Liver Anyone? Today you will be baristas creating a new drink: The Raw Liver Latte!

In the human body, ENZYMES help speed up chemical reactions. 

Today we take a piece of raw pork liver and add it to Hydrogen Peroxide.  Raw liver contains an enzyme called "catalase" which has a job of breaking the bonds in hydrogen peroxide.  When those bonds are broken, atoms rearrange themselves and new products are formed.  

In today's lab, we discover the new products

LAB ACTIVITY: Calcium lab write up

The video above explains the law of conservation of mass

Assignment 7: Write up our lab on Calcium and water. 

 Your lab must include the following

1.  First and Last names of all investigators

2. Purpose of lab:  write about how this lab illustrates the law of conservation of mass.  Explain how the lab relates to the law
3. Materials: write a complete list of materials that we used
4. Procedure: write a step by step procedure (including illustrations if it makes it clearer) that is so well written that another person could read it and replicate your actions exactly
5.  What is the question we are trying to answer?  Write the two chemistry equations which were our possible outcomes of this reaction?  Oxygen gas or Hydrogen gas?
6. Results:  Describe in detail what happened after you did the procedure.  Include any photos you took.  How did you know you made the gas, which gas?  And was it Calcium hydroxide that was made? How do you know?

7.  Write your conclusion in paragraph form.


EVALUATION   IS OUT OF 25 IN TOTAL

5
presentation is out of 5.  for 5/5 it is typed  with illustrations or photos and emailed to msngscience@gmail.com.     for 4/5 it is pretty good but there are a few spelling mistakes.  for 0-3 out of 5 it is in pencil or messy.  I prefer this to be printed

10
Clear writing is out of 10.  for 9/10 or 10/10, it is written with no English mistakes and it clearly communicates each part of the lab report.    7-8/10  it is very well written     for 5-6/10 some parts are not so clear and the reader must guess what you are trying to say.  0-4/10, it is minimally communicating what happened

10
Paragraphs are insightful and your observations are well done. this is out of 10.
             9-10/10,   your observations and conclusions are well written and logical.  It is brilliant
              7-8/10   your observations and conclusions are very well done
               5-6   your conclusions don't really logically follow from your results
                0-4   your conclusions are not relating to your results at all
      

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
write all names and who contributed what including the % of their contribution. so two people who contributed equally would be50%

ASSIGNMENT: 5  Watch these videos and draw a little summary of the following 

 

  Evaluation: /10

Your one page summary is complete and covers all the ideas  beautifully communicated.  your work is in the form of a drawing, and it is inked, in colour  OR a podcast, OR a poem OR a SONG or any creative format which you can propose to me.

9-10/10.    This assignment is brilliant and stands out. it is very creative and covers all the important vocab words. it is clear.  If it is a drawing, it is inked and in colour

7-8/10.  This assignment is amazing and it is so creative!  it may be missing one or two concepts or vocab words. if it is a drawing it is very artistic and inked and in colour

6/10.  This assignment is a written summary of the concepts.  It is not a drawing or a poem but it is simply a write up in pencil. it is accurate and correct.

0-5.  This assignment is a pretty good start,. At this time, it is a draft and requires more time to make it complete.

ASSIGNMENT 6:  Practice makes perfect!

Do this Worksheet /5

Names and Formula of Compounds  The answers  are all here. 

 And also practice this NOMENCLATURE PRACTICE SHEET WITH KEY worksheet

complete this work for 5 marks YOUR NAME MUST BE ON THE SHEET.

ASSIGNMENT 8: In class practice sheets.  Show me a picture of your in class practice sheets all done. YOUR NAME must be on each sheet. Complete for 5 marks

Play the game of Compound

 Make a deck of cards for yourself and play the game of compound! 

safety

 Now we are doing a unit on safety. Please do the reading, the homework and MAKE A POSTER SHOWING   SUMMARY OF ALL THE RULES

Welcome to Science 10 Lesson 1

In our first lesson we  will go over science safety and start out with studying the ATOM. 

I will do a lesson on phase changes of atoms demonstrating SOLID, LIQUID, GAS.

I will ask you to write a paragraph describing our demo and also explaining phase changes in solid liquid and gas

Assignment 2:  summarize the class activity SOLID LIQUID AND GAS and explain how I did the demonstration using the following words:  solid, liquid, gas, evapouration, condensation, absolute zero, thermal energy, space between atoms.  draw a picture of the demo.or cartoon,   or photograph. 

completed summary: /10

8-10 / 10 - you explain the concepts in clear language and use all vocab words. You are an exceptional communicator and you are correct. your grasp of the concepts are excellent.

6-7/10 - you do an incredible job of summarizing and explaining the concepts.  you miss a few of the words

0-5/10- this work is not yet complete

this is due next day

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assignment 3:  Practice questions:   What is an atom?

An analogy for Atoms, Compounds and Formula, drawn by SN This video is the first in the series for beginner Chemistry. In this video, I use the analogy of the atom as units very much like "lego bricks". This analogy was first used by researchers in MIT.

Please do this worksheet in pen and also photograph it and hand it into teams

An introduction to Chemistry worksheet. The answer key to the worksheets are all here. 

completed worksheet:  /5 marks

Rubric:

4-5/5  it is neat, complete and legible

3/5.   it is not complete or not legible

0-2.  it is incomplete

assignment 4:  practice making lego formulae.  Take a picture of the lego formulae you did in class

We will learn the analogy of LEGO and  practice building lego compounds, and writing lego formulae

Take a picture of the work you did in class

Welcome to Science 10!

 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
