    • May 7

      May 7, 2012

      Today we went through Kb calculations (similar to Ka that we talked about on Friday) 

      A worksheet was handed out...due on May 22nd (as well as the pH and pOH worksheet)  

      Your acid and base part 1 test will be on Friday May 25th 

      HAVE A GREAT GRAD TRIP!!!! 

    • May 4

      May 4, 2012

      Today we covered Ka calculations (powerpoint is uploaded).  Make sure to read the sections in Hebden especially if you missed class.   

      The Acid and Base worksheet is due on MONDAY 

    • May 3

      May 3, 2012

      Today we went over Ka and Kb (notes were handed out to play people...make sure to read the sections in Hebde, they will help you understand the material for tomorrow's class)  

      The rest of class was a work period to work on the Strong Acid/Bases worksheet (due on Monday) and the pH and pOH worksheet (due on Tuesday May 22...I would suggest doing it before the grad trip) 

    • May 1st

      May 1, 2012

      Today we (all 4 of us) talked about the ionization of water.  Those of you in the play you missed this...I will post the powerpoint so you can see  what you missed...there will be copies of the powerpoint for you tomorrow in class.  To help so you don't feel so lost you can read this section in Hebden to get an idea of what we are talking about 

      Tomorrow morning we are going to look at pH and pOH  

    • April 30th

      May 1, 2012

      Today we looked at the relative strength of acids and bases 

      Handed out an outline for the first part of the acids and bases unit (Hebden questions are good to do...won't be marked) 

      Worksheets are due - Worksheet #1 due on May 7th, Worksheet #2 and #3 due May 22nd 

    • April 27

      April 27, 2012

      Covered a lot today... 

      We covered conjugate acid and base pairs (question 15-19 were assigned) 

      Also looked at a new table that we will use in the acid base unit (the relative strength of acids and bases) and talked about strong and weak acids and bases (questions 21-27 were assigned). 

      A worksheet was handed out...you are able to answer some of those questions...but not all....no due date yet!  

    • April 26

      April 26, 2012

      Today we covered the Bronsted Lowry theory of acids and bases.  Questions 11 - 14 were assigned...and most finished in class.  If you didn't finish in class the questions are due tomorrow 

    • CHEM TEST

      April 23, 2012

      Chem Test is Made! The test has 

      - 34 multiple choice + a bonus MC question.  If you show your calculations there may be part marks awarded...

      - 5 written questions (17 marks).  You only need to answer 4 of the questions...similar to the math test where there is an option to do either question 1 or 2...if you do both you may get bonus marks.  There is definitely a separating ions question, trial Ksp question, and titration question for written.   

      I will check emails regularly tonight in case you are having problems with the material.  I strongly suggest you work through the reviews online and the ones that were  handed out.  It's the best way to study for this test...a lot of calculations.  Remember too that I will be at school by 7:30 in case you need extra help (come to the door by my room...may not hear you at the other end!) 

    • April 23

      April 23, 2012

      Today we spent the class reviewing for the Chem Test.  I will be here by 7:30 tomorrow morning if you want help on the material.  Band students I would like it if you could write the test tomorrow...but if not you will have to make arrangements outside of class when we can write it (it's getting REALLY BUSY...so keep that in mind). 

    • Extra Chem Review

      April 22, 2012

      I just posted an extra Chem Review for you if you want extra practice with multiple choice questions.  There may be some questions that we didn't cover.  If it looks like Greek to you...don't worry about it only pay attention to the ones that look familiar. 

      Test is not made yet...but will post what the breakdown is once I have made it! 

    • April 19

      April 19, 2012

      Today we covered pages 109-115 in Hebden.  Started the Acid and Base unit.  A good part of this is going to be review

    • April 17

      April 17, 2012

      Today we spent time working on titration questions in Hebden (page 101 #70-73) these were finished in class.  Then a review and extra Ksp practice worksheet was handed out.  Review is going to be marked...extra practice won't BUT there will be questions on your test that come from this extra practice worksheet!   

    • QUIZ tomorrow

      April 12, 2012

      Quiz for tomorrow is ALL multiple choice...there are 20 questions!  You will be given both tables so make sure you know how to use them.   

      Might want to think of a funny joke for class tomorrow ... could be a bonus question 

    • April 11

      April 12, 2012

      Today we read through the Tutorial 12 handout you were given that explains how to do titrations.   

      Homework is to finish off the last 4 questions on that handout (the self test).  MAKE SURE TO SHOW ALL YOUR WORK...this is so IMPORTANT.  

      There is a quiz tomorrow on solubility.  The quiz covers the following topics... 

      - separating ions 

      - solubility (using your table to determine if it soluble or if it forms a ppt) 

      - Ksp (writing it...finding it...comparing the trial to the actual)  

    • Marks are Updated

      April 11, 2012

      Marks are updated for you.  

      I will be able to tell you your grade for this term tomorrow in class.  For band students if you email me I can send you what your mark is.

    • April 16

      April 16, 2012

      Today in math class we went over tangent, secant, and cosecant graphs.   

      The worksheet from day 5...(says Kuta software above) is due tomorrow.  You do not have to do the cot and tan graphs...you will not be asked to draw these on your test.  

      Tomorrow is a review class...test is on Thursday. (I will talk about the "make up" log assignment/project on Thursday too when everyone is back) 

    • April 13

      Day 5 Homework was due today...class time was given to finish it off.   

    • Trig Homework/ Quizzes

      April 11, 2012

      Ok...there are A LOT of missing assignments for Math 12 right now.  I have posted them in the classroom for you to see tomorrow.  The majority of you are missing Day 3 (page 199) and Day 4 (page 209) homework.  This will be inlcuded in your mark for this report card. 

      Also remember that Day 5 homework is due tomorrow...which will also be included. 

      Band students you can slide it under my door if you finish it tonight so that it'll be included, if not...your mark for this term will change on your year end report card.  

      QUIZZES... 

      I have omitted your lowest scoring quiz from your mark this term.  If you had 2 quizzes omitted already I didn't omit the lowest scoring quiz.   

      There is a quiz tomorrow...this will NOT be included on this report card as there are a bunch of students away that won't be able to make it up before report cards go home.  It will cover all of trig so far...questions will be similar to the ones in your textbook.  

    • April 10

      April 10, 2012

      Today we finished off the day 4 handout...which coincides with day 5 on your worksheet. 

      Homework is just 1 - 33 (odd's) don't worry about 34 and 35!  

    • DAY 4 HELP

      April 9, 2012

      Seems like there are LOTS of questions about finding the period of a trig function.  I have scanned a couple of pages that should help you figure this out.  If you're still stuck you can email me or pop in before school to get help, remember though I have morning devotions until about 8:30 so not a lot of time for extra help 

      DAY 3 and DAY 4 homework is due on Tuesday 

    • April 5

      April 5, 2012

      Today we finished off Day 3 and covered Day 4 material.  Homework is on your outline sheet! 

    • April 3

      April 3, 2012

      Today we started to cover day 3 material...got just over half way through it...will finish it on Thursday.  YOu don't have a quiz on Thursday, and Day 3 homework is not due...HOWEVER I strongly suggest that you work on what  you can of day 3 homework so that you have less over the long weekend!   

      Thursday we will talk about your log tests....
