Workbook 4.2, Find Out Activity “Watching Waves” p. 134, and Lab 4.4 p. 140.
Block 2.1 and 2.2 due Tues Dec 19th
Block 1.2 due Mon Dec 18th
Reminder: the Find Out Activity, we basically answered in class, be prepared to show your understanding, there’s nothing to physically hand in.
Lab 4.4 Hand in a sheet of paper or two, with your drawings from Procedure, p. 141 and the Analyze and Conclude & Apply questions, also p. 141.
Each student must hand in their own diagrams and answers to the lab.
To hand in last class before Winter Break:
A research paper on Enzyme disorders.
Use the template (here on a previous blog) and research EITHER Tay-Sachs disease or PKU (Phenylketonuria).
If you have already done PKU please choose Tay-Sachs.
Block 2.4 will be in Room 303 on Wed Dec 13th
Block 1.1 will be in the library hopefully Mon Dec 18th (confirmed; meet in 307 for attendance/silent reading then we’ll travel together)

Test on chapter 6 Wed Dec 20th (practice! Might I recommend the practise problems in your textbook, sprinkled throughout your chapter 6, very tasty as the answers are located very near to the back of your textbook).
See me after school Tuesdays for additional help but DONT FORGET about Math/Science tutor club, tues thurs (free) in the learning commons after 3pm and the Wed lunch help session in room 211.

Salts and Metal and Non-Metal Oxides
(b) H2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 → MgSO4 + H2O; magnesium sulphate
(c) 2H3PO4 + 3Sr(OH)2 → Sr3(PO4)2 + 6H2O; strontium phosphate

Notice for #19 it doesn’t matter what order you put the water and the salt (and it doesn’t matter if the Acid is written first or second):
(b) 3H2SO4 + 2Al(OH)3 → Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O
(c) Neutralization
For block 1.3 students, please remember terminology around “What anion is in the acid sulfuric acid” (they really just want to know which negative ion is attached to the hydrogen ions) so the answer is sulfate.
List 5 transgenic organisms
Research one from the list
Include, who, what, where, when, and why you chose your organism
Include diagrams, illustrations, though citations are not needed
