Science Joke of the Day (Yes there actually are science jokes!)

Two molecules are walking down the street and they run in to each other.
One says to the other, "Are you all right?" "No, I lost an electron!" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!

Sci 10: The equations assignment is due next class
Sci 9: Journals are due before the holiday
Bio 20: Invertebrate exam next week
Chem 30: Heat energy exam to study for

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

Chem 30: We have an exam on the "Energy in Reactions" unit next Tuesday.
Biology 20: Don't forget next week's exam.
Sci 9: Your projects on "Energy in Sask." will be due before the Easter break. (And remember there's no school next Thursday!)


A big reminder to anyone with outstanding assignments: Be sure to have them in before the Easter break if you wish to have any consideration towards your mark.

New Biology Lesson

Biology 30: Senses quiz on Friday
Biology 20: Invertebrate test next Tuesday. Also, the invertebrate review assignment is now past due.
Physics 20: Sound exam this Thursday

Another very useful link!

In addition to the periodic table at the bottom of the page, I've added a link to another really interesting one. This one is color coded in several ways: it tells you whether an element is solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature, and then for each one gives a list of how the element is used as an element, an alloy, and a compound. For instance, if you click on zinc you will see that in black text, indicating as an element, it is used as a corrosion-resistant coating. Then in red text, indicating as an alloy, it is used in car parts and in brass. Finally, in blue text, indicating as a compound, it is used in cosmetics and as a white pigment in rubber. There is a key to explain the use of the table and a ton of interesting information.

New link to check out

For those of you wondering what you will ever do with your knowledge of physics after you leave high school, here is a new link for you. At "Sound Science with Sarah Tulga" you can learn from a fellow student how to use the physics of sound to construct your own musical instruments. Imagine how thrilled Miss Campbell will be when you are able to accompany the band on your homemade didgeridoo or glockenspiel! I'm just saying...

Physics 20: The review sheets were given out today. There will be one more class to work on them then they will be due.


Biology 30: One more class to work on the sensory system project

Chem 30: Exam on the Solutions unit next week.


For anyone behind in their assignments I suggest you get them in. This long weekend is a great time to catch up. Remember that grades are based on completed work. Failing to hand in assignments will not help in any way.

Especially for Science 9

Q: What is the name of the first electricity detective?

A: Sherlock Ohms.
Biology 30: We are working on our sensory projects.

Chemistry 30: Today we will begin our Energy in Chemistry unit. Remember that next week we will have our exam on Unit II

Physics 20: The review project will be completed today and the assignment will be given
next class. Be sure to get a copy of the information sheets as well as the
assignment.

Sci 10: today note were given on " How compounds form "

Sci 9: We are taking notes on parallel and series circuits. Also' Ohm's law was
introduced.
