Chemistry 11:  We began with a review of making standard solutions , then we learned how to find concentration when two solutions are mixed.  We read pgs 99-102, then we completed Unit 5 #  78 - 82, 87 and 88 to practice our skills.  Extra time was spent finishing the Empirical Formula WS.   Please have all this finished for the first day back.  At the end of the first week back you can expect a Moles unit test.  

Science 9:  We completed the Cell Division and Reproduction Unit Test today.  The remaining time was spent finishing the Karyotype Lab.  In the final 25 minutes we made simple circuits to turn on a miniature light bulb.  We learned about the 4 parts of an electrical circuit:  Source, Path, Load, and Control. 

Science 10:  To begin we marked section 18.3 # 1-5 (hand-out on the Law of Conservation of Energy), then we handed this in .  Next was a review of nulcear fusion, where we played with the Phet animation for a short while and watched this clip about nuclear power.  We read pages 230 - 234, then we sketched and labelled a nuclear power plant.   In the last few minutes we looked at these slides and talked about nuclear power plants.  

Science 8:  We made posters showing atomic structure.  On the poster we showed the number and location of protons, electrons, and neutrons in an atom.  Everyone was assigned unique atom.  On the poster there needs to be a key,  a standard symbol, and a copy of Table 1 on page 156 in the old Science Probe 10.
