Biology 12
Today we discussed the fact that besides water there are four main types of chemical compounds in our bodies. They are: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids (fats) and Nucleic Acids. One thing they all have in common is that they are all polymers (chains of repeating units).
We looked at how polymers are made: By dehydration synthesis and how they are broken down into their small units: By hydrolysis.
Next we looked in depth at carbohydrates and learned of some monomer and polymer names.
HOMEWORK: Complete Section A part C) Biological Molecules of the Cell for tomorrow.
Second Block: We did a lab on Antacid Buffers. This will be due next Friday Feb. 10th.

Chemistry 11
Today we took lots of notes on how to express measurements in Chemistry. Notes on metric conversions with two steps, scientific notation and significant figures.
We got ready to do our first lab, but did not start it yet. We will begin this Friday.
Homework: Finish setting up and reading lab 1A pg. 1-8 in the lab manual
Hebden: pg. 28 #42, pg. 29 #44, pg. 32 #48, pg. 33 #49.

Biology 12
Today we had some review questions on water:
1) What three functions does water serve in the body?
2) Draw and label a molecule of water.
Took notes on Acids, Bases and Buffers.
Topic 1, Section A part B (Acids, Bases) should be completed for tomorrow.
We also looked at how a disease might be spread through a population with an Acid/Base indicator as our test

Today we discussed safety equipment in our Chemistry Lab. We drew a map of the room and labelled: fire extinguisher, fire blanket, eyewash station, emergency shower, spill kits, broken glass container, first aid kit, fume hood and safety goggles.
Homework: Safety map completed with all equipment labelled and an explanation of when and how to use the equipment.
Safety Quiz: Wednesday February 1.
