Chemistry 11:  After reviewing the materials you'll need for this course, we went straight into the Kinetic Molecular Theory with a demo and small assignment (KMT WS).  This animation helped us with our learning.  We fetched textbooks from the library as well.  In the final 20 minutes we read section 1.1 in our Hebdon Text and completed the map as prescribed in the text.  I checked for signed outlines.  Due next class is the KMT WS and the classroom/hallway/fire escape map. 

Science 8:  We reveiwed the tools you will need to learn in Science 8, then we went through all the classroom safety equipment (fire extinguisher, fire blanket, fume hood, emergency gas shut-off button, eye-wash, emergency shower, and eyewear drawer).  We constructed a full-page map showing all this equipment, as well as the nearest fire pull, nearest fire extinguisher, and fire exit route.  After signing out textbooks from the library, we read pages xviii and xix in the pre-text section.  To finish, we spoke about many of the ways to become involved in the culture of our school (arts, sports, volunteerism, etc).
