Science 8:  We viewed samples of elements, and for each we wrote the name, symbol, and physical properties in a tidy table.  We also categorized each as a metal or non-metal.  This clip showed how aluminum is made, like what happens in Kitimat BC.   In the second half we wrote notes on our Temperatue vs Time graph for heating water.  This type of graph is called a heating curve.  A second heating curve was constructed with data for a mystery substance.  This allowed us to determine if the substance was butter, margarine, gold, or yellow plastic.   In the final half hour we wrote notes on atomic structure.  We did pg 156 # 2 in the old Science Probe 10.  

Science 9:  I collected the practice test today, marked it, and handed it back before you left. Use your mistakes to improve your skills and knowledge before tomorrow, the  day of our test.  We spent time on electrostatics in the first half, performing a lab to look at attraction and repulsion.  We read pgs 202 to 207, then started pg 209 # 1-5 in sentences, but this is not due Friday.  In the final hour we made a human karyotype from a photograph of 46 chromosomes, cut and paste style.  No work needs to be completed for this for tomorrow.  Instead, spend some time reviewing everything we have done that is not Chemistry content.  You will be allowed to have your meiosis diagram on your desk tomorrow during your test (It can only have a labelled diagram of meiosis on it, no extras please).
