Science 8

I was sick today, but class went on!   Thanks to our great TOC you started the Electromagnetic Spectrum Fold able notesheet.   If you are not in school and need an alternative, please do the attached worksheet HERE.   

Science 8

Today in the double block we wrote the test on the Matter Unit.  Next we read page 130-138 and did the Reading Check on page 138.   We also watched Bill Nye (Waves) in block 3/4. 

Biology 11

Today we had a quick Fungi Quiz.  Finished fun Fungi!
Next we started with the non-vascular land plants: Mosses.  First we watched good 'ol Hank

Next we did a Moss Reading Guide found HERE.  Finally we got SNOWY and went outside to dig up moss so that we could so a moss lab.  This is due on Friday along with the moss reading guide.

Practice QUIZ on Fungi:
1)B      2)D     3)B     4)C      5)A     6)C     7)D      8)A       9)D      10)B        11)B      12)D     

13)B    14)A       15)B       16)C       17)C       28)C

Part II) Fungi should not be confused with plants as they don't contain chlorophyll and don't photosynthesize, they have cell walls made of chitin and not cellulose.  Fungi are HETEROTROPHIC not AUTOTROPHIC.

TEST ON MATTER (Chapter 7) in the double block.  Use the unit review given to you and vocabulary words to study!

Practice test for matter unit found HERE.  Answers are: 1) B     2) C    3) A     4) D   
5) D        6)A          7) C       8) D      9) B     10) D       11) C       12) C      18) C

Short answer:  1) Solids have a definite shape as the particles are so tightly packed, that they are unable to slide past each other.        2) Gas particles can easily slide past each other to take whatever shape the container is.

On graph-- solid water is at 0 degrees C.  Boiling water is close to 100 degrees C.  Energy goes into change of state.

Today we watched a video on the 3 major Fungi Phyla that we need to know about.

We took notes on the Fungi Lifecycle.  Finally we got a Fungi Colouring Sheet due tomorrow.   Fungi Quiz coming up on Wednesday!!

Science 8

Today we completed the matter unit by looking at subatomic particles and taking notes on them with this power point.   Don't worry!  You are only responsible for knowing about protons, neutrons and electrons.  (and that quarks and leptons are out there too).  Next we continued to review for the matter test:  page 273 #10-14.   When you are done all this check out these fun atomic games:
