Science 9:  After a short review we took notes on Electrical Energy.  We read section 11.3 and did pg 354 # 1-3, 5, 7-12.  We finished with a short clip showing the installation of a giant GE wind turbine.

Chemistry: Today we worked on Lab 21D (Questions 1, 2 (a,b), 3(a,b), 4 and Follow-up Questions # 1-4, no conclusion)

Friday, December 13

Chemistry 12:  Today we did the procedure for Lab 21D.  Nothing is due for Monday.

Science 9:  Today we marked the second resistor color code practice and we reviewed different ways that electricity is generated.  We did Lab 4G, and watched this short clip on Tidal Power.   Your only assignment is to take 15 minutes and do the Energy Inventory in your home for Monday.

Household Electrical Inventory:

Go through your home and gather the information listed below.  Images need to be saved to your OneDrive, with useful file names.  Be safe while you are gathering this information.

A) Take photographs of your electrical panel, hot water heater, heat sources for your home (furnace, radiator, wood stove, etc) , stove and oven(s), washer and dryer if you have one.  Take a photo of where electricity enters your home.

B) Get a pdf or take pictures of your last 3 BC Hydro Invoices.  See me if this is not possible.

C) Using a table, make an inventory of all the light fixtures in your house.  Try to determine the power rating for each one.  Scan or photograph this table.

D) Using a table, make an inventory of electrical devices not mentioned so far that are always connected to a source (microwave, fridge, TV, etc).  Scan or photograph this table.

E) Determine what energy form is used by your furnace and your hot water heater.

At school, we will use Word to make a report on the energy use in our homes.  You will need to gather this information by December 16.
