Chemistry 11:  Today we did Lab 23B, which was due by the end of the class.  No homework, except to bring some ingredients perhaps for our Baking reaction tomorrow.  [TC, 2 cups white sugar; CC, 1 C butter; Elliot 4 eggs; TH,  2 tsp baking soda,].  If you can, we still need the following items { 1 Cup Walnuts, 2 Tsp Salt, 1 Cup Chocolate chips, 1 tsp baking powder)

Life Science 11:  Nice work!  Your Final will be marked soon.  Retrieve your binder contents from room 313 by Friday next week or they will be sent to the great recycling bin out back:)

Life Sciences 11: After bubbling your responses to the Practice Test Multiple Choice section, we did the Frog Dissection.  An answer key to the Written Response section was made available too, see it by clicking here.  Tomorrow we will write your Final Exam in the afternoon, no cheatsheet, but you wont need that anyway.  Thanks for all your hard work!    

Chemistry 11:  Nice work!  Your Final Exam has been written!  I will have it scored as soon as I can:).  Labs will happen Thursday and Friday.

 Life Sciences:  Today we did the Grasshopper dissection and learned human circulatory and reproductive anatomy.  Due Wednesday is the Mock Final.  Your final exam is on Thursday.

Chemistry 11:  After the Organic Test we spent time on Lab 16B and on Final Exam Review.  Tomorrow is your final, and you will be given a new, fresh, databooklet.  The Mock final WR answers can be found by clicking here.

 

 Life Sciences 11:  We started off with a review of Arthropods, Molluscs, and Echinoderms.  Time was given to read an article on the Mountain Pine Beetle.  We watched this clip on Chordates, then we labelled the Frog Anatomy Diagram.

Chemistry 11:  Prepare for your Organic Test on Tuesday.  Final Exam on Wednesday.  Labs on Thursday and Friday mornings.

 Chemistry 11:  Today we did a lesson on ester formation, and we tried 6 reactions on our homemade worksheet.  Everyone did an Organic Chemistry Practice test, which is due Monday.  The Organic Test will be on Tuesday and the Final exam will be on Wednesday am.   On Thursday and Friday we will do lab 7A and Lab 22B. 

Life Science 11:  The Nematode Lab was reviewed first.  Notes on Arthropods and a short clip on Arthropods followed.  We labelled a grasshopper anatomy diagram and finished our trilobite models.  In the second half we watched a short clip on Echinoderms and did an echinoderm crossword.  Next week we will have a zoology test on Tuesday and a final exam on Thursday afternoon.   

 Chemistry 11:  After a practice quiz we learned how to draw and name Aromatics. Time was given to do Unit 10 # 30 and 31, as well as to finish lab 16D.  In the second half we learned about drawing and naming alcohols and did WS #9.  All of this work is due Thursday.

Life Sciences 11: We began with a short lesson on segmented round worms and an anatomy sheet showing the internal structure of the common Earth Worm. We watched this short clip on Annelids, the phylum that contains round segmented worms such as blood leeches and burrowing marine and land worms. In the second half, we  read pg 322 to 325 and did the Case Study on page 328 and 329.

 Biology 11:  We started with the Flatworm Lab (Platyhelminthes).  You might find these links handy, since we don't have any live planaria to work with.

Post Secondary Biology Assignment, Life Science 11

You are the Executive Assistance of Dr. Evil, and he wants you research post secondary options for his only cloned child, Mini Me.  Biology related Programs at 5 nearby Post Secondary Institutes (PSIs) is what he wants.  [Biology, Health Sciences, Nursing, Foresty, Kinesiology, Ecology, Agriculture, etc].  

This is the list of information he would like:

Name of PSI, Exact names of several Biology programs available, Number of Students attending the PSI, Distance in km from Revelstoke, availability of Campus Residence, Cost for 1 year residence,  Tuition cost for 1 year,  average yearly rainfall, average yearly hours of sunshine.   

He also wants to know if you have ever been to the campus personally.  Put all this information on an excel spreadsheet, and when you are done see Mr. Gale for one last task.

When you are done-done, you will print to PDF, and send the PDF to Mr. Gale in an email using Office 365.

Chemistry 11:  Unit 10 # 16-20 and 22-25 due Tuesday.
