Chemistry 11:  Today we marked the Functional Group WS, and learned how to form esters from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.  We made a homemade WS, and drew the products of 5 different ester synthesis reactions.  Also on the go are Final Exam Review worksheets, which I will give out one at a time.  You complete them, mark them with the posted key (on the side counter in room 313), then show me.  So far the Moles and Reactions units have been made available.  Please look at the school calendar and map out your exam week.  There will be an Organic Unit Test on Friday.

Science 8:  After a short review, we did Lab 17A from the old Science Probe textbook.  We used a map and radiometric dating of rocks to see how fast the Hawaiian islands are moving over the Pacific Hot Spot.  This clip shows a more detailed timeline of the life cycle of a Hawaiian island.  No work is due on Thursday.  Please look at the school calendar and map out your exam week.

Chemistry 12:  We completed the Electrolysis Mini Review WS.  This is a terrific clip that shows Copper refining.  Time was given for Take-Home Final #1, and an Electrochemistry Practice Test was given out, no due date for either of these has been announced.  There will be no Electrochemistry Unit Test; I will use your Final Exam to evaluate you on this final unit.  Once last topic to learn on Wednesday, then we will high-five each other for finishing the course.

Chemistry 12:  Lab 21C was collected today.  We took note on Electrolysis, watched a clip on Aluminum smelting, as well as a clip on electroplating.  Due Tuesday is Unit 5 # 65-71.  Now is a good time to review for your final exam.  

Chemistry 11:  We learned about oxy and nitro functional groups - these are the notes we took.  Functional Groups WS Part B and C was completed, and is due Tuesday.  Ensure that Lab 7B is complete for Tuesday, no conclusion.

Science 8:  Today we created a data set of volcanoes.  For at least 6 volcanoes, research the name, country,  height,  last eruption, death toll of last eruption, continent, nearest ocean.  Use Microsoft Excel, and make a table to show your data.  Save it to your Onedrive, using a useful file name (example:  Volcano Data 2023 01 16 Sci 8  J Trudeau)
