Careers 9:  We started off with a little review on Presentation.  We reviewed "do's" and "don'ts" of casual business conversation, which is similar to how you interact with adults at RSS.  Peer interactions are different.  Time was spent completing 3 Up-skills booklets (Intro, Motivation, Presentation), and we discussed ways of overcoming barriers to good presentation.  We considered our responses to 5 interview questions, and we practiced interviewing with a partner.  Acting is always a component of interviews, whether they are in practice with a friend, or with a real business owner.

Chemistry 11:  We labelled the molecule drawings with the geometry name (tetrahedral, bent, planar, linear, or trigonal pyramidal) and we showed several bond angles (109.5, 120 or 180).  We spent time completing the green Solubility Lab, which is due Wednesday.  At the end, we labelled our Lab 12B molecules as either Polar or Non-Polar.  Tomorrow we will do the TRU Chemistry contest, instead of a Unit Test on Atomic Theory.  The Atomic Theory Practice test is not due Wednesday.

Chemistry 12:  Acid Base Test next Tuesday.  Due Wednesday is Unit 4 # 131-134, 136, 139.  We have 4 mini-reviews on the go:  4.11, Hydrolysis, Acids and Bases, Indicators.  Complete these and check the answers on the side counter.  Work hard!  We are in the final stretch:)
