Chemistry 12:     We completed the Equilibrium Unit Test today.  Remaining time was spent on Unit 3 # 1-15, which are due Thursday.  Click here to see the Ch12 assignment log.

Science 10:     We finished the Coal fired Electricity production video, and spoke about how governments can force companies to adjust their practice to preserve the biosphere.  What a terrific way to help the environment:  train up as an environmental scientist or chemical engineer and be involved in efforts to make industry more clean.  More effective than sitting in trees or blocking railroads.  After reviewing the Heat Lab (PartA:  Conduction, Part B:  Radiation) we added a title for Part C: Convection, but did not complete any work on this yet.  We read pages 224 - 226 and learned about Cellular Respiration, Photosynthesis, and Fossil Fuels.  We wrote brief notes on our placemat as we read.  We finished off with a short practice quiz on Energy calculations.  Click here to see the Sci10 assignment log.

Science 8:       We went over page 163, then we completed a minilab where students were instructed to direct a light ray using mirrors.  We finished with a discussion about kindness.  Click here to see the Sci8 assignment log.

Science 8:  Course selection sheets were collected today.  We took brief notes on Mirrors, then we completed a mini-lab to explore the reflection pattern found with convex and concave mirrors.  After reading page 184 - 186 we completed WS on Reflection and Refraction.

Science 10:  We completed Part B of the Heat Lab:  Radiation.  We performed an experiment to test which color absorbs more radiant energy, black or silver, then we created a graph of Temperature vs Time for each trial.  In the final minutes we learned about how electricity is created from coal by watching this clip. 

Chemistry 12:  The Equilibrium Practice test was collected, marked, and returned today.  We took brief notes on Solutions, then we spent time getting ready for Monday's test on Unit 2 and starting Unit 3 # 1-15 (these are not due Monday).  We also began an experiment to determine the solubility of MgSO4.
