Science 8:  We began with a short review of wave anatomy, then we went over the answers to page 138 # 1-5.  The Wave Measurement WS was completed, then the Pendulum Lab.  In the second half we took brief notes on Light, then we read pages 145 - 149 and completed pg 151 # 1-10, 12 in sentences.  This short clip demonstrates refraction.  The WS and page 151 are due Friday.  Please bring a ruler and calculator each day.

Chemistry 12:  We completed the solubility Test in the first half, then learned about Conjugate acid- base pairs.  We read section 4.5, then completed Unit 4 # 1-19.  We prepared Lab 20B today too.  

Tuesday, November 12: 

Science 8:  First day with Ms. Rodman, a student teacher joining us for November.  We learned about the anatomy of a wave and we did some practice calculating frequency (page 138 # 1-5).  The Chemistry Unit Test was completed today too.

Chemistry 11:  We completed Lab 6B today, and it is due on Thursday (all Questions, Follow-up Questions, and a Conclusion).

Chemistry 12:  We took brief notes on Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases, the we read section 4.4 and completed unit 4 # 1-14.  This is not due, because the Solubility test is tomorrow.

Chemistry 12:  We began the Acids and Bases Unit today with some sour candies and brief notes.  We read section 4.1 to 4.3 and completed # 1-10 in Unit 4.  The second half was spent completing the Solubility Practice test - WR #6 is not fair and can be omitted.  Click here to see the key.  The practice Test is due on Tuesday, and the Solubility Unit Test is on Wednesday.

Science 8:  We marked part of the Chemistry Practice Test, which was due today. The answer key is posted here.  We worked on the Heat Lab today.  First was a demonstration of Convection, and we sketched the convection tube and explained in brief point form how convection currents occur.  Part D was a  more advanced experiment to see which metal was the best conductor:  Steele, Copper, Brass, Nickel, or Aluminum.   A bar graph was drawn to show the results and everyone was asked to sketch a superior cooking pot with lid, showing the best places for specific metals to be used.  We finished off by learning about angles and how to draw them carefully.  

Grade 8 Boys Volleyball:

North Zone Play-offs in Lumby.  Matches at 4:00. 6:00, and possibly 7:00.  Leave the school at 11:45 am.  

Roster announced soon.

 Chemistry 11:  We completed the legal sized WS titled "Finding Limiting Reactant and Reactant in Excess, and we did Day 1 for Lab 6B.  For the lab, Calculations # 1 a, 1b, and 2-4 were also completed.    

Tuesday, November 5th

Chemistry 11:  We completed the WS titled "Limiting Reactant and Reactant in Excess" WS, and we tried a practice quiz on writing reaction products.  A little time was provided to prepare Lab 6B.

Science 8:  Today we did the Heat Experiment parts A and B (Conduction and Convection).  No work is due for this Experiment.  We also completed the Chemistry Practice Test, and this is due on Thursday.  Your test will now be on Tuesday.  

Chemistry 12:  We took brief notes on Altering the Solubility of a Salt, then we read 3.10 and completed # 81- 86, which is due on Thursday.  Our Solubility Test will be on Wednesday November 13th.

 Science 8:  We reviewed electrons, protons, and neutrons before we finished Lab 10-3.  All the Analyze and Conclude and Apply problems (in fine sentences) are due tomorrow.  This clip shows the interactions between saline water and fresh water at an estuary.  We will have a Chemistry Practice Test on Tuesday, and a Chemistry Unit Test on Thursday.  In the last minutes we learned briefly about determining the frequency of repetitive motion, such as wave forms.  This site has wave animations, and we determined the frequecy of both the transverse wave and the longitudinal wave.   We also watched Usain's 9.58 s 100m race in Berlin, and found the frequency of his footsteps.

Chemistry 12:  We completed a short review WS on Solubility topics, then read section 3.5 (separation of ions by precipitation) and completed Unit 3 # 26 - 32 and 37-38 (due Tuesday).  Ensure that all the Unit 3 practice problems are complete, because we are close to a Solubilily Unit Test (Tuesday, November 12).  So far we have completed Unit 3 # 1-10, 15, 18, 20a-d, 40-52, 56-66.  Whew! You have learned a lot in the first half of this course.  

Chemistry 11:  Lab 6A was collected today.   After a mini review of writing products and balancing reactions, we read Hebdon Section 6.6 and completed # 68-80 (due Tuesday).  If there was time, preparing Lab 6B is a good thing to do, but this is not due Tuesday.  In the last minutes we wrote a quiz on writing products, balancing, and stoichometry.

Science 8:  The WS titled Measurement Review was handed in today, after a short review.  Today we did Lab 10-3, using the kits we made on Wednesday.   

Chemistry 12:  A review sheet called Review of 3.1 to 3.6 was completed first, with an answer key posted at the side.  We tried unit 3 # 59 and 65 together, then completed Unit 3 # 56 - 66, which is due on Monday.  Click here to see an answer key.  I should now have Lab 19C.  

Chemistry 11:   After a short review on determining products and balancing, we learned about stoichiometry.  Due next class is Unit 7 # 1-4.  A little time was provided to finish lab 6A, which is due on Monday.
