Finish your paragraph on hydroelectricity, using the terms (river, dam, reservoir, potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy), if you did not hand it in in class.

Research your poster topic and be able to work on the poster next class. Be sure you can answer the following questions:

1. What form of energy is converted in this process? List all energy converstions.
   1. eg. for a dam on a river (hydroelectricity), the water stored in the reservoir behind the dam has gravitational potential energy. when the water is allowed to pass through the tubes in the dam (kinetic energy), it causes the blades of the turbine to rotate (mechanical energy) which is converted by the generator into electrical energy.
2. How is that energy converted (go through all the steps)?
   1. Eg. hydroelectricity: Water is lifted to a height by the water cycle (precipitation). water at a height has electrical potential energy. the water is allowed to flow downhill and is passed over a fan-shaped turbine, causing it to turn. The turbine is connected to a generator, and as the turbine turns, the generator shaft rotates. This rotation causes electrical energy to be produced by the generator.
3. Draw a labelled diagram to show how the process works.

Please complete workbook p. 106 – 115 and 126 – 129.

Chapter 7 test is rescheduled and will take place on Thursday, 21 February 2019.

Finish the static electricity handout questions and bring to class.

Complete the chapter 7 review questions assigned last class, as . well as the workbook questions assigned last class.

Chapter 7 text will be on Wednesday, 13 February 2019.

Please finish pages 122-125 in workbook (p. 116 -121 were assigned previously).

Do chapter 7 review questions 1-5 (make your own summary) and questions 1-12 on page 266 in textbook.

Read p. 268 – 279 in textbook (section 8.1).

Mid year exam: 5 February . The exam will cover scientific method, safety, the cell, reproduction. STATIC ELECTRICITY WILL NOT BE ON THE TEST.

You are allowed one optional notes page, 8.5″X11″ letter-sized piece of paper, one-sided notes to bring to the exam.  It must be hand-written by you (not photocopied, printed, or copied from someone else).

For next class, please complete p. 116-121 in the workbook.

Work on Activity 6-2C on p. 221. Complete and hand in.

Finish workbook pages 31-40 for next class. Finish the karyotype activity if you haven’t done so already.

Test on sexual reproduction will be on 19 Dec. Study workbook, text, notes.

Finish the questions on the back of the sexual reproduction and meiosis notes that we completed today, and be sure you have read section 6-2 in the text.

Test on sexual reproduction and meiosis  will be on 19 Dec 2018.

Complete the pages 28 – 30 in the workbook (assigned on 7 Dec using handout was provided in class on 7 Dec) as well as pages 31 – 40 in workbook (due 17 Dec 2018).
