Science 9:  After a short warm up we added the 4 main biomolecules to our Trophic Levels notes from Monday.  We watched this clip about Biomolecules.  After the clip we looked up 5 different food items and recorded the following in a 6 column table [Food Item, Serving size, Energy content, % by mass of Carbohydrates, % by mass of Lipids. % by mass of Proteins]. The Table is due Thursday.

Science 9:  Today we took notes about Trophic Levels and the movement of energy and atoms through the biosphere.  We read section 2.4 from the old Science Probe 10.  We finished off with a Paul Nicklen TED Talk about Polar food chains.

 Friday, November 19th

Chemistry 11:  Click here to see a sample Lab 20C.  This lab is due on Monday.  To see a key for the Reactions Practice Test, click here.  Your Reactions Test will be on Tuesday.  On Monday's class we will complete the Titrations WS and I will explain any parts that students have questions about.

Science 9.  Today we worked from the Science Probe 10 text and learned a little about the Biosphere.  

 Chemistry 11:  Today we did Lab 20C and we spent 30 minutes on the Reactions Practice Test.  The Practice Test and the Lab 20C Questions and Follow-up Questions need to be done for Friday. You will get time for a Conclusion on Friday.  Reactions Test on Monday.

Senior Girls Volleyball.  Practice on Thursday 5:15 - 6:30.  Ask to be excused at 9:55 am on Friday.  Click on the link below to see the tournament draw, which has changed.

 Chemistry 11:  After a short review of Endothermic and Exothermic reactions, we watched a titration to learn proper techniques.    Lab 20C needs to be prepared for tomorrow.  You also received the Reactions Unit Practice test, which is due Friday.  Test on Monday.  Click here to see the key to the WS titled "Finding Limiting Reactant and Reactant in Excess".   Click here to see the key for the WS titled "Stoichiometry Calculations". 

Science 9:  Field Trip next class!  Meet at the Bus Stop at 8:45 for attendance, then we will drive up to the Greeley Municipal Water Treatment facility to see how our water is treated.  On the return trip you will get a deluxe tour of Sewage Treatment Facility!  How lucky are you! Dress for the weather, - we will be outside for some of the time.  Umbre

 Science 9:  Today I collected your Field Trip Forms:  next Thursday we will be traveling to the Water Treatment facility at Greeley and the Sewage Treatment facility in the industrial park.  We finished the Thermal Energy Transfer Lab today too.  Click here to see the data.  Click here to see the Part I Discussion Questions.  We will spend time finishing the Graph of Temp vs Time from Part 3 on Monday.

Chemistry 11:  Today we learned about Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions.  Read 6.6 and do Unit 6 # 70 - 80.  Finish Lab 6B, and the two legal sized stoichioimetry WS.  All due Tuesday.

 Science 9:  Today we learned that atoms of the 6 elements make up most of our bodies (CHNOPS), and we considered where our atoms were before we were born.  We also discussed energy, which is the ability to make things move.  Energy causes atoms to cycle around the globe, are energy is needed to construct the atoms in formation that is you.  Thermal Energy is transfered around the globe,  and we did a short lab on the three methods of Heat transfer:  conduction, Convection, and Radiation.
