Chemistry 11: We began with brief notes on how to perform calculations in Science, followed by reading page 24 - 37 and completion of Unit 2 # 57 & 58.  A little time was provided to prepare Lab 3A.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.

Science 8:  After a short discussion on how to enter a classroom, we learned the difference between "Concentrated" and "Dilute".  We took notes on how materials cross the cell membrane, then we read pages  40 to 44, then started page 39 # 1-5,8,9,11 but these are note due.   Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log.

Friday, Sept 12th.

Chemistry 11: We began with a  WS titled "Measurement to the nearest one-tenth of the Smallest Division", which is the same as Unit 2 # 48, 49, and 50. There are answers in your Hebdon text on page 254 and 255.  We then read about naming and writing formulas for elements, ions, and ionic compounds (pages 65 - 72). We completed # 1, 4 (any 10), and 5(any 10) from the exercises embedded in this reading.  Both of the above tasks are due Monday.  Remaining time was spent working on Lab 2D, which is due on Tuesday. 

Science 8: We completed a mini practice quiz on Microscope parts and Cell anatomy, then we learned about the 5 characteristics of living things.  We watched this video clip from the Amoeba Sisters, then we read pages 8-12 in our textbook.  Due Monday is page 21 # 1-7 in sentences.  

Thursday, Sept 11th.

Chemistry 11:  We started with a short review of key ideas (parallax error, meniscus, significant figures) , then we dove into Lab 2D.  New today is the idea that when dividing, the final value can only contain as many signficant figures as the fewest in all the values involved in the calculation.  For example, if a 4 digit measurment is divided by a 3 digit measurement, then the final value can only be shown with 3 digits.  We finished all the procedure, Questions and Calculations, and Follow-up Questions.  In the final 30 minutes we learned about writing names and formulas of ionic compounds.
