Science 8: We began with a review of density, then we read pgs 260 and 261. We competed the "What to do" section of activity 7-6 on page 262, writing in quality sentences. In the second half we created a heating curve for a mystery substance (Temperature vs Time graph), which allowed us to determine the melting point and boiling point. From this we could determine if the substance was water, wax, sulfur, nitrogen, or lead. In the last few moments we spoke about the proper way to welcome a TOC into our classroom because Mr. Gale will be away on Friday. Both the heating curve graph and pg 262 # 1-6 are due Friday and will be collected.
Tuesday Sept 20, 2022

Chemistry 11: Today we began with the Density Lab, and we reviewed the requirements for a well written lab report. The lab was collected, but if you needed one day to tidy it up I will take it on Tuesday. We did a worksheet to practice measurement and significant Figure skills, then we prepared Lab 3A for Tuesday. The last part of the day was spent discussing the Alberta Post Secondary Fair, which is taking place Tuesday morning.
