This week:

Bio 20: We will be beginning a project on plants ( This is the pamphlet assignmnet )
Bio 30: Topics will be chromosomes and linkage
Physics 30: More work on circuit diagrams as well as dealing with power in circuits
Sci 9: Writing formulas is on the agenda as well as looking at chemical and physical changes
Accounting 10:  Chapter 7
Chem 20: How to use lab equipment properly and setting up for our first experiment.

Keep your ears open for the next homework club announcement.

How to pass chemistry!

Well, you still have to study but... this university professor has written some really good tips for succeeding with chemistry.  From reading it, I think it applies to grade 11 and 12 too!  Here's the link:

Hope it helps!

Science Homework Club

Hi Girls!
Despite the junior basketball starting up, we are going to squeeze in a Science Homework Club as requested this week.  Don't let me down, now -  some of you better show up!  Unless you hear otherwise we will go ahead Thursday at 3:30 in the library.  See you there!

Hello everyone. In the upcoming days there will be a few important tests and due dates.

Biology 30: We have begun our Genetics unit. The exam on the Cells unit is rapidly approaching. It will be on December 1st period I. Do not  and I mean do not wait to the last minute to study. This is a very thorough exam on the entire cell unit.

Physics 30: Our Energy exam is this upcoming Tuesday

Biology 20: Be sure to have your Fun fungal fact smart board presentation ready to go when it is your classes turn

Chemistry 20: If you have not handed in your Gases review sheet it is now overdue.

Science 9: Keep those journals up to date. We are studying the modern atomic theory right now so be sure to let me know if you need the notes.


Study club is still going on. Be sure to listen to the announcements as to the dates and times. Basketball is starting now so the day may vary week to week.

Homework Club

Hi Girls!
Homework Club will be on WEDNESDAY this week, as some of you have requested.  Once again it will begin around 3:30 and keep going for as long as you need help.  Snacks may or may not be provided, depending on how my week goes:)

To Stranded Lizzie...

Hi Lizzie! Mrs. C here.
More Physics homework for you...sorry.
Here's the link to the latest homework.  I'm scanning the physics from the library -  haven't had the lesson on the fancy photocopier technique yet from Mr. J., thus the two separate links:

Lizzie's Physics Homework Page 1

Lizzie's Physics Homework Page 2
Looking forward to seeing you home safe and sound!

Hello To Sunny Florida!

As promised, I am posting notes for our sunbathing physics student!  So if you are actually checking the blog (though your friends tell me you have not been on the internet lately!) here are the notes from November 5th on "Conservation of Energy."  I scanned them and then uploaded as a jpeg file, so you will have to scan over with the zoom as you look at them.  Thanks to Morgan for letting us copy her notes!  I hope you're wearing sunscreen :)  And conserving your energy (ha ha, little physics humour there.)
Page 1 Conservation of Energy
Page 2 Conservation of Energy
There are two separate links because I uploaded the two pages individually - that's just the way it is. 
Have a great weekend!

Couldn't resist - all the elastic collision problems in your notes.  There is no collision more elastic than a cat collision.

This is a very short week so hopefully we'll be able to get a few things done

Science 9: We will be having a lesson on the history of the modern atomic theory. There will be a Smart board presentation along with some notes and also we will be working on our note taking skill.

Biology 20: Out next Kingdom is the Fungi. An introductory video will be followed by a smart board lesson and a few notes. During this unit we will be doing an internet project where you will be using the smart board to tell us some Fun Fungal Facts

Biology 30: We have just finished our section on cellular respiration. This marks the end of out Cells unit. After a review assignment for respiration we will be tidying things up and getting ready for the exam. Please note this is a very thorough exam on the unit and you should not leave your review to the last moment.

Accounting 10: The chapter 5 exam is tomorrow

Physics 30: This week we will be finishing collisions and introducing the concepts of Work, Energy, and Power if time permits. Since we only have one class this week I doubt we'll get started on that but one can always hope. Just a note the rest of the course will be going quickly and we still have a couple of large units to accomplish so now is not the time to relax. Remember you will be writing the departmental in January

Science Homework Club

For all of you super-cool students who want to hang out in the library and get some help with your science homework (or just understanding what you're doing in class) Mr. C will be available for Science Homework Club again this week on Thursday from right after school until whenever it takes to clear up all of the questions you have.  By the tone of the previous post I'm thinking some of you should be coming to hang out and finish up some projects!  Or just to say...

Let's get that homework done, girls!  Don't be afraid to ask for help - at lunch, after school, whenever you need it.  We're all in this together :)
