Science 10:  Today we did Lab 10D from the old Science Probe 10 textbook as one of our last year end review activities.  This was handed in before you left.  We spent the rest of the class working on Year End Review assignments.  Your Final Exam is on Friday morning - make sure you arrive with your supplies:  calculator, pencils and pens.  You are welcome to see me on Thursday after 11:00 if you need some assistance  with anything (My Chem 11s write their final Thurs am)

Chemistry 11:  Today we ate delicious pie that Jade-Lyn made, did an Organic Unit Test ,and a mock mini final. Tomorrow you will write your final exam in Room 313.  You will be sharing the room with the Math 10 Provincial Exam writers.  Please make sure you have your supplies with you:  calculator, pencils, erasers, ruler.  Thank you Jade-Lyn for the superb treats!

Science 9:  Today we had half of write the Chemistry Unit Test, and half do Lab 3C on Electrostatics.

Science 10:  Today we did some review of Chemistry and then did another final exam from the Ministry Website.  I want you to send me the PDF of our results either to my Dropbox or to my email account (gale@sd19.bc.ca).  I have added a little more YER:  a WS titled "Tour de Databooklet" and another on Geology.

Physics 11:  Today we wrote a Final Exam.  Well done!  Grades will be posted ASAP.  I collected binder contents today too - they can be picked up by next Monday.

Science 9:  Half of us did a Chemistry Unit Test, and the other half did Lab 3C on Static Electricity.  Tomorrow morning we will switch.


Physics 11:  today we wrote a Modern Physics Test and a mini mock final exam (this one will only count if it helps your Term 2 grade).  Your Final is on Monday morning.  Make sure you bring all your tools (calculator, multiple pencils, eraser, ruler, protractor) and a drink and silent snack if you want.  I want the contents of your Physics binder on Monday am and this can be picked up the following week if you want it back. (binder contents not claimed by Feb 15th will be recycled)

Chemistry 11:  Today we spent time on the Organic Practice test.  Next class we will do the Organic Test and a mini practice final (which will count for term 2 if it betters your current percentage).

Science 10:  Spent the whole class on Review.  Work steadily on the YER tasks I have provided for you (Text Ch 8 Review, Motion YER all MC, Ch 3 Review WS, Processes of Science WS, Text Ch 9 Review.  Check the school schedule for your final exam time and location.

Science 9:  Chemistry Practice Test on Monday or Tuesday, whichever you chose.

Science10:  Spend some time preparing for your final.  Use the review material I have provided, and/or spend time redoing portions of old assignments.

Physics 11:  Today we did the Modern Physics Practice test, and many of us started a Kinmatics YER

Chemistry 11:  WS # 9 and Unit 10 # 30, 31.  Friday will be for the Organic Pr. Test.

Science 10:  pg 331 # 1-3,9.  Check your answers with the key on the side counter.  We are working on Year End Review, and so far I have offered you a Motion Review, Chapter 8 (Chemistry) review and a Chapter 3 (Ecology Review).  Work through these as steadily as you can, mark your own with the posted keys, then give your completed to me for a small credit and I will give you the next one:)

Physics 11:  pg 642 # 1-3,5,6.  Modern Physics Practice test, and we will do the Unit Test on Friday.  Also on Friday will be a Mini Final (all topics, meant to be done in about 60 min).  I will count the Mini Final as a unit test only if it helps your Term 2 grade.  Your final is on Monday morning.

Chemistry 11:  WS # 6 on Cis and Trans isomerism with alkenes (due Thursday).  You have a moles YER WS, which is not due but would make good final exam prep.

Science 10:  Today I collected the Half-Life WS.  pg  317 # 2,4,5,10 due Wednesday.  We are working through some Year End Review:  some of you started with Motion and others with Chemistry, but neither of these are due tomorrow.  Spend some time on final exam prep.

Science 9:  pg 247 # 3-7 is not due Thursday.  Today I collected pg 244 # 2,4,5,7-11 from most of you... some will give it to me on Thursday.

Chemistry 11:  WS #4 on Alkenes and Alkynes.  I collected Lab 7B today.

Physics 11:  We worked on 4 problems from a hand-out involving Relativistic Addition of Velocities (due Wed).  We also did a review/lab activity where we found the index of refraction, the critical angle, and the speed of light in a non-air material (not due Wed).
