In two shortened weeks we only ended up having two classes of Science. We spent that time finishing off a graphing activity from before the break and then began looking at where the class are headed in Science over the…

We finished off our unit on electricity by looking at how common types of components affect current. We then had some preparation for the Checkpoint tests which the students then sat. We relaxed the week after exams with some fun…

In Science, students learned about electrostatics and the concept of charge. They also began exploring electricity and the difference between series and parallel circuits.

In Science, students learned how to give examples of displacement reactions. They also learned how to prepare some common salts by the reactions of metals and metal carbonates. We finished our unit on chemistry by looking at the effects of…

In Science, the class learned about the reactivity series. They learned about how metals and oxygen react to form metal oxides, how metals and water react to form metal hydroxides and hydrogen, and how metals and acids react to form…

In Science, we went over the practice Checkpoint tests and covered common mistakes that students can make during the tests. We also continued our work on endothermic and exothermic reactions and processes and looked at their practical applications.

In  Science this week, students began learning about endothermic and exothermic reactions and processes. We focused on combustion reactions but also looked at exothermic reactions involving water and acid.

In Science, we finished off our unit on the Periodic Table by looking at the properties of the noble gases. The students then had a go at a practice checkpoint test to see how they were tracking with their studies.

In Science this week, we continued our work on trends in groups and periods on the Periodic Table. This week we looked at the properties of the alkaline earth metals and the halogens.

In Science this week, students learned about the contributions of Mendeleev in the creation of the Periodic Table. They also learned to describe trends in groups and periods on the table. We finished off the week with a Periodic Table…
