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!

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.

Monday, November 8, 2010

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

Physics 30 Questions

Hi Girls,
A special "hi" to Katie and Rikkeal - hope you're enjoying your time away from us!  If you do happen to have a yearning to do physics homework (ha ha ha) I am linking the questions Mr. C assigned through Google docs.  They are in the textbook, but I am assuming you didn't pack your physics textbooks.  He insists he hasn't given any notes, which are what I really wanted to start posting for you but one step at a time, right?  Questions are to be handed in Friday for the rest of the class.  Remember he's going to be in the library for the extra help "club" on Thursday from after school until around 4:30!  Or until the last problem is solved...
Okay, here's the  Physics Homework
Can't resist the lol cats as ridiculous as they are...

Homework Club

For anyone who is interested in extra help with biology, chemistry, or physics, Mr. C will be hosting a homework help group in the library from 3:20ish to 4:30 on Thursday, October 21. Thursdays will not necessarily be the permanent day for the group, just for next week due to Variety Night on Tuesday. There may or may not be snacks. Let us know what you think of this idea, girls - you know that if nobody shows up he won't keep doing it! Either leave comments or tell Mr. or Mrs. C what day would work best or if you like the idea at all.
And here's a little something that maybe only Mr. C will find amusing:

See you next week!

Biology 20 Ecosystem Assignment Clarification

Hi girls, Mrs. C guest posting here. After listening to your anxiety during study periods and after school in the library, I have tried to pin Mr. C down on exactly what his expectations are for this assignment. He has referred me back to the rubric he posted previously and when I pushed him further for a word count said, and I quote, "In my opinion, to sufficiently cover the topic, you would require approximate 2-3000 words. That is depending on your skill as a writer." And I am assuming he means 2000, not actually 2. This is only if you are writing an essay, of course. If you're doing some other kind of project you're not worrying about a word count. Hope this helps.
Here's the original rubric again:

Rubric:
1) Have all deadlines been met. /5
2) Is there evidence of research from a multiple of sources. /5
3) Accurate description of the location. /5
4) Complete description of climate/ /5
5) Proper listing and classification of Flora and Fauna /20
6) Clear explanations of adaptations found in organisms in the ecosystem. /20
7) Current issues affecting the ecosystem. /10
8) Overall organization and attention to detail. /10

Monday, September 27, 2010

Next Chemistry Class Will Be A Sing-Along

Here is a video so you can practice and be prepared before your next class:

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

Physics 30: Today a hand in assignment was given: 19, 23, 24, and 27 pages 84,85

Biology 30: The due date for the molecule project is Oct 1

Science 9: Two genetics problems were given as a hand-in. Be sure to see me if you need a copy.

Sunday, September 19, 2010

So here are this weeks plans. I like to let everyone know what is coming up so if you are going to be gone you can get a head start.


Bio 20: We will set out the due date for the Eco project next class. please be sure to consult the earlier listing as to how the project will be evaluated. You should have all of your reseach by now and be well under way in putting it all together. For those of you doing an essay you may want to consider handing it in on your USB so all I have to do is copy it to my desk top. This saves paper and you can't blame your printer.

Bio 30: This week we will be doing the Facebook posting project. Use you class time well as the due date will be early next week.

Sci 9: Lessons continue on out genetics unit. There may be a pop quiz on mono hybrid crosses using dominance or codominance in your future. We will be learning about the differences between sexual and asexual reproduction as well as the topics of Mitosis and meiosis. There will be quite a few journal entries to make so be sure to keep on top of things

Chemistry 20: The main focus of this week is learning how to read and write chemical formulas using oxidation numbers. On top of that we will be introducing the concept of the Mole. Make sure you have batteries in your pencil and your calculators sharpened.

Accounting 10: There will be an exam on chapter two at the end of the week. We will be beginning chapter 3 next class so be sure to start reading.

Physics 30: We will be doing problems involving the analytical method and non uniform motion. There will be a hand in assignment coming this week after we have practiced with a few problems. A test will soon follow. Be sure to ask questions in class. Do not be shy as if you are confused the odds are the others are as well.


This is for every one: If you are having troubles ASK FOR HELP !!!!! My mind reading abilities have dulled considerably as I've gotten older. Don't sit in silence and do nothing and hope it goes away. Ostriches bury their head in the sand and hope the lions run away. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that does not work. Just come get me at noon or in the morning for help.
If I look grumpy I probably am but don't let that stop you.

Have a great week.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school everyone. Coincidentally, bowhunting season opens this week, so I am in a great mood and you will notice I have not given homework to any of my classes! I have to comment on the eerily quiet bio class yesterday - what was up with that? Not that we want total mayhem but you can all relax a little bit - hearing the clock ticking is a little creepy.
Anyway, please remember to faithfully check the blog to stay current on assignments and test dates - that is YOUR responsibility. You are in charge of your own success.
However, never be afraid to approach me for help or to ask for clarification during class if you're having trouble understanding a concept. I am here to help you.
Now, for our "Walk in the Word" moment let's try Proverbs 16:21
"The wise man is known by his common sense, and a pleasant teacher is the best."
So you all demonstrate your common sense by keeping up with your work and coming to me with your problems EARLY, and I will be a pleasant teacher (as always:))

Finals are Finally Here !

Well that time is here again. Here is some advice for each of my classes:

Science 9: Do not forget to have your cheat sheet ready by this Friday. Also, make sure your calculators are sharp and your
pencils have fresh batteries. The exam will be on our Electricity unit and will offer a variety of questions.



Science 10: The big topics are Ecology, Physics, and Chemistry. You will be required to answer questions very similar to all of
the questions we have dealt with in class. Do not to forget to review the Chem and Ecology units as well as
physics. You too will need to have your cheat sheets ready for Friday.


Biology 20: This exam will survey all the vocabulary we have gone through. There will be an essay question on this exam so
be sure to take your time and do a good job on this as this is a major part of the final.


Biology 30: The big area of focus is on systems. There is a lot of information you will need to remember so don't take things
for granted. Remember that your final can have a significant impact on your final grade and now is not the time to
coast.


Chemistry 30: This will be a very comprehensive exam. The cheat sheets will be due by this Friday. What I said for Bi 30
applies here as well



A note for everyone. This week is the last week you have an opportunity to ask questions and have things explained. If you have been studying you will have questions. Be sure to ask questions. The only way to eliminate confusion and to do your best on the finals is to make the effort to study and get help. Doing nothing and expecting magic space dust to fall on your head and give you universal knowledge is not a good plan.

Biology 20 is on Facebook !!!!!




Everyone in Biology 20 needs to go to Facebook and put in a request to join " Mr. C's Cyber Science " group. This is a closed group so you need to be very special to join. Don't worry I won't be able to see your Facebook page and find out the last time you cheated in math class. LOL. We will be able to share ideas and help each other out. This will also be a way for me to check your progress and assess the quality of your work. Yes this will be for marks
