Science 9:  We started with a short review of Sexual and Asexual Reproduction.  Section 3.4 was read and pg 92 # 1-3 & 6 - 12 (sentences) were completed, and are due on Tuesday.  We finished with a short clip on an African Water Lily from the documentary titled Sexual Encounters of the Floral Kind.

Chemistry 11 AE:  We completed procedure for Lab 2E today, and began the Qs and FUQs.

Friday, September 24th

Chemistry 11: Terry Fox Run for AE and Lab 2E for DH.

Science 9:  After a short review of Sexual and Asexual Reproduction, we went outside to collect examples of sexual and asexual reproduction in plants and fungi.  Specifically, you were asked to find moss with sporangia, fern with sori, a gill mushroom, seeds (in fruit, in cones, or bare), vegetative reproduction.  Back in the class we sketched and labelled our findings, and made squash slides of the moss sporangia.  Mushrooms and the fern were left on paper to make spore prints.

 Chemistry 11 EA.   In the first half we reviewed Significant Figures and completed Lab 3A (all Procedure, Questions 1,4 and Follow-up Questions 2 & 3.  Lab 3A is due on Friday.  In the second half we took notes on the Particles of Matter, click here to see them.  We also completed the Atoms and Molecules WS.  Read section 3.3 in your Hebdon Textbook, and complete problems # 33 - 44.

Science 9:    After a short discussion of lunch etiquette at RSS, we finished our notes on the Cell Cycle - click here to see them.  Time was given to read section 2.4 and to complete pg 52 # 1-15, 17 (half sentences, half point form).   The Mitosis Cut and Paste was finished next, by adding labels to show the stages of Mitosis and adding captions.  Color your cells too.  In the second half we did Lab 2A, where we viewed slides of cells undergoing mitosis.  We did all of the procedure, then Analysis e, f, i and l.  We finished with a discussion of Peak Height Velocity. 

 Chemistry 11:  Today I collected your Safety Map sheet.  We took notes on Significant Figures (click here to see them) and did Unit 2 # 56 & 57 after reading pgs 34 - 40.  We started Lab 3A, and will continue it Wednesday.

Science 9:  We went over pg 41 today, and a key was given to your for your cell anatomy WS.  We took notes on the Cell Cycle, watched the Amoeba Sisters' video on Mitosis, and started the Mitosis Cut and Paste.  At the very end I collected pg 41.

Science 9:  Today I collected your Pond Water sketches.  Due Tuesday is pg 41 # 1-5, 7, 12, 15 in sentences where appropriate as well as the Cell Structure Worksheet.  We also viewed this video on cell structure:  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URUJD5NEXC8 ).   On Tuesday we will learn about the cell cycle and mitosis (Section 2.4, if you like to pre-read)

Chemistry 11:  We began with a short exercise on Scientific Notation (click here to view it) .  We took notes on the Categories of Matter (click here for a copy), then filled in the third column of our Matter table from Friday.  In the third column, provide 3 descriptions for each material:  (pure or mixture), (homogeneous or heterogeneous), (element, compound, suspension, solution, mechanical mixture).  We then read sections 1.2 to 1.6, and completed the map.  On Tuesday we will read pg 34 - 40 to learn about Significant Figures, then we will complete # 55, 56, 57 in Unit 4.  Check out this short clip on Petroleum, the key source for organic chemicals.
