Chemistry 11

Today we did more naming and drawing alkane structures.  We looked at cycloakanes, and alkyl halides.  Homework:  pg. 223  Ex: 15, 16 (a-c) and pg. 225  Ex: 17, 18 (a-c)

Biology 12

Today we used our BRAINs to learn about the conscious and unconscious Brain.  Do module questions G and label the brain. 

Biology 12

Today we continued with the nerve impulse by looking at what happens when the nerve impulse gets to the end of one axon.......it has to be communicated to the next neuron by means of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft.    Homework:  Module questions D. 

Chemistry 11

We continued with organic chemistry and naming alkanes (compounds with C and H). 

Homework:  pg. 219 Ex: 3,  pg. 220 Ex: 5, 6   pg. 221 Ex: 8 (a-e)

Chemistry 11

Today we started our last unit!!    Organic Chemistry.   We took notes on writing formulas and naming hydrocarbon molecules with only single bonds (alkanes).  Make sure you get these notes if you were away.

Biology 12

Today we learned about the action potential.  This is what sends a nerve impulse down a neuron.  We watched the crash course video, took notes from a power point and answered a few review questions.  If you missed it:  Go to the link here and download notes and question.    http://msjclassbio12.blogspot.ca/p/nervous-system.html

Biology 12

Today we wrote the Respiratory/Excretory Unit Test.   Next we looked at the anatomy of a neuron and made some neuron models on our desks with modelling clay.
