Biology 12

Happy Halloween!!    A reminder that your module quiz is on Tuesday.  Here is the answer key to the module questions.  

Wednesday is the DNA quest day.  

Biology 12

 Today we finished off the last of the DNA unit.  Next we started brainstorming and preparing our biochemistry section review game.   DNA unit QUEST next Wednesday.  

We are doing THIS Review and THESE questions on DNA mutations tomorrow.   Review answers found HERE.  

Science 10

Today (or yesterday if you are in DH block) we did a practice quiz for our names and formulas of ionic compounds quiz that we will write tomorrow.  More practice HERE  Next we did a lab on physical and chemical changes.  Questions for this lab are HERE.  

Biology 12

Today we finished off the notes up to translation of a protein.  (See the power point from last entry).  Next we watched the rest of Crash Course DNA replication (just the last 5 minutes or so) and crash course on protein synthesis.  Module Questions- second page Protein Synthesis (A) protein synthesis and (B) Features of RNA.  

 Next class we will start making our biochemistry review game:   Bring stuff from home!!    Assignment is found HERE......this is not due for some time!

Science 10

Today we worked on balancing compounds and writing names of compounds for ionic and covalent compounds.  There is a quiz on FRIDAY on only ionic compounds.  Next we went over how to write up a lab report and we started working on the lab report for this lab:  Physical and Chemical Changes lab.  You should have the first sections written out up to the data table.  

Biology 12

Today we started the DNA section.  Check the blog entry from Thursday for Power point and notesheet.  Today we did the first page of the module.    Tomorrow we will do protein synthesis questions in the module:  Second page Section B:  A (protein synthesis)  and B (Features of RNA) (not the process of protein synthesis).

 We will also watch the rest of Crash Course on DNA replication and TEDed on Rosalind Franklin

 

Science 10

Today we reviewed naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds.  Next we took notes on names and formulas for covalent compounds.  Next we Practiced, practiced and practiced with THIS worksheet.  Answers found HERE.   You do not need to have this completed by tomorrow.  Just make sure you are working through it slowly and carefully!   Check answers after each section.   Here is a video on the hoaxes that were pulled on people about the covalent compound: Dihydrogen monoxide

Bio 12

Today we wrote our Quest on Cell Membrane, Transport and Enzymes.  Next we took a few notes on DNA......found HERE with THIS power point.   And of course, ye ol' module questions if you want to get a jump on next week.......

Science 10

Today (or yesterday depending on which class you are in) we did the quick quiz on subatomic particles, Bohr Models and Lewis dot structures.  We took notes on writing formulas and naming ionic compounds.  The notes are found HERE and power point HERE.   Make sure you do ALL the questions for homework if you did not finish them.  If you are confused, watch Tyler!

Science 10

Today we finally wrote the safety quiz......even though I wasn't there!   Next we did some practicing on Lewis Dot diagrams.   These are usually build for COVALENT compounds (2 non-metals).   We did THIS worksheet and turned in.   Make sure you have also completed yesterday's worksheet.  

We also practiced for the quiz tomorrow on subatomic particles.  Do this practice and check your answers HERE. 

Biology 12

I was sick again today!   That liver in the fridge might be getting a bit stinky:(     Instead of the lab, we studied for the QUEST on Thursday on cell membrane, transport and enzymes.  Do the practice test and all module questions.  Module answers found HERE.   

Science 10

SAFETY QUIZ TOMORROW!!   We looked at our practice quiz and made sure we reviewed the WHMIS symbols.   Today we did some work on Ionic and Covalent Compound recognizing as well as Lewis dot diagrams.  We took THESE notes with THIS Power point.  Do these practice problems.

Wednesday or Thursday (depending on the block) we will have a quiz on recognizing how many electrons, protons and neutrons are in an isotope given it's symbol.  Bohr models will also be on there.

Here's professor Dave and some Lewis dot theory.  The 1s2p etc. isn't important for us, and the double bonds are for extension.  

Biology 12

QUEST on Cell Membrane, Transport and Enzymes coming up on THURSDAY!!  Test objectives HERE.  Practice test HERE.  and the KEY for the practice.  

Good enzyme video:  

Biology 12

 We were supposed to do a lab today, but I was sick so we worked on the potato lab instead.   Got THIS worksheet as well as THIS one to practice ENZYMES!!

Science 10

 Welllllll,

I was sick today and switched the plan.   If you were in class you should do the following worksheet HERE using a computer simulation.   If you weren't there do THIS instead.  Either way you should be able to calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in different atoms and ions.   Make sure you can write the standard symbol to show different isotopes.   

Quick safety quiz on Monday, we will look at the practice quiz first and have some time to review.  

Science 10

 Check out the Wednesday blog entry for what went on during the double block.  

Science 10

 Today we finished off the notes on ATOMS and subatomic particles from Tuesdays class.  Practice questions HERE.   Make sure you can draw some Bohr models and calculate #protons, #neutrons and #electrons in atoms and ions.   Next we did a coolie lab on Flame Colours of Metal ions.  This is found HERE.   watch it on you tube if you weren't with us:

  

Biology 12

Today we took notes on Enzymes.  Power point is found HERE.  Notes are HERE.   

Module questions on Enzymes (Section B: Enzyme Action) do up to question 11 in part B.  

Biology 12

Today we had the last day with the computers and worked on our solute concentration of potatoes lab.   We also got a review of cell membrane and transport.  This is found HERE.  Answers posted tomorrow.    We are finished chapter 4 (Cell membrane and transport) and starting enzymes tomorrow.  

Science 10

Today we reviewed the safety rules and lab equipment used in the classroom.  Safety quiz coming up on Friday.  Use the textbook on page xiv-xvii to answer these practice questions and these whims symbols.  

Next we started CHEMISTRY UNIT.  We started THESE notes using THIS power point.  

Science 10

Today we wrote our Biology unit test.  Make sure you have turned in your visual dictionary and Test Review for this unit.  Next we worked on some safety in preparation for the lab component of the Chemistry unit coming up on TUESDAY!!

Read Safety in the Science Classroom page xiv-xvii at the front of the textbook.  Complete the WHMIS worksheet and safety worksheet with the amoeba sisters lab safety video:
