Tuesday September 20
Today we prepared for our chromatography lab that we will perform tomorrow. Students need to finish the hypothesis and variables section. In math we worked on dividing integers using chips as well as more concrete rules. Students need to finish Pg. 305 #9,13 and 14 and Pg 310 9-12, 15 & 18. There will be a quiz on multiplying and dividing integers on Monday September 26.
Monday September 19
Today we discussed our first lab and the fine details of information that should be included in a lab report. The concept of chromatography was introduced.
In math, we learned how to divide integers with tiles. Today's assignment was Pg 304 #4,6 and 9. This should be completed for homework if not finished in class.
Thursday September 15
Today students completed their first lab of the year on identifying substances as heterogenous or homogenous. Their lab report is due Monday and they must answer the following questions:
1. Propose a standard test or rule (an operational definition) that will work each time to correctly identify a material as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
2. Re-examine your hypothesis. How well did your test results support your hypothesis? Modify your hypothesis to reflect your findings.
3. Compare your conclusions with those of other students. Which products were easier to classify? Which ones were more difficult? Why?
Wednesday September 14
Students should complete their multiplying integers assignment for Monday. This is Page 297 #7, 8, 9, 10, and 12-16
Tuesday September 13
In Math students have been learning about multiplying integers with tiles. They should complete Pg. 291 #5-11, 12, 14, 15. In Science students have been learning about the classification of matter. We have discussed both pure substance and mixtures.
Sunday September 11
We had a busy first week in both Math and Science. In Math, we reviewed how to add and subtract integers, a skill that was learned last year in Grade 7. In Science, we reviewed the Particle Model of Matter along with the 3 different states of matter. This was also review from Grade 7.
