Science 9 and Chemistry 11:  Happy New Year everyone!  I am working hard in Room 313 for these 4 days, please feel free to contact me by email (ggale@sd19.bc.ca) or by Teams if you have any questions about our coursework or how the next 3 weeks will unfold.  I am not sure I will know all the answers, but I will do my best.  

Its a curious kind of gift, this 4 extra days of Christmas Break, but please consider it a special present and use your time well.  Help others!  Make a meal for your adult who is working all day.  Do the laundry, clean a bathroom or two.  Double your dog walking time.  Learn something new - by reading,  exploring a website, or by helping a favorite adult complete a task.  Spend time on Education Planner BC and explore career and training options for after graduation.  Make a snow sculpture of Jabba the Hut.  Avoid empty tasks that provide little benefit, like watching paint dry, reading dictionaries, or playing video games:)

Chemistry 11: After going through WS #9 we turned our attention to The Materials Economy and the role that hydrocarbons play.  We watched this clip that explains how natural gas is transformed into plastics like polyethylene.  We also watched The Story of Stuff, which explains how the Materials Economy works.  The energy provided by hydrocarbons drive the materials economy.
