Many of you may know that Mr. C grew up in Trail, B.C. and was on his high school ski team. Believe it or NOT we have unearthed a long-lost video of his glory days (Make sure you enlarge it to full screen for the best viewing experience):
Ha ha - I'm sure he wasn't quite so daring in his youth! That guy is pretty amazing! It does give you a glimpse of the town where Mr. C. lived, though and that is part of the way he walked to school. For a longer teaser and info about the DVD go to kicker films.
On to schoolwork:
Don't forget that December 21 is the deadline to make up any missed indicators. If you're not sure whether this applies to you, don't hesitate to come see me (Mr. C, not Mrs.)
Pig dissection is coming up in Grade 12 biology, so byo gloves if you feel you will want to wear protection!

For those of you studying for the physics test
Here are some practice questions to help. Bring your results to me tomorrow at noon to see how you've done.
1) Floyd is in a really cool race car and is travelling at 28 m/s. How far will he travel in .75
days ?
2) A boat load of Rivier girls are in a boat travelling at 12 m/s when one of them throws out
the anchor. The drag of the anchor causes the boat to slow to 5.0 m/s in 15 seconds. How far
did the travel during that time span ?
3) A child is at the top of a hill. He begins to roll down the hill and accelerates at 1.7 m/s2.
There is a car parked 150 m at the bottom of the hill. If the car stays there for 12 seconds
will the boy crash into the car ?
4) Two people are having a foot race. Person A starts the race with a running start running
6.0 m/s. Runner B gets a 100.00 M head start and begins running from rest accelerating at
.60 m/s2. If the race is 950 M in length who wins the race and by what distance ?

A new year has started
Welcome back everyone. This year I will be adding a series of links that will summarize our science classes. You may use these sites to keep up on your studies, catch up if you have missed classes or provide extra review.
So far:
Physics 30: Be sure you know your sig figs. Also, we have begun creating graphs representing different forms of
motion.
Biology 30: You will be receiving instructions on an assignment regarding our introductory Biochem unit.
Chem 20: We are well underway on our lesson on the Modern Atomic Theory.
Science 10: We have begun our Ecology Unit.

Hello everyone. It is time to gear up for the final stretch,
Sci 9:
The Electricity Unit is complete and we have an exam coming up. Be sure to use your formative evaluation sheet to help you in your studies. If you don't have it be sure to pick it up. The exam will be a lot like that assignment.
Last class I gave you some questions to research on the internet about Saskatchewan powder production. Make sure they are done for next class.
Science 10:
This week we will be working on a major assignment for our physics unit. It will be handed out on Monday
Biology 20:
You are back from Europe now so it is time to get back to work. The presentations will go on this week. We will get ourselves organised on the first class and then get everything set.
Physics 20:
We'll be looking at solving problems with lenses using equations. Also, the optics unit is almost done so be prepared for an exam on lenses next week.
Chem 30:
The Acid/Base review assignent is due this Monday. We will set an exam date during that class. The next unit is Electrochemistry so brush up on oxidation numbers.
Biology 30:
Presentations on the endocrine system is next class so be ready. We've got a couple more systems to cover and then . PIG DISSECTION !!!!!!!
Note to all: DO NOT COAST TO JUNE !!!! NOW IS THE TIME TO STUDY LIKE YOU"VE NEVER STUDIED BEFORE.

Friday Fun
In a vaguely biology-related way, but mostly just promoting the awesomeness of cats, I thought I would post this little video of a cat either communicating with (or possibly smelling the fish-breath of) some dolphins:
Have a great weekend!

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day With Homework Club!
Homework Club is on today in the library after school. Grab your books and bring all of your problems/questions (science, not personal, please) and we will work through them together.

Hello, everyone.
One thing you may have noticed is a couple of links showing up at the side of the blog. One is for Chem 30 and the other for Sci 9. These are some great resources for you to use. They will provide you with notes and practice on the topics we are studying . If you miss a class or might want to do some review you will find them very valuable.
This next week:
Science 9: Electricity is on the menu. We will be looking at parallel and series circuits as well as OHM's
Law. Be sure to keep that journal up to date as a lot of new terms have come your way.
Biology 20: Make sure your Arthropod presentations are ready to go next class. After this we'll have
two dissections. The Grasshopper and the Crayfish are waiting. Last call for the Worm
dissections !!!!!
Biology 30: Notes on the brain and the nervous system on the way. After this we will be having an
exam on the Skeletal/Muscular system and the Nervous system.
Physics 20: Test on sound on Wednesday. Be sure to study. The next topic will be our unit on light.
Chem 30: The sheets on free energy are due next class. Our Energy in reactions unit is now complete
so you know an exam is around the corner
Stay tuned for more useful links that you can access. As I find them I'll post them at the side. They are in Blue lettering.

Website Information For You
Hi Girls, here's Mr. C getting a tutorial on embedding a link while giving you the info on the website you used in chemistry class today. The link for the Chem 30 course is Chemistry 30. Within this link, we covered 3.1 today. Have a great weekend from Mr. and Mrs. C!

Science 9: This week we are well under way with our electricity unit. Some key terms you'll need in your
journals are:
Charging by induction and contact
Charge
Electricity
I=Q/t
Don't forget 9-3 you have an exam coming up
Biology 20: This week is get that worm dissection lab finished week. They are due by friday and be sure
to read carefully so your diagramming is complete
Biology 30: We've finished our notes on the Skeletal and muscular sysytems. We will be looking at the
circulatory system next. Make sure you keep current with the vocabulary.
Physics 20: The next chapter will be on interference with sound waves. Bring your calculators to class
you will need them.
Science 10: We have covered the basic structure of the atom and are looking at chemical bonds and
molecules. Don't fall behind as this week we will be working on skills like naming compounds
and writing formulas.
Make sure if you miss a lesson to bring any missed notes to me to be photo copied. If you are having troubles homework club will be starting next week. It is looking like Thursday after school will be the day.

Finally Basketball season is over and I have time to get back to the Blog.
Biology 30: We have begun our unit of mammalian systems. Today was an interesting class on bones and
their function. Be sure to learn the names of the bones. Also, your papers and genetics projects
are due this week.
Physics 20: The test on the Waves chapter is this week
Biology 20: Today we took notes on Platyhelminthes and on Nematoda. Your first dissection is this week
so come prepared to work on that earthworm.
Sci 9: Be sure to study for your Chem unit exam. 9(4) you are writing it this week and 9(3) your turn is
after the Feb break
Sci 10: Ecology test tomorrow. After that more lessons on the structure of the atom. We have covered the
nucleus and the electron cloud is next.
Look for homework club to resume after the Feb break.

Homework Club is On!
Science Homework Club is a go for today (Tuesday) and Wednesday at 3:30. Everyone who needs help/clarification or just to vent about their problems with anything Mr. C teaches is welcome. (Although Mrs. C will probably be providing the sympathetic ear.) Any changes to this plan will be in the announcements!

Do we need Homework Club?
Is anyone interested in having Science Homework Club before Midterms? If you are, please talk to Mr. C or me before next week. I think Monday or Tuesday after school would be available - other than that you know you can always approach him at noon hour!
