Science 8:  Read pages about Lasers and Fibreoptics, [pg 224 & 225] then finish the Lab 6-2 on Page 207 including all the "What to do" problems using full sentences where appropriate.  Complete page 229 # 1,3-7 for Monday as well.]

Science 10:  First, we went over the answer to the WS titled Law of Conservation of Energy.  Then we read pages 250-253.   With a partner we researched a natural process [lighting, wind, hurricanes, tides, avalanches, forest fires, photosynthesis].  

Chemistry 12:  We looked at some slides of coral reefs, limestone mountains and karst landscape to understand the chemistry around "Hard Water".  We read section 3.9, then completed the WS titled Review of Solubility 2, which is due Monday.  Lab 19C is  due Tuesday.  Test on Wednesday or Friday.

 Chemistry 12:  We completed Lab 19C today, and it will be due Monday.  On Friday I will provide 30 minute of time for a conclusion.  I will also check Unit 3 # 45-54 and 56-66 on Friday.  Click here to see the Ch12 assignment log.

Science 8:  Page 210 # 1-7 was collected today.  We reviewed human eye anatomy then wrote a quiz.  In the second half we read pages 216 - 225 about optical devices that extend human vision.  On a placemat we wrote brief notes on each one, making a sketch and showing the location of each mirror, lens, or prism.  We also included one ray path, and the location of the observer and the object.  This is due on Friday, except the Optical Fibre and Laser section.  This video shows a little information about the James Webb Telescope Click here to see the Sci8 assignment log.

 Science 10:  page 207 # 1-7 was handed in first.  We finished the Solar Energy video from last class, then we wrote brief notes on the Law of Conservation of Energy.  After reading pages 206 to 208, we  completed a WS on the Law of Conservation of Energy.  In the second half we began the astronomy unit with a review of the Solar System.  Be sure to get outside this week to see the constellation Orion, as it will soon be impossible to see.

Science 8:  We began with a review of eye anatomy, then we took notes on Focusing problems.  We read pages 209 - 210, then did pages 210 # 1-7 in sentences. These are due next class.   We finished with this clip about the eye anatomy.  

Science 10: We completed a placemat as we read pages 241 - 246, and did pg 247 # 1-7 in fine sentences.   We watched this clip about solar energy.  

Chemistry 12:  We completed the Review 3.1 to 3.6, then we learned how to use Ktrial to determine if a precipitate will form.  Read section 3.7 and complete Unit 3 # 56 - 66 for Thursday.   We will do Lab 19C on Thursday.  Click here to see a key for # 56 - 66
