Chemistry 12: Today I checked Unit 2 # 15 # 16.  We did lab 19B but this is not due.  We took notes on LeChatelier's principle and read pg 50-54.  Unit 2 # 17-25 (odd numbers only) is due on Friday.

Chemistry 11:  Today I collected Unit 5 # 6-9 (any 22 problems).  We took notes on the Molar Volume of a Gas at STP, and did Unit 5 # 11,12,16,17.  We did most of the procedure of lab 2B, Moles of Copper and Iron, but this is not due Friday.  While we waited for the Copper-Iron Exchange we did a practice quiz,  just to see how our skills are progressing .

Chemistry 12:  I did not get to see Unit 2 # 15 & 16, so please have it ready to show me on Thursday.  Today we did Lab 19B Parts I (make a dilution series) and Part II ( measure absorbance to find concentration).  Some groups will do Part II on Thursday.  No Lab homework, but I do want you to finish the WS titled "Review of 2.1 to 2.3" for Thursday.

Chemistry 11: Unit 5 # 6 & 7 (any 10 problems total) and # 8 & 9 (any 12 problems total).  Show math statements for everything and check answers along the way, paying attention to the number of digits in your final answers.  You were also given your myed login and password, and I would like you to be keeping track of your progress in Chemistry 11.

Chemistry 12:  Play with the Rates of Reaction animation.  Read Sections 2.1 and 2.2, and do # 1-13.  Review molar concentration and dilutions with this WS titled Review of Concentration.  Attached are notes on both concentration and dilutions. 

Chemistry 11:  Unit 1 Test on Monday, February 25th.  Today we did Lab 2A (Heating and Cooling Curves).  The Practice Test will be collected on Monday.

Chemistry 11:  Today we did Unit 4 # 8,9 and copied the names and formulas of 10 acids (just below # 9) into our data booklets.  We also did the Unit 1 Practice Test, and a key was put on the side counter.  There will be a Unit 1 Test on Monday, February 25th.

Chemistry 12:  Today we handed in our Rates of Reaction Practice Test and we did the Unit I test. 

Chemistry 11: Today I collected Lab 2E and 3A.  We reviewed names and formulas of ionic compounds, and learned about hydrates.  We read pg 65-73 and did exercises # 1-5 (get enough practice, there is no need to do all the problems unless it helps you) and # 6,7 (do all of these).  We finished off with a practice quiz to review measurement and calculation skills.  View the Key here.

Chemistry 12:  After a mini review we spent time learning about Ozone depletion.  Time was spent on the Practice Test, which is due on Tuesday and will be collected.  I did not get time to check Unit 1 # 54-61, so please ensure this is ready for me to see on Tuesday.  We will have our Rates of Reaction test on Tuesday, and you will be given a fresh data booklet for your test.

Career Education 8:  Today we walked down to the WorkBC office and had a 50 minutes tour.  Thanks for being terrific ambassadors for our school.  Please be sure to tell your adults at home what you learned about at WorkBC.  Navigate to their Career Trek Video library to learn about 137 different careers, which might take you some time:)  Also, your mentors have been assigned, so you can begin dialoging with your mentor on the Mentorcity platform.

Chemistry 11:   Today we wrote a Conclusion for Lab 3A, using the Lab Marking Guide and sample Discussion found on the back of the Lab Marking Guide.  I collected this today, but will gladly take it on Friday if it is not done.   We did Lab 2E today, including all the Questions and Calculations, Follow up Questions, and a Discussion.    Lab techniques to write about:  why heat the container?  why have the lid on, then slightly off, then fully off?  why add water and then evaporate it off with high temperatures?  Lab 2E is also due at the start of class on Friday.

Chemistry 12:  After a review WS (HW Quiz Unit 1 # 41-45) we learned about catalysts, watched a video describing the mechanisms at work in a Catalytic Converter, and read sections 1.10, 1.11, 1,12.  Unit I # 54 - 61 are due on Friday.  We did a pink WS on mechanisms, which is due on Friday.  Half of the Practice Test is due on Friday.  We will have a unit test on Rates of Reaction on Tuesday. 

Chemistry 12:  Nice work on Lab 18C on Monday.  If you had trouble completing it, is there any changes you can make to speed yourself up?  Today took notes on Reaction Mechanisms.  We read pg 24, 25, and section 1.9 in Hebdon.  Unit I # 41-52 is due on Wednesday.  I collected our most previous textbook work, Unit 1 # 29-33, 34-39.

Chemistry 11:  We spent a few minutes checking last day's Unit Conversions WS from the key.  We did Lab 3A, using measurements to find the thickness of Aluminum Foil.
