Today we practised drawing water molecules with their polar bonds, + and - dipoles and hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Next we wrote notes about water and finished off the power point from yesterday. We got our first set of Module Questions found HERE. Section A) Part A and Part B should be completed by Tuesday, Sept. 12.
Sept. 13 we will have a quiz on water, acids and bases and buffer systems.
Today we:
1) Turned in our textbook tour/scavenger hunt from last class as well as our signed course outline
2) Watched the video below on the scientific method and turned in two things you knew, two things you learned and 1 thing you wonder about
3) In groups we were given questions and then designed our own experiments to answer the question. Make sure you can determine what the independent and dependent variables should be for a proposed experiment.
This week we have been working on Scientific Method and a Chemistry Review to help you with the Biochemistry section of the course.
Power point is found HERE. Notesheet is HERE
In your textbook you should be reading and answering the Check your progress for the following sections:
Chapter 1: Read The process of Science Section and do check your progress questions
Chapter 2: Read 2.1 Basic Chemistry and 2.2 Molecules and Compounds and do check your progress questions for each section.
Welcome to Grade 9 Science!!! This year our focus is on chemical compounds, mitosis and meiosis and reproduction of cells, electricity and electrical circuits and cycling of nutrients in the environment.
This week we got the course outline found HERE.
Got our textbooks: BC Science Probe 9 and did a Textbook Scavenger hunt found HERE. (Due Friday, Sept. 8)
We also learned more about the Scientific Method. We used THIS note sheet to take notes.
Today we did the DAM tour, no I mean the tour of the dam! If you missed this, you need to complete THIS alternate assignment. We also had a bit of time to work on our Dream Day Meal Analysis. The Rubric for this is HERE.
Today we continued our notes on animals. We wrote notes on worms and mollusks found HERE. Next we watched some videos:
Today we looked at a REALLY enthusiastic YouTubers take on the Revelstoke Dam. Found below:
