Week of April 24th

Monday: Socials with Mr. Sacht-Lund

Tuesday: Socials ... here is the link to Mr. Sacht-Lund's blog (https://mrspencersacht.wordpress.com/igs-9-socials/).  Please bookmark this page so you know where to go in the future.

Wednesday:  Introduction to Compound notes (fill in notes in the package that was handed out).

Non-negotiable homework:  Watch Vodcast below: Binary Ionic Compounds and complete notes in package as you watch.  

Thursday: Well done today!  So proud of how hard you all worked!  Today:  Check-in and practise naming and writing binary ionic compounds.  When finished, watch and complete notes in the package using the vodcast below (if not done in class, homework.

Non-negotiable homework WHICH MOST OF YOU FINISHED IN CLASS:  Watch Vodcast below: Multivalent Metals and complete notes in the package as you watch.

 

For those of you who are keen .... you can practise more of all of this by completing anything in your Chemistry 9 Workbook up to and including pg 47.

Week of Apr 18th

NOTE: Answer key to "Chemistry 9 Workbook" package handed out is found under reivew tab above

Tuesday - Well, we had to detour from my Science plan so that we could chat with Neuf about his next adventure and enjoy the moments of what may be his last time in our classroom.  #onelove #bcgreens #voteneuf :)
- you all managed to figure out how to calculate subatomic particles within atoms and ions by completing your workbook p. 34.  You will be seeing this all again tomorrow but I was impressed by you all today.

Wednesday - BANG!  Notes: Bohr Models (continue from last week's notes found here), Activity: Mystery Elements using Bohr Models.  Quiz on Friday (review package handed out in class yesterday ... key found in above review tab)

Homework: In your notes package, draw the Bohr models for atoms with atomic numbers 1-20 and answer the 6 questions related to this (in your notes package)

Thursday: Check-in on Bohr Models, Notes: Ion formation & practise, review for quiz.  Quiz tomorrow (answer key for review sheet handed out in class is found under above review tab)

Friday: Quiz on what we have done in Chemistry thus far.
     Quiz: (7 multiple choice, 6 matching, 8 short response which are similar to the review that was handed out in class)

Week of Apr 10th

 Monday - Elements quiz, WS: Periodic Table review (due Wednesday), Socials
Please complete this survey in regards to your project.

Tuesday - Elements quiz, Socials

If any student or group of students are interested in representing youth/IGS (many different roles involved and a great way to meet science and political leaders) in the “march for science” in Centennial Square on April 22 (EARTH DAY!!!) to coincide with a similar march in Washington DC and other cities around the world. The idea is to highlight academic freedom and the importance of scientific research and its subsequent communication, so that it can play a role in policy decisions.  Here is a link with more info: https://www.marchforscience.com/ and you can search for us on  Facebook “March for Science Victoria”.  Please contact UVic's Terrie Finston at Phone: 250-721-7145

Wednesday - hand-in Periodic Table review Worksheet, Elements Quiz, Notes: Atoms vs Ions (calculations & practise),

Thursday - Socials

Prediction: Chemistry quiz on what we have discussed so far on Thursday, Apr 20th

Week of Apr 3rd

Monday - spring break report out, field trip discussion, started Element & Periodic Table notes

Tuesday - Split day: Science Peeps are practicing writing the symbols and names of commonly used elements, completing Hydrogen Burning Lab (pop!)

Homework for ALL - Safety and WHMIS quiz (take home)...complete for tomorrow. 

Wednesday - notes continued (see link from Monday) and practice in workbook (handed out today).  Please complete this survey so that Mr. Neufeld and myself know where you are all at with your project.

Thursday - notes continued (see link from Monday) and labeling the periodic table patterns

Friday -  WEAR RED - go Spartans!!!  Split day: See Tuesday

           Quiz almost every day on commonly used Element's names and symbols.
