Science 8:  We reviewed cell and microscope anatomy, then self marked page 39 # 1-4 and 6-9 (in sentences) before handing it in.  While we read page 10 individually we made a list of 5 characteristics of living things.  In the last 30 minutes we learned about microscope care and handling and created wet mounts of lower case letter "e"s from the classified section of a newspaper.  

Chemistry 11:  We learned how to measure to the nearest one tenth of the smallest division, and we practiced this skill with an illustrated assignment.  An answer key was posted at the side counter.  Time as given to finish Unit 3 # 3-5, 13,15, 21, 24, 33-39, 59-61.  This is due next class.  We started "Matter WS", but this is not due next class. 

Chemistry 12:  We wrote brief notes on Rates of Reaction, then completed the WS titled "Rates of Reaction involving Stoichiometry".  This is due Thursday.  We used this animation to help explain changes in rate using collision theory.  Unit 1 # 1-22 is also due on Thursday.  

Thursday, Sept 5th 

Science 8:  After reviewing safety and cell anatomy, we wrote brief notes on Cell Anatomy.  We watched the first 5 minutes of this terrific clip about Cell Structure and Function.  In the last 20 minutes we went through the lab safety rules, and spoke about key expectations, including how to treat special guest TTOC's when Mr. Gale is away.

Chemistry 12:  Rates of Reaction WS were checked against the green answer key, and did not need to be handed in.  We did Lab 7 today, and the analysis sheet is due on Friday.

Chemistry 11:  Kinetic Molecular Theory WS were checked against the pink answer key, and did not need to be handed in.  We took notes on Chemistry, and observed samples.  In a 3 column table we recorded the name, physical properties, and whether the material was pure or a mixture.  In the last 10 minutes we spoke about key expectations, including how to treat special guest TTOC's when Mr. Gale is away.
