Upcoming:
MathWe will go over the Exponent unit test on Wednesday. Quiz 5.1-5.4 next Tuesday March 6th. The quiz will cover modeling, simplifying, adding, and subtracting polynomials. ScienceChemical reactions lab write up or the alternate safety essay was due today for 9E. 9A Conservation of mass lab write up was due today. A quick quiz on naming ionic and molecular compounds is this Wednesday. We went over what will be on the quiz in class today. Matter and Chemical Change unit test is on Friday March 2nd. It will cover Topic 1-8 from the textbook (see the previous post for the pdf version). In addition, balancing synthesis chemical equation will be on the test. All multiple choice and numerical response format. Students got their review materials today in class (a concept map, unit review booklet, practice test, and a subatomic particles worksheet). See attachments for the pdf version.

MathWe just started the polynomials unit. We covered modeling using algebra tiles and simplifying polynomials. Next week we will be looking at adding and subtracting polynomials. Practice questions are assigned from the textbook. See below for Unit 5: Polynomials pdf version.
ScienceWe looked at balancing synthesis chemical equations. Students will have a quick quiz on reaction rate and a lab tomorrow. We will be doing a conservation of mass lab next week and start to wrap up the unit.
Reminders -Hitman Hockey field trip forms -Canada 2067 Conference field trip short essay due Tuesday Feb.20th Science 9We went over examples of exothermic and endothermic reactions, factors that affect reaction rate, and corrosion (Topic7&8). We will be looking at balancing chemical reactions and revisit Dalton's Theory after the long weekend. Students got "Compound Worksheet" on Tuesday as additional practice on Topic 6. Matter and Chemical Change Textbook
Upcoming:-Unit 2 Test on Tuesday Feb.13th -Theatre Calgary Field Trip on Wednesday Feb.14th Math 9We are coming close to the end of Unit 2: Powers and Exponents. This week we were working on Section 2.4-2.5 Exponent Laws. Students wrote Quiz 2.1-2.3 (evaluating powers, powers of ten, zero exponent, and BEDMAS with powers) this past Wednesday February 7th. We will go over the quiz on Monday and students will get to keep their quiz. Unit 2 Test is coming up this Tuesday. It will include Section 2.1-2.5 and Section 1.1 from the textbook (see textbook pdf attachment from the last blog post). Unit 2 review handout will be given out this Monday in class. Science 9We went over the followings:
-How to find ion charges on the periodic table -Writing ionic formulas -Naming ionic compounds with transition metals -Naming ionic compounds with polyatomic ions -Law of Conservation of Mass and Law of Definite Composition -Started on types of chemical reaction Ms. SritrakulAs many parents know (and hopefully all students!) I have been covering in the office since Mrs. Derbyshire has moved over to Robert Thirsk High school. In this time, we have tried to have substitute teachers in for stretches of time to gain consistency but I am now really excited that we have gotten Ms. Sritrakul to join our team for the remainder of our Chemistry Unit and beyond. Welcome Ms. Sritrakul! Field Trip FormsStudents have been given forms for Theatre Calgary and an intention form for Biogeosciences. If you have not yet returned the Theatre Calgary form, please do so. For Biogeosciences, the trip paperwork will come home to those that have paid the deposit or indicated their intent to attend the trip. This will happen over the next few weeks. In the interim, please ensure that the deposit has been sent in to the school or that we have received an indication that you are going to attend. There will be paperwork coming home for the Calgary Hitmen game that the school is going to attend at the end of February. The entire school is going to this event and the school has been given permission to shut down for the time that we are gone! This is a major event so please ensure that paperwork is returned promptly when it arrives home. Chemistry Anyone?
Powers and Exponent LawsWe are now over 1 week in to our powers and exponent laws unit and have gone through what a power is, base 10's and powers of 0, and the order of operations with powers. We will be discussing exponent laws next followed by perfect squares and square roots. Topics 1-3 of the attached textbook chapter have been covered and the next steps involve topics 4-6.
