Science 9 P56:  Today we started with the Chemistry Unit Test and worked on the Electronics introduction booklet.  In the second half we learned about multimeters, and measured the voltage of various types of batteries and cells.   We calculated the percentage decrease in voltage and used a 10% decrease to be the limit beyond which we could call the battery dead.   There is no homework for you.

Careers 8:  We watched a short clip on managing your Digital Footprint well.  

Perform these tasks efficiently:

1.  Navigate to myBlueprint.ca and create an account.  The Activation Key is  "Revelstoke".  As this is your official high school myBlueprint account to be used until Grade 12, accurately type your name with proper capitalization.

2.  In the left corner, click on Menu in the navigation and select Who Am I.  Select the Learning Styles assessment, and complete it.  Report your learning style to Mr. Gale when you are done.

3.  In the left corner, click on Work and select Resumes.  Click the button + Create Resume and create a Grade 8 Resume.  Fill in as much as you can in the 3 sections titled Contact Information, Education,  and Hobbies and Interests.  Write clearly and use appropriate capitalization and proper spelling.  We will do other sections later.

4.  In the Home left tab click on Portfolios, add a Portfolio and call it Grade 8 Portfolio.  This is a place where you will store a collection of items that show your learning.  Create an appropriate Avatar.  Click "Add Box" and add both your Learning Styles and your Grade 8 Resume.

5.  Navigate back to the Who Am I section, and do the Personality Survey.  Add this to your Grade 8 Portfolio as well.  See Mr. Gale if this is all done.

Chemistry 12:  Hand in U4 # 84-88,80.  Read Section 4.16 about Titrations.   Do Unit 4 # 94-96, 100, 101 for Wednesday.  Finish Lab 20 G.

Science 9:  After a short review of Ionic Names and Formulas, we self checked the Chemistry Practice Test.  We reviewed 10 forms of energy, did a short brainstorm on Electricity, and built a small circuit with little to no instruction.  We began the Introduction to Electronics booklet, writing short answers on our own paper, but this is not due.  Spend some time studying for your Chemistry Test on the double block.
