Science 8:  We began with a review of the Heart, then we wrote a practice quiz on Heart Anatomy.  We spent time finishing page 95 # 2-5,7-11 (half in sentences), then we made a flippit.  To learn about the immune system, we read pages 100-105 and filled in our Immune system flippit with brief notes.  This clip shows how mucus and cilia work together in the trachea to catch pathogens before they travel deep into our lungs.  In the final 30 minutes we learned about volume, measuring technique, and completed the Volume WS.  Only page 95 is due on Friday.

Chemistry 11:  Due Monday is Unit 5 # 6,7.  Try to have the Calculations and Follow-up Questions from Lab 2E done for Monday too, but you will be given a little time for this.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.

Science 8:  We went over page 91 #1-5, then we reviewed the respiratory system.  We made a Vital Capacity vs height graph to help answer the question "Does height influence lung capacity?".  In the last minutes we labelled a heart diagram and discussed how it works.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log

Science 8:  In the first half we learned about the respiratory system.  The human torso model showed us many structures, then we read pages 90 to 92 before completing the anatomy diagram and answering page 91 # 1-6 in sentences.  While students worked, everyone measured their vital capacity with the spirometer and measured their height as well.  The Scientific Question we are asking is this:  "Is lung volume larger for taller people"?   Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log

Chemistry 11:  The Intro Unit Test was written, then we did the procedure for Lab 2E.  No work is due Friday;  we will complete the lab analysis on Friday.   Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.
