Science 10

Today we did some quick questions then wrote a safety quiz and then did some notes on ionic compounds and Lewis dot diagrams.  Finally we did a lab:  8A in the old text (pg. 225).  Make sure you bring your data back to class on Friday, but the lab doesn't need to be finished.

Today we reviewed our IONIC formula writing and naming.   Next we looked at some safety videos.   Make sure you review the safety rules on page 108-110 including the WHIMIS symbols.   Do questions #1-5 page 111.   #6: Draw out WHIMIS symbols and explain what they are.

Today we took some notes on bacteria and did a distribution of bacteria lab.  Make sure you complete Lab Report Outline: 1-4 and Data Table (Lab 1).  We got back our Virus Questions.  Make sure you check the answers to there found HERE. 

Biology 12

Today we looked at protein synthesis in more detail.....we did a little build a protein assignment.  Make sure you have completed Part B of the DNA module questions:  A, B, C we will have a homework check on these next class. 

Science 10

Today we took notes on balancing and writing formulas for IONIC compounds.  Ionic compounds happen when you have a metal + non-metal.   (positive + negative ion)

We completed a worksheet to practice and started watching a lab safety video.  Stay tuned for what happens to the googleless lady.........

Biology 11

Today we finished off our two microscope labs.  The first lab was to see what orientation things had under the microscope and the second was to determine actual size and drawing magnification of objects. 

Biology 12

Today we took notes on DNA transcription and translation....turning DNA into mRNA and then making an amino acid chain.    Make sure you have turned in your DNA replication cuttin' and pastin' from Friday.  Today's homework (due Thursday):  Module questions Section B: Protein Synthesis- A, B and C.    Here is a good link to a video to show protein synthesis steps.
