 Science 8:  After a short review  we completed Lab 5-3 (all procedure & all questions).   This is due Wednesday. 

Chemistry 12:  We started with the WS titled Mini review of 4.1 to 4.4.  After writing brief notes on the Dissociation of Water, we read section 4.8 and completed # 28-30. The remainder was spent on Lab 20B, which is due Friday.  

Chemistry 11:  We mixed 500 mL of 2.0 M HCl with 500 mL of 2.0 M NaOH, to see evidence that water was produced.  We wrote a conclusion for Lab 20C, then spent time finishing the Stoichiometry Calculations  WS.  The Lab is due Thursday, and the WS due Friday.  Test on Monday (unit 6 & 7 in Hebdon).

 Science 8: We took brief notes on Reflection, and we drew ray diagrams to show shadows and the Law of Reflection.  We finished with Lab 5-2, which can readily be done at home.

Chemistry 12:  We took brief notes on Strong and Weak Acids, then we read section 4.6 and completed Unit 4 # 21-27.  A little time was provided for completing the Questions and Follow-up Questions for Lab 20B, which is due on Friday.  We will not do a conclusion for this lab.

Chemistry 11:  We completed the Titration WS, and the remainder of the class was spent on the Questions and Follow-up Questions for Lab 20C.  Only the Titration WS is due Tuesday, but it would be helpful to complete all of Lab 20C except the conclusion.  We will go through the conclusion requirements on Tuesday.

 Chemistry 12:  We completed the procedure for Lab 20B today.   Click here to see the lab data in one image. No lab work is due for Monday, but everyone should have # 1-19 completed in Hebdon Chapter 4.  

Chemistry 11:  We worked on the Questions and Follow-up Questions for Lab 20C, and these are due on Monday.  Some started the WS titled "Stoichiometry Calculations", but this is not due.  

Science 8:  We went through the WS titles Waves and Measurement.  We read pages 152 to 160.  For each type of EMR we wrote down the applications (ways we use this type of electromagnetic radiation).   One sketch for each type.

 Chemistry 11:  We watched a demonstration of a titration, then we prepared Lab 20C.  We completed all the procedure and did the Questions and Calculations.  In the second half we completed the WS titled Stoichiometry Calculations.  Due next class are

Science 8:  We began with a short review of wave anatomy, then we went over the answers to page 138 # 1-5.  The Wave Measurement WS was completed, then the Pendulum Lab.  In the second half we took brief notes on Light, then we read pages 145 - 149 and completed pg 151 # 1-10, 12 in sentences.  This short clip demonstrates refraction.  The WS and page 151 are due Friday.  Please bring a ruler and calculator each day.

Chemistry 12:  We completed the solubility Test in the first half, then learned about Conjugate acid- base pairs.  We read section 4.5, then completed Unit 4 # 1-19.  We prepared Lab 20B today too.  


Tuesday, November 12: 

Science 8:  First day with Ms. Rodman, a student teacher joining us for November.  We learned about the anatomy of a wave and we did some practice calculating frequency (page 138 # 1-5).  The Chemistry Unit Test was completed today too.

Chemistry 11:  We completed Lab 6B today, and it is due on Thursday (all Questions, Follow-up Questions, and a Conclusion).

Chemistry 12:  We took brief notes on Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases, the we read section 4.4 and completed unit 4 # 1-14.  This is not due, because the Solubility test is tomorrow.

Chemistry 12:  We began the Acids and Bases Unit today with some sour candies and brief notes.  We read section 4.1 to 4.3 and completed # 1-10 in Unit 4.  The second half was spent completing the Solubility Practice test - WR #6 is not fair and can be omitted.  Click here to see the key.  The practice Test is due on Tuesday, and the Solubility Unit Test is on Wednesday.

Science 8:  We marked part of the Chemistry Practice Test, which was due today. The answer key is posted here.  We worked on the Heat Lab today.  First was a demonstration of Convection, and we sketched the convection tube and explained in brief point form how convection currents occur.  Part D was a  more advanced experiment to see which metal was the best conductor:  Steele, Copper, Brass, Nickel, or Aluminum.   A bar graph was drawn to show the results and everyone was asked to sketch a superior cooking pot with lid, showing the best places for specific metals to be used.  We finished off by learning about angles and how to draw them carefully.  

Grade 8 Boys Volleyball:

North Zone Play-offs in Lumby.  Matches at 4:00. 6:00, and possibly 7:00.  Leave the school at 11:45 am.  

Roster announced soon.
