Merchants of Doubt video notes, due today, by the end of class please, but Monday’s okay too (some of us need that extra time to reflect).

Read pages 15 and 16 in the workbook, Topic 1.2 “How is hereditary information passed from one generation to the next”. If you have nothing else to do, you can view the Punnett Square videos, “how to” in moodle (keywords are Sommerfeld and moodle, then use password plaid if they ask).

Curious about the image above? Google it and educate yourself!

Science 10 

Big Exam Tomorrow! Chapters 4, 5, and 6 (bring your data booklet) Hand in your Green Textbook!

Science 8

We used ray boxes today to construct a ray diagram (due Tuesday April 19th) of a plane mirror, reflecting light and measuring angles and becoming more familiar with a protractor.

The video on how to do this (above), is also found on moodle (s-moodle sommerfeld or go to TEAMS to see the 7 min video), or google “how to draw a ray diagram plane mirror”.

No other homework.

Science 10

See moodle (link in teams) to watch the video demonstrations for Find Out Activity 6-2A (due Tues April 19th).

Chemistry Exam: Wed April 20th, bring your data booklet (and hand in your green textbook!!).

Thursday, we start a unit on Genetics.

Science 8

We wrestled with Chapter 5.1, light acting like a particle and studied via reflection and refraction. The law of reflection states i = r or better said, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. And for refraction, just as in the Bill Nye video, light passes from air into more dense water and bends (refracts).

Please remember to bring a protractor.

No homework, except to keep in mind, Big Exam, May 10 (chapters 1-6).

Cheat Sheet: one side of one page, 8 1/2 x 11″ (normal photocopy paper size, one side only!). Go through the review sheet and all the stuff that’s tough to memorize or you think would be helpful (including diagrams) goes on there!

Science 10

Lab 6-2A due Tomorrow Thursday April 14th.

Chem Exam Wed April 20 (all of chapters 4, 5, and 6).

Science 8

KWL for the 3 videos above, along with Chapter 4.3 to “get” what Electromagnetic Radiation is!

Tomorrow and Thursday we begin to tackle relection and refraction, doing the activities on pages 176 and 177…

Science 10

We did a simple single substitution found in Find Out Activity 6-1A, page 257. The sheet with all the What Did You Find Out answers are due Wed April 13th.

Reminder, metals replace metals, non-metals replace non-metals. The practice problems (p 259 and on) will be super helpful in practicing the six reactions types. Can you identify the reaction by looking at it? Remember, answers to these questions are in the back of the green textbook, page 592 and on.
