Sci 8: Tues Apr 7 - Unit 3: Matter Intro

Today we introduced Unit 3: Matter. We took some intro notes with some of the basic ideas we'll need throughout the unit, and then we looked at a couple of simulations: the scale of the universe, and the way particles are attracted to each other. You'll continue investigating this tomorrow after the Unit 2: Disease & Immunity test.

HS 101: Tues Apr 7 - AI

 Today we had a chance to discuss AI - what it actually is, the key idea of how it works, and its limitations. We watched the first 3 Code.org AI videos and then you had some project work time. 4 classes to go!

Chem 12: Tues Apr 7 - Changing Solubility

 Today we cranked through the final new material for Unit 3. Here are the notes on Changing Solubility; practice on pg. 108 # 81 - 86.

Sci 8: Thurs Apr 2 - Review time

 Today we had some time to finish up the Concept Map and Review Assignment. Happy Easter!

Chem 12: Thurs Apr 2 - Selective Precipitation and Lab 19C

 Today we had a look at how to selectively precipitate specific ions in order to do a qualitative analysis. Here are the notes (we'll revisit the questions later). Then you did Lab 19C, precipitating some Lead (II) Iodide. Labs will be due on Wed April 8th.

HS 101: Wed Apr 1 - Workplace Safety

 Today we had a look at Workplace safety; remember your right to refuse unsafe work! After that discussion, we had some project work time.

Chem 12: Tues Mar 31 - Minimum [ ] for precipitation.

 Today we had a look at the minimum [ ] needed for precipitations to occur. We took some notes, you practiced on pg. 98 #65 - 69. At the end, you received the Ksp Assignment (due at the end of Thursday).

Sci 8: Tues Mar 31 - Concept Map work time

 Today we had more time to finish off your concept map project. If you didn't finish, there will be time during our double block to finish, but your Review Assignment is also due at the end of that day, so plan your time accordingly!

Chem 12: Mon Mar 30 - Ktrial and Precipitation calculations

 Today we did some good QQ recap of before the break, and then we looked at how to calculate Ktrial values to determine if a precipitate will form. Here are the notes (just pgs. 1 & 2), and the practice is on pg. 98 #56 - 64.

HS 101: Mon Mar 30 - 7 Classes Left & PPT intro

 Today we had a look at the last few things we'll be doing in our 7 remaining classes. Then we introduced our powerpoint projects and you had some work time!

Sci 8: Mon Mar 30 - Concept Map Review

 Today we had some Unit 2 review time in the form of the Concept Map Review project. You also received the Unit 2 Review Assignment which will be due during Thursday's double block.

Sci 8: Fri Mar 13 - Unit 2 Recap

 After your QQQ today, we did a recap of our Unit 2: Disease & Immunity. We also watched a couple videos that summarized Tetanus, Allergies, and the Lines of Defence in your Immune System.

Chem 12: Fri Mar 13 - Ksp

 After the QQQ today, we had a look at Ksp calculations (like Keq calculations, but for solutions specifically). Practice on pg. 95 #42 - 55. Have a great Spring Break!

Chem 12: Thurs Mar 12 - Solubilities

 Today we covered quite a bit of material, but most of it was review from Chem 11: we defined solubility in terms of equilibrium at saturation, calculated solubility [ ]'s, and then after break we looked at low solubility combinations and precipitates. We had a couple of J.o.W questions, and then you had some practice: pg. 76 #3 - 7, pg. 77 #8 -17, pg. 83 #21,22,24, and pg. 87 #25. Do what you need to master this stuff!

Sci 8: Thurs Mar 12 - When the immune system doesn't work properly

 Today we had a few extra Quick Questions, and then we went over the questions on Pg. 109. After that you read pgs. 110-114 and then we took some notes summarizing what you read. After that, we did some J.o.W. and watched a couple videos about Smallpox Eradication and Vaccinations.
