, then we started the Energy WS but this is not due Tuesday.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We learned how to find the final concentration when mixing two liquids (maybe water plus  a solution, or two solutions of differing concentrations).   We did U5 # 78-80, 87 and 88.  I collected the practice test today (period H) or you marked it from an answer key.  Click here to see the MC answers.  Click here to see the WR answers.  Test on Wednesday or Thursday on Unit 5 (Moles Unit).  I will collect the practice test from everyone on the Wed/Thurs class.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

Science 8:   We reviewed changes of state and the Kinetic Molecular Theory first, then a little time was given to finish the WS titled Measurement Intro.  We then completed the density lab, where we measured and calculated to find the density of  4 materials (a metal, a non metal solid, water, and a colored mystery liquid).    Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We learned how to make a standard solution today.  After a short demo, everyone made their own unique solution with a partner.  Everyone wrote a lab report with the usual sections (Purpose, Materials, Procedure, etc., and we added a few questions on to the end to practice molarity skills (60c, 68, 69).  This is due Friday.  In the second half we took brief notes on Chemical Reactions, then we read 6.1 and 6.2, and finally we completed a WS titled Writing Chemical Reaction Equations.  We will do the Moles Unit Practice Test on Friday, and a Moles test on the double block next week.   Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

Grade 8 Boys Volleyball.  Practice Friday at 3:30 and Sunday at 7:00.  Click here to view the league schedule.

Chemistry 11: We took brief notes on Molar Concentration, then we read pages 86 - 89 and completed Unit 5 # 59 and 61-64.  A little time was spent on Lab 4D, which is due next class.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.

Science 8:  We melted some Wood's metal as part of a discussion about the Kinetic Molecular Theory.  After writing some brief notes together, we read pates 246 - 249 and completed page 249 # 1-6 in sentences.  These are due on Thursday.  This PhET animation shows the KMT visually quite well.  We finished with a short measuring exercise, but this is not due Thursday.   Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

Grade 8 Boys Volleyball.  Everyone is asked to arrive at 4:00 Wednesday to help with setting up the gym:  2 courts, perimeter and team chairs, tables, perfect net hight.  Playing Wednesday October 15th at home are Jack, Hugo, Caleb, Mateo, Phil, Ollie, Darcy, Fionn, Cole, Harper, North, Vincent, Gaurav, Max, Dylan, and Dawson.    This is the schedule for score keeping:

5:00   Jack, Mateo, Hugo, Harper

6:00  Cole, Caleb, Vincent, Gaurav
