Science 8:  We went over pg 31 # 12,4-6, then I collected it.  With a partner, we verbally did this microscope quiz.   We completed a microscope lab where we viewed and sketched human hair, moss anthers, and onion cells.  

Chemistry 11:  I collected the WS titled "Putting it all Together", then we learned. how to calculate percent composition.   Unit 5 # 44 and 45 ( any 10 problems, total) is due Monday.  Lab 4B is not due Monday.

 Chemistry 12:  Unit 5 # 15f - 17 and 21 were collected today.  We did the WS titled "Putting It All Together".  In the final part, we learned how to write a conclusion, and on Friday we will write the conclusion for Lab 4D.   See the Lab Marking Guide and Sample Conclusion.

 Science 8:  We did our Chemistry Test today, then we finished pg 31 # 1,2,4-6.  In the last 15 minutes we made a wet mount of a lower-case letter e from the classifieds of a newspaper.

Science 8:  Today we learned the anatomy of a microscope, as well as the care and handling instructions.  Read pgs 12-14 about microscops, and memorize the anatomy of a microscope.  We took notes on the structures in a plant cell.  We also read pgs 25-31 and did pg 31 # 1,2,4-6 in good quality point form.

Chemistry 11:  I collected Unit 5 Exercises # 11,12,15 (a-d) today.  We continued with more challenging moles problems, and we drew the moles heart map on our data booklets.  Due next class is 15f - 17, and 21 in Unit 5, as well as Lab 4B (Questions & Calculations and Follow-up Questions). 

 Science 8:  We took a quick look at the Assignment Log, and acknowledged that a lot of work has been done so far.  Well done!  We did a mini review together, then we did the Unit 1 Practice Test.  Our Chemistry unit test will be on Wednesday.  At the end we began learning about cell structure; our next unit is Biology (in grade 8 we learn cell structure and function as well as the immune system).  Click here to see the Assignment Log.

Chemistry 11:  Due Tuesday is Unit 5 # 11, 12, and 15 a-d .  Finish Lab 4B Follow up questions too.  Click here to see the assignment log.

 

 Chemistry 11:  We finished the procedure for Lab 4B, then we did our Unit I test.  We spent the remainder of the class working on Lab 4B.  Only the Questions and Calculations # 1-5 are due Monday. Click here to see the Assignment Log. 

Science 8:  We began with a short review of Cyclotrons, such as TRIUMF in Vancouver and the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.  Next, we marked pg 212 # 3,5,10, 11 (from the hand-out).  We did the Pop Can lab, to practice skills with bunsen burners and calculating percentages.   We finished off by writing a Conclusion for our Pop Can Lab.  Click here to see the assignment log.

Science 8:  Click here to see the assignment log.  We began with a short debrief if Lab 10-2, the Mini Distillation Lab.  We added a little to our notes on Atomic Structure.  We read pg 210 and 211 from a hand-out and did pg 212 # 3,5,10, and 11.  Both of these assignments are due Friday.  We learned how to light bunsen burners, and everyone demonstrated safe lighting to Xandrei, our TA. In the second half we made a poster showing the structure of an atom (a unique isotope was assigned to each student).  We finished by discussing the components that make up protons and neutrons, and how electrons are a fundamental particle and cannot be divided.  We watched this short clip about the Fundamental particles of the Universe.  

Chemistry 11.  Click here to see the Assignment Log.  The unit 1 practice test was collected and the written response section was marked.  We went through the multiple choice portion together.  Click here to see an answer key.   We began with a short review of Moles, then we did a few practice problems on our Moles Notes from last day.  Due next class is Unit 5 Exercises 8-10 (any 10 problems).  In the second half we started Lab 4B.  Friday will be our first unit test, please spend some time preparing.  It will have material since the beginning, but will not include any moles topics (Unit 5 in Hebdon).
