Chemistry 11:  We completed the WS titled Atoms and Molecules to review topics from the last few days, then we learned about measuring in Science.  We completed the Measurement and Significant Figures WS, then we prepared Lab 2D for tomorrow.  Due next class are the two worksheets.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.

Science 8:  After reviewing microscope anatomy and care and handling, we completed a mini-lab where we made a dry mount of human hair, and a wet mount of a lower case letter e from a newspaper.  We made sketches of the field on our lab report, and these were handed in at the end of the class.  Page 39 will NOT be due Wednesday.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

Science 8:  We began by going through page 31 # 1-6 (in sentences), then we learned about the parts of a microscope and how to care and handle them properly.  With our partner we used classroom glassware to measure 90 mL of water two different ways.  In the last 30 minutes we read about Cell Theory (page 31 and 32) and completed page 39 # 1, 2, 4-10 in sentences.   Page 39 will be due on Wednesday, and you'll be given some time on Tuesday to finish it.    Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

Chemistry 11:  We reviewed a little to start off, then we wrote brief notes on the particles that make up matter.  We read section 3.3 and completed Unit 3 # 33-44 in point form.  When accomplishing work in Hebdon, please check your work against the answer key periodically to ensure accuracy.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.

Chemistry 11:  After an intro to Scientific Notation WS we added to our Chemistry Notes from Thusday.  We filled in the last column of the 3 column table.  We read through the Lab Safety Rules in our textbook (pg vi and vii), then completed a short practice safety quiz - this is not due Monday.   

Science 8:  We reviewed cell anatomy first, then drew an animal cell on our notes from last class.  We read pages 25 - 30 and completed page 31 # 1-6. in sentences.  These are due on Monday.  We watched the last 5 minutes of this clip about cell structure and function.  

Chemistry 11:  After reviewing the answer key for yesterday's KMT WS, we took brief note on Chemistry and viewed 14 sample of matter, describing their physical properties.  In the second half, we read sections 1.3 to 1.6 and completed the Safety Map.  We looked up WHMIS symbols on the web and sketched/labelled them on the back of the map.  Due next class are all your supplies (see your outline for a complete list), the safety map, and the WHMIS symbols. Everyone received their pink periodic tables today.

Science 8:  We looked at a list of safety rules and categorized them according to 4 different categories - this was completed on the back of the DIY safety map from yesterday.  We then learned about the parts of cells, took brief notes, and watched this clip.  We labelled cell anatomy on this WS and colored each part a different color.  In the final minutes, we discussed expectations (maybe you call these "rules"), just out of formality, because everyone seems to know how to succeed in our class already without being told:).  Next class I will want to check your supplies (pencils, pens, calculator, ruler, binder, paper, textbook, protractor).

Chemistry 11:  After reviewing the materials you'll need for this course, we went straight into the Kinetic Molecular Theory with a demo and small assignment (KMT WS).  This animation helped us with our learning.  We fetched textbooks from the library as well.  In the final 20 minutes we read section 1.1 in our Hebdon Text and completed the map as prescribed in the text.  I checked for signed outlines.  Due next class is the KMT WS and the classroom/hallway/fire escape map. 

Science 8:  We reveiwed the tools you will need to learn in Science 8, then we went through all the classroom safety equipment (fire extinguisher, fire blanket, fume hood, emergency gas shut-off button, eye-wash, emergency shower, and eyewear drawer).  We constructed a full-page map showing all this equipment, as well as the nearest fire pull, nearest fire extinguisher, and fire exit route.  After signing out textbooks from the library, we read pages xviii and xix in the pre-text section.  To finish, we spoke about many of the ways to become involved in the culture of our school (arts, sports, volunteerism, etc).  

Science 8:  Texts were handed in, then I collected the Practice Final Exam.  We wrote our Final Exam at 9:00, and it took a little over one hour on average.  Those that finished early constructed a paper model of a trilobite (an important index fossil). That was your last class of Science for the year; have a terrific summer.   Click here to see the Sci8 assignment log. 

Chemistry 12:  Nice work!  After a short discussion and practice round with Le Chatelier's Principle, we spent time on Practice Final #1 and Practice Final #2.  Click here to see the key for #1, and here for key to #2.  Your final will be tomorrow.   Click here to see the Ch12 assignment log.

 Science 10:  We began with a review of nuclear science - we reviewed the symbols for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation and we looked at this animation of alpha decay and this animation of beta decay.   We started the practice final exam, and you will be given time to work on this at our next meeting.  Spend some time preparing for your final exam next week, and look at the block order to see how your schedule works.  Also, you will get a fresh databooklet for your final exam.  Spend some time memorizing any cool notes you have on your tattered yellow databooklet.  Click here to see the Sci10 assignment log. 

Science 8:  After a short q and a session for the Geology Practice Test, we reviewed waves (amplitude, wavelength, calculating frequency of crankshaft, longitudinal vs transverse).  Following this we completed the Practice Final while Mr. Gale and Vera marked your Geology Practice Test.  This was returned to you by the end of class - please review any errors you made.  Your Geology Test will be on Monday afternoon.  Ensure you have a ruler and calculator for next week's classes.  Your Final Exam, with all topics included, will be on June 17th in the morning, and you will get a fresh databooklet for your exam.  Spend some time memorizing any cool notes you have on your tattered blue databooklet.  Return your text that day.   Click here to see the Sci8 assignment log. 

Chemistry 12:  Electrochemistry Unit Test today.  Please spend some time reviewing for your final exams next week.  You will get a fresh databooklet for your final.   Click here to see the Ch12 assignment log.
