Chemistry 11:     Today we completed the Moles Unit Practice test during wait time while completing Lab 4D.  Click here to see the Practice Test (Multiple Choice and Written Response) answer key.   Test on Friday on the Mole unit, Lab 4D is not due Friday.      Click here to see the Chem 11 Assignment log.

Chemistry 12:    To start we went through the answers to the Unit 2 practice test.  We spent time completing Unit 2 # 18-28 (evens only), and these will be due on Friday.  One last review practice quiz was finished today too, before we turned our attention to Solubility, unit 3.   After taking brief notes on Electrolytes, we read section 3.1 and completed Unit 3 # 1-7 (due Tuesday).  We also got going on finding the concentration of MgSO4 in a saturated solution like Spotted Lake.  Click here for the Chem 12 Assignment Log.

Junior Boys Volleyball:  Next practice on Wednesday at 7:00 pm.  League play at home on Thursday, then off to Kamloops TRU for a tournament on Oct 30/31.   Click here to see the League schedule.  Click here to see our team calendar.  Click here to see the Junior Last Spike Schedule.

Chemistry 11:     Both classes handed in their Standard Solution Lab.  In period A we watched a "Green Thumb Theatre performance called "Benevelance" about Hakka people from China, and we started to prepare Lab 4D.  In Period D we reviewed some mole concepts, and we completed the moles practice test.  Test on Friday on the Mole unit.      Click here to see the Chem 11 Assignment log.

Chemistry 12:    To start we made a saturated solution of Magnesium Sulphate, to show what the waters of Spotted Lake would be like at the end of most summers.  Later we will determine the [MgSO4] in these saturated solutions.  Time was provided to finish the Unit 2 practice test.  We also got started on Unit 2 # 18-28 (evens only), and these will be due on Friday.   Click here for the Chem 12 Assignment Log.

Junior Boys Volleyball:  Next practice on Wednesday at 5:15 pm.  Please plan to bring a food item form the officials/coaches room at the Last Spike Volleyball Tournament (fruit, veggie, cheese/ trays are appreciated) or $10 (towards purchase of food items, the coaches will take care of this).
