Chemistry 11:  We went over the Lewis Dot Diagrams first, then completed procedure steps 1,2,4 for Lab 12B.  We looked at some element families (Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Halogens, and Noble Gases), and read about Mendeleev from Bill Bryon's "A Short History of Nearly Everything".  

Chemistry 12:  Kb Calculations today.  Due Monday are Unit 4 # 84 - 88, the Indicators WS, and the Hydrolysis WS.

Science 8 :  Optics and Waves test today. At the end we labelled a map with all the continents and all the oceans, to kick off our Geology Unit.  We colored all the countries we have been to in one color, then used a different color for 3 countries we would like to travel to when we are older.  

Thursday, December 5th.

Chemistry 12:  We started with the all topics Review WS (4.1 to 4.15).  Next we went right into Ka calculations:  we did # 75 and 78 together, then everyone completed 74-80 (all due next class).  In the second half we learned about Indicators, took brief notes, read 4.17, and completed Unit 4 # 108-118 - also due on Friday.  Some people began the Hydrolysis WS.

Science 8:  We went over the Optics Practice Test first, then spent a little time looking at the Science Department telescope.  After preparing Lab 6-2, we completed it (Sheep's Eye Dissection).  All of the Conclude and Apply and Analyze questions are due, in sentence format, for Friday.  Test on Friday.
