Science 10

 Today we finished off our notes from Friday using the power point started on Friday.  Next we extracted DNA from a strawberry using THIS lab and the video below:

Science 10

Today we practiced some radioactivity questions in preparation for the QUIZ tomorrow.  Next we finished off the Biology notes from yesterday on DNA- RNA.   Finally we built some mutant (and normal) bees based on their DNA structure.  

Science 10

 Today we finished off Radioactivity by working on this review.  Next we started our BIOLOGY unit by starting on this power point with these notes.   Next we built our own DNA model using crafty items...............

Science 10

Today we looked at Half-life of radioactive elements.  We took notes on this found HERE.   Next we practiced these with the following worksheet and watched a video on Carbon dating.  

Next we took some notes on Fission and Fusion found HERE.  Finally we watched some videos on nuclear energy.

 

Science 10

Today we wrote our energy test.  Next we took notes on Alpha, Beta and Gamma decay found HERE.  Next we did some practice problems on this and then watched a video on the most radioactive places on earth.  

Science 10

Today we started a short unit on radioactivity.  This is included in the Energy Unit, but won't be on the test.   We went through a power point and then did a lab with "cornium" atoms in order to determine the half life of this material.  Finally we watched a short video on radioactivity.  

Science 10

Today we turned in our Physics Unit Review.  Next we did a short lesson on Climate Change found HERE.  We also watched 3 videos on climate change and wrote out three things we knew, three things we learned and 2 questions we have based on this.  

Online energy quiz found HERE.
