Check out this summer camp option!  A canoe adventure on the Columbia for students aged 15 to 18.  The website and short promo video will tell you all about it, and bursaries may be available for those that require it.

Chemistry 11:  Today we reviewed balancing chemical reactions and did any 15 balancing problems from pg 110 and 111 in Hebdon.  They start easy and transition to very difficult - find the section that best develops your skills.  We also spent time on Lab 4D, which is due on Thursday.  In the second half, we reviewed reaction categories and took notes.  Do pg 118 # 66 any 15 categorizing problems, do not balance these.

Chemistry 11:  Today we wrote notes on Chemical Reactions, and we finished a WS titled "Writing Chemical Reaction Equations".  We spent time on Lab 4D too, and this will be due on Thursday (all questions and a conclusion).

Chemistry 12:  After writing notes on Solubility Product Constant, we read pg 90 and 91 and did Unit 3 # 40 and 41.  We finished the Solubility Lab (pink WS associated with your saturated copper (II) sulphate solution), which is also due Tuesday.

Chemistry 12:  Today we learned how to write Formula Equations, Complete Ionic Equations, and Net Ionic Equations for precipitation reactions.  We did the WS titled "Precipitation Reactions" as we performed the reactions at our desks.  We also prepared a sample of our saturated Copper Sulphate solution for evaporation over the break. This way we can calculate the concentration of our saturated solution.

Career Education 9:

1) Start with a few short clips about different trades, and a longer video on being a "nurse practitioner".

2)  Discuss Goals:  SMART is a good acronym.  Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time dependent
ex. 1)  I will try harder
ex. 2) I will buy a car before I am 20
ex. 3) I will win the steeplechase at Valleys this May.
ex.  4) I will be 6 feet tall by my 16th birthday

3) Log on to Mentorcity and do Module 4.1 to 4.8.  Complete your profile if this is not yet done.  Follow the instructions on the Mentorcity platform.

4)  Watch this video on Motivation, then complete the Upskills Motivation Work booklet.

Career Education 9:  After completing Handout [A] - Reflection, log in to myBlueprint and follow the instructions on the top of HANDOUT[B] - MY INTERESTS.  Complete the written section of HANDOUT[B] - MY INTERESTS, and hand it in.   In  your profile, ensure that your school is "Revelstoke Secondary".  Continue with the workbooklet from Monday, and let me know if you are finished.

Chemistry 11:  After going over the answer to the practice test, we did Lab 4D (all Questions, Follow-up Questions, and a Conclusion).  The lab is not due on Friday, I would rather you prepared for Friday's Moles Unit Test (Chapter 5).  On Friday I will collect your Practice Test at the start of the class.

Chemistry 12:  We did our Equilibrium Unit Test in the first half.  In the second half we reviewed/learned various topic to do with solutions.  Read 3.1 and 3.2.  Do Unit 3 # 1-12,15,18,20(a-d), due Friday.

Career Education 9:

Today we started with a short review of different education paths after high school finishes.  We logged into Mentorcity to create our profiles, then we logged out.  We spent time working on the booklets for Softskills and Accountability.  If there is time, begin the booklet on Motivation.

Chemistry 12:  After a short review WS we spent time on the Unit 2 Practice test.  There will be a test on Unit 2 (Equilibrium Chemistry) tomorrow.  I will collect the Practice test, as well as Unit 2 # 52-58 and 60-62. 

Chemistry 11:  After a short review we worked on the Moles Unit Practice Test and we prepared Lab 4D.  Your practice test is due tomorrow.  There will be a Moles test on Friday.
