Science 10

Today we finished off the notes on atoms and subatomic particles from yesterday.  Next we did this worksheet to practice figuring out protons, neutrons and electrons.   Finally we went to the computer lab to write up conclusions for the scientific method lab and we completed the flame test lab.  

Science 10

Today we got our safety quiz back.  Now we can lab it up!  If you want to redo the WHMIS portion of the safety quiz review the pictures HERE.   Today we reviewed some grade 9 concepts about the periodic table and atoms.  We took some notes (the first 5 pages) using this power point.  

We did a worksheet on ATOMS and BOHR models.  This is due tomorrow if you aren't finished.   Finally we did a lab on flame testing.  Hold on to this and bring back tomorrow.  

Finally we watched a video on Fireworks:  So cooool!!

Science 10

 Today we watched a video to review safety

and answered these questions with it.   We also reviewed WHMIS symbols with this sheet.   There is a power point HERE that goes with it.    Finally we got a peak into our textbook with THIS set of questions.   Complete these for homework if you didn't get it done in class.  

Biology 12

 Coming up on Monday, parts of the Brain and the Division of the Nervous System and then BAM!  We are done!!

Practice questions for Nervous System found HERE.  and Key HERE. 

Biology 12

Thanks to Mr. B for his presentation on a complicated pregnancy!   

Biology 12

Today we finished off the notes on the nervous system by looking at the nerve action potential for nerve impulses.  

Check yesterday's worksheet on the structure of nerves HERE.  

We got a review for the exam the answers to the MC are posted HERE

Biology 12

Today we wrote the Quest on the urinary/respiratory systems.  Next we took some notes on the nervous system.  Power point HERE and notes HERE.  Finally we had to do this worksheet on different types of nerve cells.   

Biology 12

Today we finished off the urinary system with a kidney dissection and a microscope drawing of the kidneys.  We took some notes on acid/base balance in the body (found at the end of the respiratory chapter in your textbook).   

More Urinary System videos and practice below.  Make sure you do the practice test (answers are posted in yesterday's blog) Module questions are due tomorrow (answers were posted a few days ago).

Biology 12

 Today we watched crash in biology on the urinary system (part 1) and answered THESE questions.   

Next we took some more notes on urine formation by going through THESE notes.  Finally we worked on module questions (all are due on Wednesday- which is the QUEST day for urinary and respiratory systems) and worked on test reviews found HERE(1)and HERE(2)

Answers to the test reviews are HERE(1) and HERE(2) 

Part 2 Crash course is found below.  

Biology 12

Today we started (and finished!) the urinary system.  We watched crash course in biology:

Next we got some notes on the excretory system found HERE.    We dissected the pig's respiratory and urinary systems.  Finally we completed the Module Questions up to and including (B) Kidney Structure and Function.  Answers to the module are found HERE.  

Practice Questions for the final exam:https://msjensensblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/provincial-exam-multiple-choice-question-guide-2000.pdf

Biology 12

 Today we finished off the respiratory system and then started the module questions on these.  Tomorrow you should have up to G1 completed.

Next we went to the computer lab to start on our body systems research projects.  Here are some examples of past projects:

Appendix (Well researched and cited in the author's own words)

Medical cannabis use for digestive system problems (Some areas not rewritten in the author's own words, interesting topics, but not all medical concepts are fully explained.  Some sources are not "reputable") 

Bell's palsy (Missing in-text citations and not referenced properly at the end.   Good topic with current information)  

Biology 12

Today we wrote the QUEST on Circulatory System.  Next we started the respiratory system with these notes from this power point.  Finish the worksheet on inspiration/expiration and internal and external respiration.  

Biology 12

 HELLLLLLO it is spring break, but if anyone is checking this.....There is a practice test for the circulatory system found HERE and .HERE is the answer key to the practice test.   

Today we did The Heart:  Sounds and Pressure lab.  No cigarettes were used in the process!   We only completed A and B in class before break.   Make sure you complete the table with your heart rate under different conditions.  Next we got our body systems mini research paper HERE.  Finally we were assigned all the module questions except H.   Check your answers HERE for module questions.  

Next we watched a short documentary on a heart attack.  What parts are accurate and what parts are not accurate?

Biology 12

Today we looked at the heart and heart beat.  Module questions A and B with diagrams due tomorrow.  These videos are good to help you visualize the heart beating:

Biology 12

 Today we wrote our Digestive System test.  Nice work!!   Next we started on the circulatory system by doing the first couple of pages of this note sheet with the power point found HERE.   Module questions were given out, but not assigned unless you are busy the rest of the week.  

Anatomy colouring of the heart will be due for marks.  

Biology 12

 Today we did some more review for the digestive system test.  Check your module answers HERE.  Module quiz is tomorrow.  

Biology 12

Today we finished off the Digestive System notes with this power point.  Next we worked on Module F and G (1 and 2) finally we worked on a life size digestion picture.
