Science 9: An answer key for pg 334 was given you along with a little more practice on Resistor Color codes. We had a short discussion about how much electricity affects our lifestyles, and we considered what our lives would be like if we had no electricity for 6 weeks. A table with headings "Source", "How it works", and "Renewable?" was constructed and filled in with brief notes while we read section 11.3. We watched a short video, click here to see it.

Chemistry 12: After a short review we did the Acid Base Practice Test today, and this is due Tuesday. Acid Base Unit Test on Thursday.
Science 9: Today we marked the Ohm's Law WS, and we measured resistors to see how close they are to their stated values. Finish the right column for Tuesday.
Household Electrical Inventory:
Go through your home and gather the information listed below. Images need to be saved to your OneDrive, with useful file names. Be safe while you are gathering this information.
A) Take photographs of your electrical panel, hot water heater, heat sources for your home (furnace, radiator, wood stove, etc) , stove and oven(s), washer and dryer if you have one. Take a photo of where electricity enters your home.
B) Get a pdf or take pictures of your last 3 BC Hydro Invoices. See me if this is not possible.
C) Using a table, make an inventory of all the light fixtures in your house. Try to determine the power rating for each one. Scan or photograph this table.
D) Using a table, make an inventory of electrical devices not mentioned so far that are always connected to a source (microwave, fridge, TV, etc). Scan or photograph this table.
E) Determine what energy form is used by your furnace and your hot water heater.
At school, we will use Word to make a report on the energy use in our homes. You will need to gather this information by December 16.

Chemistry 12: We took notes on the Acid-Base Chemistry of Metal and Non-Metal Oxides. After reading section 4.19, we did U4 # 144-147. Lab 20G and the long Green Ka and Kb WS should be done by now, ensure that Mr. Gale has these. Finish Lab 20H Procedure Part I. You were given the Acid Base Practice Test today, and I will give you 40 minutes for this on Monday. Your Acid-Base Unit Test will be on Thursday.
Science 9: Pg 314 # 1-14 was collected today. We started off with a review of measuring Resistance, then we took a stab at drawing a schematic for my electric kettle. We used pg 316 to learn how to find the resistance of resistors from their colored bands. The last half of the class was spent on Ohms Law. The Ohms Law WS and the Color Code WS are due Monday.
Careers 8 (Ms. Avery's awesome Math 8 Period 34 Class)
When I look at your myBlueprint profile on Friday, December 12th I should be able to see these items:
1) Grade 8 Portfolio
2) Learning Styles results added to your Grade 8 Portfolio
3) Partially complete Resume added to your Grade 8 Portfolio
4) Personality Survey results added to your Grade 8 Portfolio .
5) Excel timetable, pdf version, uploaded in to your Grade 8 Portfolio
6) Occupations added to your Grade 8 Portfolio
If you are not sure how to do these tasks, scroll through the last few days of my blog to see the instructions you were working from during our classes. Thanks for your hard work and I looking forward to working with you next semester.

Science 9: Class began by going through the answers to pg 309 # 1-5 and 7-12. Scientific Notation #2 provided a a little more practice on Scientific Notation, then we did the Voltage in Series and Parallel lab. In the second half we read section 10.3 and did pg 314 # 1-12, in sentences where appropriate. Our final task was to learn the meaning of Resistance and to measure the resistance o of several devices (D cell, open switch, closed switch, etc) and materials (wood, stone, metal, humans, etc).

Scientific Notation #2 provided a a little more practice on Scientific Notation, then we did the Voltage in Series and Parallel lab. In the second half we read section 10.3 and did pg 314 # 1-12, half in sentences and half in point form. Our final task was to learn the meaning of Resistance and to measure the resistance of several devices (D cell, open switch, closed switch, etc) and materials (wood, stone, metal, humans, etc).
Chemistry 12: After a short review we drew the graph prescribed by Lab 20H Part I, followed by a green review of Ka and Kb Calculations. A short set of notes on Titration Curves followed. We read Section 4.18 and did # 125. You are not expected to work with pH1/2.# Due on Friday is the Ka and Kb Calcuations WS and #125. Your Lab 20G should be done and in my lab book drawer in room 313. Test next Thrusday on Unit 4
