Science 8:  We reviewed the rock cycle, then we learned about Relative Age.  We completed Activity 10D from the old Probe 10, where we generated vertical lists showing structures and events from youngest to oldest.  We also looked at our Immune System Flippit from September to review the immune system. This clip helped us review the immune system.

Chemistry 11:  We read section 10.5 and completed # 30 and 31 to practice names and structural formulas of aromatic molecules - those that contain rings with alternating single and double bonds, like benzene.  In the second half we learned about alcohol functional groups, read 10.6, and completed Organic WS #9 (Alcohols).

Chemistry 12:  We spent 40 minutes reading Lab 21C and preparing it (creating tables, starting questions, etc).  Next class we will begin with Lab 21C and it must be handed in before you leave that day.  In the second half we learned about Electroplating and completed the Electrolysis Review WS.

Science 8:  We finished the Volcano Spreadsheet as described on Friday's post.  The remainder of Volcano! filled the final 20 minutes.

Chemistry 11:  We learned about Cis and Trans isomers and finished reading section 10.4.  WS #6 provided some practice, and is due Tuesday.  Final exam review was accomplished as well - a Final Exam Moles Review assignment was given out and the answer key is on the side counter.  Bring this to me when done.  The Reactions Final Exam Review WS will be next. 

Chemistry 12:  We took brief notes about Electrolysis, and watched this clip that explains how Aluminum is smelted.  Due next class is Unit 5 # 64-69.  Your final is 9 days away, please spend some time preparing.
