Please look up the following:
crystal lattice arrangement, metallic bond, electronegativity, reactive (what does it mean?), caesium/rubidium clocks (how do they work?)

Science 9 2-1 and 2-2 13 Oct 2016
Read 5.1 in text and complete 5.1 in workbook. Be sure you have finished the handout on mitosis and that you are familiar with the stages of the cell cycle and the stages of mitosis.
Biology 11 2-3 13 Oct 2016
Look up and be sure you understand the terms: evolution, natural selection, fitness (as it relates to evolution) and adaptation. Finish all 3 articles on viruses and be prepared to discuss their contents. Be sure that you have understood the chapter on viruses and bacteria (17).
Mini Science 10 13 October 2016
Look up the octet rule and how it relates to ionic and covalent compounds. Be sure you are comfortable naming ionic (including polyatomic ions and multivalent metals) and covalent compounds. Finish the practice questions assigned in class. Complete the periodic table family/group presentation and be ready to present next class (Monday). Please share the presentation with me by Sunday night. Thank you.
Mini Science 10 11 Oct 2016
Work on the periodic table family/group as assigned in class. Prepare a presentation (google slides or powerpoint – maximum 5 slides) introducing the group/family, and describing the properties, trends, and other characteristics of the group. Be sure you have read 4.1 and 4.2 in the text.
Biology 2-3 11 Oct 2016
Work on the “Between the living and the dead” virus questions, as assigned in class (use the same number questions as your presentation (1-8), and also do questions 9 and 10). Be prepared to share with your group when you arrive in class, and then with the whole class (jigsaw activity). Please return the case study handout next class, so that I can re-use them. Thank you. Be sure you have read 17-1 (viruses) and 17-2 (bacteria) in the text.
Science 9 2-1 and 2-2 11 October 2016
Be sure you have finished 4.1 and 4.2 in workbook and that you read 5.1 in textbook. Research the questions: “Is there an advantage to sexual reproduction (and the process of meiosis)? If so, what is it? You don’t need to hand in the research but you should jot some notes down so that you can discuss it in class.
Mini Science 10 2-4 6 Oct 2016
Be sure you have read 4.1 and 4.2 in text, and that you have completed the chemical naming/formula practice questions.
Science 9 all
Be sure you can define (in your own words) the following terms:
- double helix
- anti-parallel
- base pair
- complimentary strand
Also, briefly define mitosis and meiosis in your own words.
Science 9 1-4 7 Oct 2016
Consider/think about the ideas we have been discussing in class, including DNA structure and function, and the advantages of sexual and asexual reproduction. We will discuss these further in class.
