Anatomy and Physiology 12

Today we finished off the notes on the NERVOUS SYSTEM.  Power point is HERE and notesheet HERE.  Careful!!  Not all notes are important.  You are responsible for understanding the major parts of the brain, the divisions of the nervous system and the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.  Next we worked on the NERVE impulse drawing.  That is found HERE.   

Science 8

Today we finished off our notes on PLATE TECTONICS.  Power point is found HERE and note sheet HERE.  Next we did a lesson with ROCKS and looked at different types of rocks.  See the videos below for the rock cycle and how to identify rocks.   Finally we did a lab on the age of Hawaiian islands being used to determine how quickly the plates are moving.   

  

Science 8

 Today we talked about plate tectonics.  Power point is found HERE and note sheet is HERE.  We did an assignment found HERE with THIS world map.  (page 5 and 6)

Anatomy and Physiology 12

Today we finished off a little section of notes on synaptic transmission and neurotransmitters. (See yesterday's notes and power point)  Next we started our LAST assignment on nerve impulse- Action Potential and Synaptic Transmission.  This assignment is found HERE.    Make sure you do this on extra large paper.   

The two videos below are super helpful in figuring out the tricky details of nerve impulses.   A reminder that there is a pesky old exam coming up!  Jan. 21 or Jan 22.   

The MC review assignment is found HERE and the key HERE

The written assignment is found HERE and the key for that is HERE.  

Anatomy and Physiology 12

Today we took notes on synapses.  The notes are in THIS power point with THIS notesheet.  Next we did the reaction rate lab found HERE.  

  This lab is due at the end of class or next day.  

Science 8

 Today we did a lab by BURNING compounds to see what colour of light they produced.  See the videos below for an explanation of how fireworks are made.

Next we continued work on the pangea worksheet.  This assignment is found HERE.  

Turn this in by the end of class.  Next we finished off the notes on continental drift.  The power point is HERE and the notesheet HERE.  

Viedo below describes the continental drift theory:

Science 8

 Today we reviewed the new subatomic particles: Quarks and leptons.  The notes we took yesterday are found in THIS power point.  

Next we started some notes on Earth's Layers.  Power point is HERE and notesheet HERE.

Finally we started a project on PANGEA.  This is found HERE.
