Science 10

Big old lab safety review day and WHMIS symbol practice.  First we watched the video below and then filled in THIS sheet on all our safety equipment.    Safety quiz on TUESDAY, FEB. 2

Next we filled out the WHMIS practice sheet found HERE using the video below:

Finally, we practiced some scientific method and used THIS sheet to go over terms and steps of the scientific method.   Next we did a lab to measure how fast a candy coating would dissolve.  

Lab is HERE.  

Life Sciences 11

Today we got our course outlines.  Next we filled out a student survey for me to get to know you.  Finally we played a name game where we learned a little bit about each of our classmates.  

Homework due on Friday:  Find a picture in the textbook that speaks to you for some reason.  Tell me the page number and why this picture speaks to you.  What thoughts, emotions or memories does it bring up?  This is due on Friday.  

Anatomy and Physiology 12

 Practice, Practice for the final exam.  Practice set one is found HERE with answer key HERE.

Science 8

 Today we worked on REVIEW for the final exam.  Remember a few things:

1. You can make a cheat sheet for the exam.   1 piece of plain, blank paper- hand written only

2. You will be given a periodic table and the tectonic boundaries map

3. BRING:  Calculator, pencil, eraser

The reviews are found below:
