Science 9:  We began by going over the Volume WS and reviewing key ideas about safety and elements.  After measuring a specific volume of water (it had to be a perfect square)  in a graduated cylinder, we wrote brief note on the Chemistry.  We read pages 102 to 109 and completed page 95 # 1-3 and page 115 # 4-7, both are due Monday.  Also on Monday, I would like to check your supplies (pencils/pens, calculator,  ruler, binder, paper, graph paper (20 sheets), & textbook).

Science 8:  We began by going over the Volume WS and reviewing key ideas about safety and measurement.  After measuring a specific volume of water (it had to be a multiple of 9)  in a graduated cylinder, we wrote brief note on the Chemistry.  We read pages 252 - 253 and completed page 253 # 1-4 and page 249 # 1-4; both are due Monday.  Also on Monday, I would like to check your supplies (pencils/pens, calculator,  ruler, binder, paper, & textbook).

 Science 9:  First we reviewed safety procedures and equipment, then we drew a map of the classroom, hallway, and exit route for a fire drill.  We labelled all the safety equipment, as well as the nearest firt extinguisher and firepull outside the room.  We then observed some elements and compounds and recorded their properties.  We learned how to measure volume to the nearest one-tenth of the smallest division and completed the Volume WS.  In the last few minutes we read pages 88-93 but did not complete page 95 # 1-3 in point form.  Also, on Monday I would like to check your supplies: calculator, pens/pencils, calculator, ruler, paper, 20 sheet of graph paper, textbook.

Science 8:   First we reviewed safety procedures and equipment, then we drew a map of the classroom, hallway, and exit route for a fire drill.  We labelled all the safety equipment, as well as the nearest fire extinguisher and fire-pull outside the room.   We then began learning about the Kinetic Molecular theory , using this animation to help us visualize atoms and molecules.  In the second half of class we completed the Volume WS to help us learn how to measure like scientists.   Finally, we read pages 246-249 and completed page 249 # 1-5 in sentences.  All this is due for Friday.  Also, on Friday I would like to check your supplies: calculator, pens/pencils, calculator, ruler, paper, textbook. 

Science 8:  First we went through the fire drill procedure.  We then went through the course outline before categorizing the Lab Safety Rules.  We also drew and labelled the 10 WHMIS symbols.  At 1:30 we went to the library to get our textbooks.  Due next class is your signed outline.  Please have all your materials by Friday.

 Science 8:  Yes!  You're done!  Thanks for all your hard work and have a terrific Semester 2!  Please pick up your binder contents by Wednesday, January 28th.  After this day, the paper will be recycled.  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We spent time looking over the Practice Final and considering our mistakes and forgotten things.  We did some practice on areas that need the most work.  We did a second practice final too.  Click here to see the answer key.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

 Chemistry 11 DH:  Yeah!  Its done!  Hope you have a terrific semester 2.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log. 

 

Chemistry 11:  We completed the 60 minute Mock Final today.  Period DH received theirs by the end of the double block.  AE will get it back next class.  Final Exam for DH Tuesday morning.

Friday, January 16th

Science 8:  After a review of density, states of matter, and relative age, we did Lab 12E from a hand-out.  We ordered a number of index fossils from youngest to oldest, creating a "geological column".  In the final minutes we watched a little more of National Geographic "Volcano" and spoke about preparing for your final exam (memorize class notes, redo portions of assignments, arrange a quizfest with a friend).  Click here to see the Science 8 Assignment Log. 

Chemistry 11:  We wrote the Organic Unit Test after handing in the Practice Test.  We spent the remaining time on Lab 7B and on the 3 year end review WS.  Click here to see the YER of Reactions answer key. Click here to see the answer key for the Solutions YER. and here for the Moles YER key.  Click here to see the Chemistry 11 Assignment Log.
