We did part 2 of the cell Lab, and we viewed and recorded the structure of Paramecium Cells. Paramecium are unicellular creatures, meaning that each cell is an individual. They live in Williamson's lake, but we viewed preserved cells on prepared slides. Click here to see Paramecium swimming, using their cilia. I collected the Onion Lab. We started on Pg 39 # 1-10 in sentences, and it will be due on Tuesday.

Chemistry 11: We began with a short review of Endo and Exothermic Reactions, followed by the Titration Calculations WS. In the second half we began with our next unit, Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table. We made simple paper models of atoms or ions, showing the electrons, protons, and neutrons within. Only the Titration Calc WS is due Friday. Our Reactions test will be on Tuesday.
Science 8: Today I collected pg 31 # 1-6 as well as the "More About Cells" placemat. We took notes on Cell Anatomy and Cell Theory. A quiz on Microscope anatomy followed. In the second half we did a lab where we observed the cells in onions before and after they were stained. We "drew the field", meaning we made a circle and sketched a few of the cells we observed, labelling any structures that were visible. In the last few minutes we watched this video clip, then with our partner we verbally labelled the 15 structures on the cell quiz, although #4, 5, 8, and 15 are not for Science 8 . On Friday we will have a similar practice quiz.
Science 8: We began by going through pg 31 # 1-6, which will be collected tomorrow. We read pgs 29 to 35, and we wrote brief notes on the placemat that we constructed together. In the last part we discussed the anatomy of a microscope and there will be quiz on the Microscope parts on Wednesday.

On Thursday, you will do Lab 20C and try out your first titrations.
Science 8: We began with a short session on self assessing our academic effort and we set some individual goals for Term 2. Then a short review of optics, followed by an experiment. You and your partner's research question was: "Does a heavier mass increase the frequency of a pendulum?". As scientists, you devised a procedure, followed it, and recorded data. Thats all you had to do for this today. Click here to see the key to the written response of our Practice Test. I will give you the answers to the multiple choice section tomorrow. Our Optics Test is tomorrow, Wednesday.
