   Science 9:  We marked pg 223 # 3-8, 10, 11, and 14, then handed it in.  We learned the differences in properties between Ionic Compounds and Covalent Compounds, then we did # 1,2 on a new hand-out of page 234.  This is due next class.   Page 133 # 1-9 is not yet due.   Click here to see the Science 9 Assignment Log.

Science 8:   We reviewed density calculations, then we finished the Density Lab.  We read pages 260 to 263 and completed activity 7-6.  Only the Density Lab (determine the density of 4 materials, write a nice procedure) is due on Thursday.  We finished with a quiz on the states of matter and phase changes.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

  Science 9:  We finished Lab 8.1 by completing a fill-in-the-blank Conclusion.  Note the style of writing:  mini essay style, written in third person, the purpose is addressed, etc.  After Lab 8.1 was handed in, we wrote brief notes on Ionic Compounds, then we read pages 140 - 143.  Using a hand-out,  we completed # 3-8, 10, 11, and 14 on our own paper in quality point form, and this is due next day.  Page 133 # 1-9 is not yet due.   Click here to see the Science 9 Assignment Log.

Science 8:   We drew a generic heating curve on the back of our Temperature vs Time graph for Lab 7-4.  We then completed this conclusion and handed Lab 7-4 in.  In the second half we did the Density Lab.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

 Science 9:  We went through the answer to page 125 and 127 then completed a Density Practice Quiz.   Well do a quiz like this on Monday.  We took brief notes on Electron Arrangement, then read pages 130 - 132.  After Lab 8.1 was completed, we did page 133 # 1-9 in point form (not due Monday).  We finished by going through the answers to Lab 8.1.  Click here to see the Science 9 Assignment Log.

Science 8:  We completed lab 7-4 by finishing procedure #7-10 (drawing a temp vs time graph) and completing the "What did I Find Out" Questions # 1-4 in sentences.  We also practiced measuring volume and mass.   Due Monday is Lab 7-4 (all procedure steps and Questions # 1-4)  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

Science 8:  We began by going through page 249 # 1-5, then we heated some materials to observe their thermal expansion.    A bimetallic strip bends when heated, and liquids expand when heated, and these behaviors are what makes a thermometer work.  We measured the air temperature as well as the temperature of tap water.  After reading pages 250 and 251 we completed the Temperature WS.  I checked all of your supplies today:  binder, calculator, ruler, paper, pens/pencils, textbook.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.  


Science 9:  We started by going through page 95 # 1-3, then we viewed some samples of families on the Periodic Table.  We read pages 110 - 114, and filled in a placemat with brief notes.  We completed page 115 # 1-7, and at the very end we reviewed atomic structure from Grade 8.   I checked all of your supplies today:  binder, calculator, ruler, paper, pens/pencils, textbook.  Click here to see the Science 9 Assignment Log.

Science 9:  We began by going over the Volume WS and reviewing key ideas about safety and elements.  After measuring a specific volume of water (it had to be a perfect square)  in a graduated cylinder, we wrote brief note on the Chemistry.  We read pages 102 to 109 and completed page 95 # 1-3 and page 115 # 4-7, both are due Monday.  Also on Monday, I would like to check your supplies (pencils/pens, calculator,  ruler, binder, paper, graph paper (20 sheets), & textbook).

Science 8:  We began by going over the Volume WS and reviewing key ideas about safety and measurement.  After measuring a specific volume of water (it had to be a multiple of 9)  in a graduated cylinder, we wrote brief note on the Chemistry.  We read pages 252 - 253 and completed page 253 # 1-4 and page 249 # 1-4; both are due Monday.  Also on Monday, I would like to check your supplies (pencils/pens, calculator,  ruler, binder, paper, & textbook).
