Science 8:  We read pgs 216 - 223 about applications of optics.  We made sketches and wrote notes on telescopes, microscopes, binoculars, and cameras.

Chemistry 11:  We did the homemade WS on Lewis Dot Structures, then we finished the procedure for Lab 6E.  Only the homemade WS is due Monday.  

May 11, 2023 

Science 8:  We began with a discussion on Human Eye anatomy, and we watched this video on laser eye surgery.  We read about problems with human vision (pgs 208 to 210), and we completed pg 210 # 1-7 in quality point form.  I marked everyone's pg 205 # 1-5 from Tuesday's class.  In the second half, we did Lab 6-4, the Sheep's Eye Dissection. Only pg 210 # 1-7 is due on Friday.

 Chemistry 11:  Today I collected Unit 8 # 31-39.  We took notes on Ionic Bonding, then we read pgs 170-175, and we completed 53-55 and 57 - 64 in unit 8.  In the second half we did Lab 6E and were able to complete Calculation # 1 today.  We will finish Lab 6E on Friday.  We spent the last 5 minutes looking at the CLC guidebook, and this year's Grade 12 important Dates, to get a sense of what happens next year.

Chemistry 11:  After a short review of atomic structure, we took notes on the Modern Periodic Table.  We read pgs 160 - 164, and we completed Unit 8 # 31-39.  A little time was given to finish Lab 11A part III (Parts I and II should already be done).   We finished by adding notes to our graphs of atomic radii and Ionization Energy.  Click here to see the Chem 11 Assignment Log

Science 8:  We did the Convex Lens Lab today - a complex task, with serious math and measurement, all done in the dark.  Well done!  All of the lab sheet is due except questions # 4,5, and 6. 

 Chemistry 11:  Today I collected Lab 20C and Unit 8 #13-19 & 22.  We did Lab 11A after we reviewed Bohr Diagrams.  We did the procedure of all 3 parts, but we did not make a lab report, nor did we do any questions or a conclusion.  

Science 8:  Today I collected pg 186 # 1-6 and 189 # 2-5 and 9.  We reviewed the anatomy of the human eye, then we read pgs 190 - 193.  Due Monday is pg 197 # 1-11, half in sentences.  Click here to see the assignment log.

 Science 8:  We used a concave mirror to create a real, small, and upright image of Mount Begbie and school ground trees onto paper.  We wrote notes on Mirrors, then we read pgs 182 - 186.  In sentences, we completed pg 186 # 1-6 and pg 189 # 2-5 & 9.  These problems are due Friday.  In the second half we did Lab 5-8, including the three analysis questions.  Reading pages 190 to 195 will help in learning about lenses.  We finished by learning about the anatomy of the human eye.  

Chemistry 11:  After the Reactions Unit Practice Test was collected, we did the Reactions Unit Test.  Following this, time was given to work on Lab 20C (all questions & a fine conclusion) as well as Unit 8 # 13-19 and 22.  Both of these tasks are due on Friday.  We looked at the evidence for subatomic particles, including a real Cathode Ray Tube, [shows us electrons] as well as an amimation of Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment [indicates a small, dense, positive nucleus]  We also looked at some pics of an recreation of Rutherford's actual experimental set up.  

Tuesday, May 2nd

Chemistry 11:  Wednesday, tomorrow, we will have a Reactions Unit Test.  Today we wrote notes on Atomic Theory, then we read pg 139 -148.  Lab 20C, with a  Conclusion, is due Friday.  The Practice Test is due Wednesday at the start of class.  Click here to view the Reactions Practice Test answer key.

Science 8:  We reviewed reflection and refraction, then we used some concave mirrors to cast a real, inverted image of Crusty the Clown onto a screen.  With the image in focus, we measured the focal length of the mirror.  We did Lab 5-7, but this is not due Thursday.  Read pages 168 - 175.

Friday, April 29

Chemistry 11:  Today we worked on the Practice Test and Lab 20C.   Due Tuesday is the Practice Test and Lab 20C (all questions, no conclusion).  We will have a test on the Reactions Unit on Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023.

Science 8:  We went through pg 171 # 1-5, then we learned about refraction.  We watched this clip to try to understand why light refracts when it enters glass or plastic.  We did lab 5-3, and we only recorded the path of the light ray as it entered the block and as it exited the block.  We measured the angle of incidence and angle of refraction at each boundary, for a total of 4 angle measurements.  Angles are always measured agains the normal.
