Biology 12

Today we continued with the nerve impulse by looking at what happens when the nerve impulse gets to the end of one axon.......it has to be communicated to the next neuron by means of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft.    Homework:  Module questions D. 

Chemistry 11

We continued with organic chemistry and naming alkanes (compounds with C and H). 

Homework:  pg. 219 Ex: 3,  pg. 220 Ex: 5, 6   pg. 221 Ex: 8 (a-e)

Chemistry 11

Today we started our last unit!!    Organic Chemistry.   We took notes on writing formulas and naming hydrocarbon molecules with only single bonds (alkanes).  Make sure you get these notes if you were away.

Biology 12

Today we learned about the action potential.  This is what sends a nerve impulse down a neuron.  We watched the crash course video, took notes from a power point and answered a few review questions.  If you missed it:  Go to the link here and download notes and question.    http://msjclassbio12.blogspot.ca/p/nervous-system.html

Biology 12

Today we wrote the Respiratory/Excretory Unit Test.   Next we looked at the anatomy of a neuron and made some neuron models on our desks with modelling clay.  

Chemistry 11

During the double block we finished off lab 16B and measured absorbance and % transmittance of our solutions.   The lab is due on Friday with Questions and Calculations # 1-4.  pg. 170

Next we wrote our solutions unit test.  Challenging multiple choice for sure!

Biology 12

Today we took some short notes on how the kidneys regulate the pH of the blood.   We did the blue worksheet on Urinary system reflection questions.   These are due tomorrow.
