Chemistry 11:  At the start I collected signed outlines and showed everyone an answer key to the States of Matter and KMT WS.   We took notes on "Chemistry", read 3.1 and 3.2, and completed Unit III #s 1-3, 5, 13-15, 22, 24.  Answers are at the back, and this assignment is due Friday.  We discussed how being on time, bring the right supplies, completing all coursework, and treating everyone well are important for maximizing your performance and for making Chemistry at least partly enjoyable.
We observed a number of examples of matter, some were mixtures and some were pure. 

Chemistry 12:  The WS titled Rates of Reaction is due Thursday.  Answers below in blue.

1)  .0370 mol Cu
2)  0.000 27 g Mg per s
3)a.  0.014 g Cu/s;   b)  0.000 22 mol Cu/s
4)a.  .0071 g Zn/s;  b)  A higher concentration causes a faster reaction rate;  c)  28 s
5)  .428 mL CO2/s
6) a)  slope decreases, so rate decreases over time;  b)  Oxygen from the air is reacting with Fe and forming a solid product.  The additional mass is due to oxygen atoms;  c)  0.520 g O2/day;  d)  answers will vary on this... my tangent had a slope of 0.44 gO2 per day.
7)  0.144 mol HNO3

Chemistry 11: WS titled Kinetic Molecular Theory and the States of Matter, due Thursday.  Read section 1.1 and make the map as directed.   Graph paper and the rest of your supplies will be checked on Friday.

Below are Final Grades for your Semester 1 classes with me.  The SchExamS1 is the column with your percent score on the Final Exam.  The Final column is your course percentage.  Thanks for all your hard work!  High performance is mostly about the hours you spend developing your skills - I really appreciate all the hard work you put into your studies.  Have a terrific Semester 2.

Science 10 (P56):  Today we wrote Version 1 of the Science 10 Final and we handed in the contents of our Science Binders.  Be sure to pick these up by next Tuesday, or they will be recycled.  Also, ensure that your textbook has been returned to the library.  Final Exam scores will be posted to myed.ca as soon as possible.  Thanks for all your hard work!

Chemistry 11:  Today we determined the concentration of a saturated solution, and we wrote and handed in a short lab report. 

Science 10 (P56):  We did Lab 5A, and attempted to show the Law of Conservation of Mass.  There was an attached WS to do as part of our Chemistry Year End Review.  Be sure to be prepared for your Final tomorrow - Calculator, pencils, erasers, pens, rulers etc.    You will also need to hand in your text to the Library, and hand in the contents of your Binder. 

Chemistry 11:  A super hard working day today - well done everyone!  Organic Test on Friday.  Final exam next week.  Due Friday is the Organic Practice Test.

Science 10:  You accomplished a lot today, well done!  We began with the promised 25 minutes to work on the Astronomy Practice Test, which is due Friday (tomorrow).  You will have an astronomy test on tomorrow.   We also did most of the procedure for Lab 8.4, Precipitates. We will finish this on Friday after your test.   Final Exam next week.

Chemistry 11:  WS titled Concentration of Ions is due Thursday.  The Organic Practice Test was given out today, but it is due Friday, the day of your Organic Test. 

Science 10:  Today we learned about the Big Bang Theory, and we modelled the Expanding Universe with a balloon.  We also started the Astronomy Unit Practice Test today.
