Welcome to Science 10!
This course is a lab course which will cover Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Astronomy. It is expected that you will receive most of your course content on line and we will do labs and field study in class. You will hand in ALL assignments through Microsoft Teams. I have set up my class so that the majority of the class notes shall be distributed on line from this blog.
The majority of class time will be lab work (chemistry and physics experiments, microscope work) and also field study (walking to Trout Lake). My windows shall be open ALL THE TIME to give us nice fresh air so dress warmly!
ASSIGNMENT 1. HAND IN YOUR CONSENT FORM /5
I would like you to download this consent form and bring it to class. It will give us the ability to walk to Trout Lake or Renfrew Ravine at any time that I announce during the term. Bring this consent form to class.
evaluation: 5 points for handing this in
As we go into Quadmester 2, I would like to prepare for learning during the second wave of Covid 19. I would like to remind everyone that the best way to protect one another in class is to keep our distance (2m), wash our hand frequently AND to wear a mask.
I invite you to flatten the curve by these simple measures! We will beat Covid 19 together! Further, all of my class assignments will be posted here on this blog and therefore, if anyone misses any class due to illness, or self-isolation, you can easily keep up with the work.
SAFETY MEASURES:
In class, our safety measures will include:
- a cap of 15 students in every class
- physical distance, as much as possible
- wear a mask! It is strongly encouraged by our VSB! (if you have medical reasons for not wearing a mask, please have your guardian inform me)
- no academic penalties for being home sick
- windows shall be open in my class to admit adequate ventilation.
- we can conduct class outside sometimes to do field study
