Chemistry 12:  Today we learned how to write Formula Equations, Complete Ionic Equations, and Net Ionic Equations for precipitation reactions.  We did the WS titled "Precipitation Reactions" as we performed the reactions at our desks.  We also prepared a sample of our saturated Copper Sulphate solution for evaporation over the break. This way we can calculate the concentration of our saturated solution.

Career Education 9:

1) Start with a few short clips about different trades, and a longer video on being a "nurse practitioner".

2)  Discuss Goals:  SMART is a good acronym.  Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time dependent
ex. 1)  I will try harder
ex. 2) I will buy a car before I am 20
ex. 3) I will win the steeplechase at Valleys this May.
ex.  4) I will be 6 feet tall by my 16th birthday

3) Log on to Mentorcity and do Module 4.1 to 4.8.  Complete your profile if this is not yet done.  Follow the instructions on the Mentorcity platform.

4)  Watch this video on Motivation, then complete the Upskills Motivation Work booklet.

Chemistry 11:  After going over the answer to the practice test, we did Lab 4D (all Questions, Follow-up Questions, and a Conclusion).  The lab is not due on Friday, I would rather you prepared for Friday's Moles Unit Test (Chapter 5).  On Friday I will collect your Practice Test at the start of the class.

Chemistry 12:  We did our Equilibrium Unit Test in the first half.  In the second half we reviewed/learned various topic to do with solutions.  Read 3.1 and 3.2.  Do Unit 3 # 1-12,15,18,20(a-d), due Friday.

Career Education 9:

Today we started with a short review of different education paths after high school finishes.  We logged into Mentorcity to create our profiles, then we logged out.  We spent time working on the booklets for Softskills and Accountability.  If there is time, begin the booklet on Motivation.

Chemistry 12:  After a short review WS we spent time on the Unit 2 Practice test.  There will be a test on Unit 2 (Equilibrium Chemistry) tomorrow.  I will collect the Practice test, as well as Unit 2 # 52-58 and 60-62. 

Chemistry 11:  After a short review we worked on the Moles Unit Practice Test and we prepared Lab 4D.  Your practice test is due tomorrow.  There will be a Moles test on Friday.

Career Education 9:

First, watch this video on soft skills, and fill in a few blanks on your hand-out.  Then watch this short video on Accountability, and answer one more reflection question.  Work on the "Upskills for Work" booklet.

Navigate to Mentor City and sign up.  Complete Basic Information/Employment/Competencies.  Be professional by being accurate and using proper grammar and capitalization.  Let me know if you would like to be connected with a real live mentor - someone who is attending post secondary and is willing to dialogue with you as you complete units on this platform.

Chemistry 12:  Due Tuesday is U2 # 60-62 and part of your Equilibrium Practice Test.  Next class we will do the practice test and a quiz on 60 - 62, so please have part of the Practice test done.

Chemistry 11:  Unit 5 # 47-52, 64, 69.  I collected the remaining Standard solutions labs today.

Career Explorations A (Ms. Crucil's English):  Today we watched short clip's on 4 more trades from the ITA's short series of videos.  We also looked at WorkBC's Career Trek video series, and watched the episode on "Biologists".  Only 136 more careers to explore.  In Mentorcity, you will be doing the modules in the 1's, 5's and 6's.  In myBlueprint, we are working our way through the instructions on the white sheet from Monday.

Chemistry 11:  Today we made a Standard Solutions, then wrote the usual report only this time we wrote a detailed procedure instead of answering problems or writing a conclusion.  This is due Monday.  I did not get a chance to check Unit 5 # 59 and # 61, so please have this ready to show me on Monday.

Chemistry 12: Today I collected Unit 2 # 47-50.  We did some examples with problems that required a variable.  Due for Monday is U2 # 52-58.  The answers are posted below in blue.  Test on Wednesday.

52.  [SO3] = .56 M
52.  [SO3] = .56 M
53.  [Cl2] = .229 M
54.  Shift to products; Q = 6.9
#55  [CO] = 1.17 M;   
#56  0.639 mol Tl+;   
#57  Keq = .044;

58.   0.098 mol H2S

Career Explorations A (Grade 10, Ms Crucil's class):  Today we watched short clips on 4 different trades after we had a short review of education paths, digital footprints, and trades.  The ITA is the Industrial Trades Authority, a provincial government sponsored organization that regulates trades training and certification.  We spent just a few minutes on Mentor City (module 1.0 to 1.7, 5.0 to 5.8, and 6.0 to 6.8.   

Wednesday, March 6, 2019

Chemistry 12:  Today I collected U2 # 36-46 as well as Lab 19B.  We took notes on Keq calculations, and did U2 # 57-50.  The answers are in blue below.  We will have an Equilibrium Unit Test next week, on Wednesday.

Chapter 2 Answers:

47.  Keq = 5.0

48.  Keq = 3.0

49. a)  Keq = 0.013

49. b)  Keq = 0.93

50.  a) Q = 0.89, so shift to Products

50.  b)  Q = 7.5  so shift to Reactants


50.  c)  Q = 4 so no shifting required

Chemistry 11:  I collected the last few Lab 4B's.  We discussed with examples how to find the empirical formula from the Percent composition, and we did U5 # 46 a,c,e j,h,k,j.  In the last 30 minutes we took notes on Molar Concentration, read U5.6, and did # 59 and 61.  All of this textbook practice is due Friday.  Expect a unit test on Moles next week, towards the end.

Tuesday, March 5, 2019

Chemistry 11:  Today I collected Unit 5 # 22-24 (any 12 problems, total).  We spent some time discussing Percent composition by mass, and U5 # 44 and 45 (any 10 problems, total) was assigned and is due Wednesday.  Lab 4B is due Wednesday too.

Chemistry 12:  Unit 2 # 36-46 is due Wednesday.   Lab 19B due Wednesday.
