Science 8:  We began with a short review of the causes of volcanoes, then we learned about the rock cycle.  Everyone drew their own rock cycle, naming the 3 rock families and including these key terms:  lava, sediments, erosion, cooling, heat, weathering, magma, extrusive, pressure, striations, wind, solidification, compaction, granite, sandstone, obsidian, shale, slate, pumice, solidification, intrusive, conglomerate.  Include sketches and text to explain how rocks change family.  A little time was given to complete page 413 # 1-10, which is due Friday.  We watched the first 25 minutes of Volcano!, a National Geographic documentary.  In the final minutes we reviewed cell anatomy.

Chemistry 12:  We completed the Standard Cell Voltage review, and we did #6 together.  We took brief notes on Finding the Preferred Reaction.  After reading section 5.10 we completed Unit 8 # 47, which is due Friday.  In the second half we reviewed ideas from the Rates of Reaction unit, and we completed the Mechanisms Mini practice WS.  Be sure to be spend some time reviewing (skim your text; focus on the titles, subtitles, images, and bold words) and completing practice problems to prepare for your final exam.  You will get a practice final next week.
