CTS Test Tomorrow

Test Tomorrow in the forensic science section.

Bio Endocrine Test

Endocrine test on Friday.

Sc. 10 Test tomorrow

Tomorrow is our test on speed, distance, velocity and acceleration. We will be starting the next unit so that we can jump right in when we return from the break.

CTS Test coming up

The final test for this year will be on Thursday for the Forensic Unit and will cover everything up to now. Study guide will be taken up tomorrow.

Bio 30 Endocrine Test

We have decided that it would be better to have the Endocrine Test before we leave for the Christmas break so the test in now on December 21. We will take up the questions tomorrow that were assigned on Monday.

Sc 10 Almost Christmas

Only the test left to do before we break before Christmas. Our test is scheduled for Thursday this week. The study guide will be taken up tomorrow. By now you should have handed in your lab on acceleration and your textbook questions will be marked.

CTS Correcting Day

Today we corrected all of the assignments on bones that we have done. Tomorrow we will look at blood and how it plays a part in a crime scene.-

Bio 30S Endocrine Glands

We finished off the notes on the Endocrine System. Tomorrow we will go over our study guide for the test on Friday. -+

Sc 10 Acceleration Rules Baby

Today we ran a toy car down a ramp and used a ticker tape timer to find the displacement after each 1.0 second time interval. We then graphed the results. For tomorrow both graphs must be done: displacement vs time and velocity vs time.

We will work on the questions and the worksheet tomorrow.

CTS: Bones broken, shattered etc.

Today we looked at how to tell the difference between an animal and a human bone. We looked at how to tell your ancestry from your bones and what kinds of fractures result from certain kinds of trauma. We will continue to work on this tomorrow.

Bio 30 Testing your reflexes

Today we looked at the reflex arc and how it works. It seems you don't even need a brain for this to work. It seems that some of you have very good reflexes then. (HaHaHa).

Our test is on Friday, December 14, 2007. Our next unit is the Endocrine system and how it plays a role in homeostasis of the body.

Sc 10 Last Day for Distance/Time Graph

Today we worked on the Distance Time Velocity Worksheet in which we should have graphed our data over the weekend. Tomorrow they are due to hand in complete with all the questions and the graphs done well.

Our next section is on Acceleration, graphing velocity vs time and finding total distance travelled from the graph. We will be using those graphing skills again so don't forget them.

CTS Big Feet-Tall Person Maybe?????

Today we measured different parts of the body and compared these to our heights. Did we find any correlations? Yes. Feet are 15% of our height. This may become important when we investigate our crime scene in January.

Bio 30 What a Bunch of Brain Children

Today we looked at the brain its parts, and functions. Some lively discussions took place around the brain and alcohol. You were then given a worksheet on the reflex arc which will be due by Monday. You were also given the study guide for this unit. On Monday we will discuss a possible date for this test.

Sc 10 Running in the Hall

Today we collected the purple sheet as it was due at the start of class. We then collected data from one of the students who walked slow, fast and ran in the hall for us. We timed how long it took him to get to the 5m mark, the 10m mark etc up to 50m. Now it is your turn to plot all this data onto your graph paper. All 5 graphs must be completed by Monday so we can start analyzing the graphs. Be sure to have them done.

CTS - Library Research

As yesterday there were so few people here, we will again try the computers for the research you need to do for the worksheets you got on Monday.

Bio 30 - What a storm!!!

Today we went over the worksheet on the neuron as well as finished off transmission of impulse from neuron to neuron. Tomorrow I hope to be able to get you into the library for the disorder research.

Sc 10 - Are you dug out yet?????

Yesterday was a great day to study weather. Unfortunately, we couln'g do it at school so today we had to go over yesterday's work. You were given two worksheets that will be due for tomorrow's class. They are the white sheet and the purple sheet.

Tomorrow we will be conducting an experiment with distance, velocity, displacement, time and graphing. It will be a lot of fun so don't miss it.

CTS - yes we can see your fingerprints

On Friday we had a look at iodine fumigation of a fingerprint and found that it shows up quite nicely. Today we also saw a print from the Krazy glue chamber. Your Forensic Books were handed in today as well. Tomorrow we will look at the effects of alcohol on your brain and your body handles it.

Biology 30 - See how the impulse travels.

Today we had a short video on the nervous system and saw how the impulse travels down the axon to another nerve cell. You also saw how one neuron communicates with another through transmitter substance. Tomorrow you go to the library to do your reseach on the neurological disorders. Be sure to bring with you your worksheet with the disorders on them.

Science 10 - Weather Tests are Back

Today I handed back the Weather tests. We then continued on in our unit on Motion. The assignment was page 358 1-7. This will be due for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will be getting two worksheets on distance and time so you can get more practice on this concept.

CTS Fingerprinting

Yesterday we looked at the types of fingerprints that people have and then we fingerprinted ourselves. That was a messy assignment. Today we looked at other methods of lifting latent prints other than dusting "cinnamon" on them.

Stay Warm and Safe.

Bio 30 Don't Be a Nervous Nellie.

Well we started the Nervous System yesterday by looking at the neuron and how it is constructed. Today we looked at the brain and its parts. Monday we will look at a video about the nervous system as well as finish up any of the work that was not done for the last 2 days. Those of you who were away at volleyball need to get as much of the assignments that you took with you done for Monday.

Stay Warm and Stay Safe for this weekend!!!!!

Sc 10 "Speeding" right along

Yesterday we looked at speed, distance and time and how they relate. We looked at graphs of two vehicles travelling at different rates. It was easy to see the fastest car had the greatest slope on the graph. Today we had a work period to get the following assignments done for Monday.

Page 14/15 of the In Motion booklet questions 1-5
Page 349 of the textbook 7-10

These MUST be complete for Monday's class.

Stay Warm this Weekend!!!

CTS: CSI Chicks and Robbie

Today we set up our forensic book and started the unit again (Band yesterday). We also had 2 worksheets that will be due for Thursday.

Bio 30 Immunity

Just a reminder of your test for tomorrow.

Today we looked at a specific mediated cell response in our immune system. It is hard to imagine how a battle rages inside of us and we don't even realize it is taking place. Pathogens are destroyed all the time.

For those away on Thursday and Friday, I will try to get together some materials for you.

Sc 10 New Unit - MOTION

Today we went over any questions that students had in regards to tomorrow's Weather Test. We then started the new unit on Motion. We talked about measurement and how accuracy plays a role in calculating using the measurement. Significant Digits was the topic. After your test tomorrow you can work on the homework assignment that was given to you today. It is page 349 1-6. This assignment will be due on Thursday Nov. 29.

WOW!!! I can't believe we only have 17 days of school left before holidays.

STAY WARM.

It is the Forensic Science unit. For this unit you will need a duo-tang for your Forensic Book and all of your activities that we do.

Bio 30 The Nephron

Today we got to colour our pictures of the kidney and the nephron. Tomorrow we will learn how it all works and what makes us "pee".

Sc 10 Weather maps

Today we looked at weather system maps and learned how to tell where a low system and high pressure system are located. We also took a look at how a low pressure system forms and what an occluded front and stationary front look like. At the end of the class an assignment was given to the class which we will work on tomorrow in class. This is not due for tomorrow. Page 550-551 all of the questions on these two pages.

Tomorrow we will look at weather station symbols.

CTS Mission to Mars

Yesterday we got started on our Mission to Mars project. This project will continue until November 21 which is when it will be due. You need to make sure that you work hard each class in order that it be finished by November 21.

Have a good weekend

Bio 30 Come with your pencil crayons!!!

Today we looked at the lung capacity, lung diseases, and started the excretory system. On Monday we will be colouring a picture of the excretory system (aka. the kidney) and learning how it functions. It looks like our next test will be the week of November 26- 30. We will discuss this on Monday.

Have a good weekend.

Sc 10 Extreme Weather Projects

We presented out Extreme Weather Projects to the class today. You will get your photocopied fact sheets on Monday as well as your mark for the project then. These facts about the weather phenomena will be used on your test in weather. The test will be around November 28 or 29 as we only have 3 days of school next week.

Monday we will be starting the forecasting section to the weather unit. Pretty soon you will be as accurate as the weatherman.

Sc. 10 - Extreme Weather Project

Today we went over the worksheet that was assigned on Friday. For those of you who did not complete the assignment you will need to get it done on your own.

We also started our Extreme Weather Projects. This is due on Friday as the presentations will be seen at this time. Don't forget to look in your text book for information as well as other sources.

Bio 30 Respiration

Today we started the new unit called Respiration and Excretion. There are no assignments in this as of yet. Tomorrow we will start with the air coming into the lungs and learn how the body reacts to create breathing.

See you there

Sc 10 - Weather Presentations

This blog is for both Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday's classes. Tomorrow we will start our Extreme Weather Projects. You will be given an outline as to what needs to be done in tomorrow's class, work on it for Wed. and Thurs. and present it on Friday to the rest of your classmates. Be prepared to work very hard on this. All work will need to be completed by Friday as this is the last day for Miss Gancher to be here.

CTS: Mars Test

Now you will be able to put together all that you have learned thus far in a short test that will be taking place on Wednesday, Nov. 14.

Sc 10 - What a Windy Day!!!!!

We continued with our Weather Unit. Today we looked at prevailing winds, ocean currents, and the jet stream by using a fill in the blank worksheet. For those of you who were in the band rehearsal during the first class, you will need to get this worksheet done by Tuesday. Yes I said Tuesday because we have NO class on Monday.

Get caught up on your sleep this weekend so you are ready to Give 'Er on Tuesday.

Have a good long weekend

CTS No Exam for You

CTS will not have an exam in it. However, you will write a test on the Space Unit of what you have learned so far. Tomorrow a date will be set for the test and any presentations not done today will be done tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Bio 30 - Only 3 more sleeps

Three more sleeps until the Bio Exam.

For those of you who still have to do your lab from Friday, we will be meeting on Tuesday Nov. 13 at 12:30 to get it done. By then maybe volleyball season will be done.

Sc 10 2 More Sleeps

Just two more sleeps until be meet to write out mid-term exam. The exam will be written in the classroom as our gym is booked during the night for volleyball so desks would have to be moved too often.

Be sure that if you have any overdue assignments that you have them into me by Friday to be counted toward this term's course work. You were told today who has the outstanding assignments due.

Sc. 10 - Only 5 More Sleeps

Yes there are only 5 more sleeps until we write our Mid Term Exam. Monday's class will be a studying guide working period so be sure to bring your guide and anything you have done on it to class on Monday.
Tuesday we will take up any questions you have as well as I will discuss the format for your exam. (There may be helpful hints given this day so be sure to come with your ears stuck on tight that day)

If you were away this Friday you will need to get the hand out and fill it out. The hand out is on my web page. Go to the RCI school site
http://www.rrsd.mb.ca/schools/rivers_collegiate/index.html
and click on the link called "Atmosphere and Hydrosphere Notes".

The assignment for the hydrosphere and atmosphere is Page 513 #3-9 and Page 524 #2-4. This is a hand in assignment due for Monday. Most of you will likely have it done as you had 20 minutes in class already.

See you Monday

CTS: Hydroponics for Veggies

We continued to work on our hydroponics research assignment. Tomorrow we will present the different types of hydoponic set ups and then discuss which one you feel will be the best to take to space to grow your "veggies" to keep you alive.

This will depend on how many of you will be away for volleyball etc. but let's aim for tomorrow as to the date for presentations.

Bio 30 So What Type are You Anyway???

Today we looked at the blood types for humans. You found out that the red blood cell can contain 3 different types of antigens on its surface and as to which one(s) you have determines the type of blood you have. Tomorrow you will be doing a blood typing lab on some simulated blood.

For those of you up late last night make sure you get a good night's sleep. There are only 7 more sleeps until your mid-term exam.

Sc. 10 Weather Questions Due

Today the class had a look at climate, weather, convection currents, radiation, conduction of heat, and albedo (how well materials reflect light). The assignment that goes with this is Page 502 1, 3-7. This will need to be finished by tomorrow so we can take it up and discuss it.

Hope you all get a good night sleep after being out last night. There are only 6 more sleeps until you write your mid-term exam.

Dracula Would Love This Class

Today we had our Circulation Test. After that we continued on the components of blood: erythrocytes, leucocytes, platelets, blood plasma.
There are no assignments due for tomorrow. However, we will look at an EKG at the beginning of the class. I will need a couple of victims NO! NO! I mean volunteers to be the guinea pigs for this activity.

Have a good time tonight and be safe.

What Influences this Darn Weather

Today we had our Acid and Base Test. After that we worked on a Weather Worksheet. This sheet is due for tomorrow at the beginning of the class. Some of the questions will be for term marks.
Have a good time tonight and be safe.

I hate decompression.

Today we looked at how long we as an astronaut would need to spend in a decompression chamber in our space suit before going on a space walk. Some of us have a long time to do nothing before going on our walk.

Circulation and Pressure Test

Circulation test is on October 31. Our next unit is on blood. Hopefully Dracula doesn't attend class of Halloween or there won't be any blood to look at the next day. HaHa

We have now looked at the pump and the tubes. Now we look at the fluid that travels in those pipes.

Science Grade 10 - I have to study now!!!

Remember that your test is on Wednesday October 31.

Our next unit is all about weather. By the time you finish you will be just like the "hippie-dippie" weather man and predict tomorrow's weather with just as much accuracy as the weather department. Here's hoping you can.

Mission to Mars

We continue to get ready for our Mission to Mars project. Today we will look at Boyle's Law and start discussions on decompression to begin our EVA (a.k.a. spacewalk)

And the Beat Goes On

Today we had a look at the mechanics of the heart beat and then looked at hypertension in the circulatory system. Maybe take a look at the DASH diet for some more information on the subject.

For Monday, you will need to have your Cardiovascular questions, Heart Rate questions,and the Blood Pressure questions done so we can take them up for discussion.

Good Luck to the volleyball players and hopefully you get the questions done for Monday.

REMINDER OF YOUR TEST ON OCTOBER 31.

Hurray!!! No homework for the Weekend

We took a look at Acids and Bases in Industry today. Topics included acids & bases in biological systems, in the home, in industry, exothermic and endothermic reactions, acid rain and how it is made and how it affects the environment.

There is no homework for the weekend but REMEMBER THE TEST ON OCTOBER 31
Monday's class will look at other ways to use acids and bases in our everyday lives.

The study guide for this unit must be finished by Tuesday as we will be going over it that day.

Have a good weekend

"I can't afford to take a shower, Mom"

Please remember that your grey water shower assignment is due tomorrow. I think you will find that most of you can't afford to shower in space the way you do on Earth. It costs too much to take that amount of water into orbit. So, for the astronaut wanna-bees, start cuttting down on your 45 minute shower.
Today we looked at nitrogen partial pressure and how it dissolves in our tissues. We also discussed how it will need to be addressed on our EVA's.

I Feel the Pressure Rising!!

Today we looked at how the heart actually beats and what controls its rhythm. Tomorrow will be about blood pressure in the the system. Don't make mine rise please!

Be sure that you have your questions on the circulatory system complete for tomorrow. It looks like we will have a test on this unit on November 2 but things may change if we get done sooner.

Acids, Bases, & Neutrals, Oh My!!!!!

We are slowly wrapping up the unit on Acids and Bases. Your worksheet questions will be due tomorrow (Friday). Be sure that you write the answers in complete sentences as you have been instructed.

Reminder: TEST ON ACIDS AND BASES WILL BE OCTOBER 31, 2007 (HALLOWEEN) Could be bonus points for costumes!!!

Circulation in the Body

Today we learned about the two systems of circulation-systemic and pulmonary. Our unit is not too far off being completed which will mean a test likely next week. We will then start blood and all of its components.

How much air do we need in space?

The CTS class took a look at how much air would be needed to do an EVA( spacewalk). They took a resting breathe rate and a breathe rate after running outside. This was to be the same as working slowly and strenuously in space.

Reminder that our shower activity is due on Friday. Get your soap in to find its mass!!!!!

Checking on Household Items-Science 20

The morning science class worked with common household substances to find out if they were acids, bases, or neutral. The afternoon class was spent with the health nurse and her presentation. Tomorrow you will do the household substances.

Reminder that you will have a quiz on Acids and Bases towards the end of next week. We will set a date tomorrow. A study guide will be coming very shortly.

The Science Mid-Term Exam is set for Wednesday Nov. 7 at 9 am. You need to start studying right away. Your study guide will be given to you tomorrow.

A Class Full of Surgeons

Today we dissected pig hearts in class. We need to thank Maple Leaf for donating the hearts to our class. There was lots of ooh and aah as the heart was opened up to reveal chambers, blood clots, and sinews on the valves.
Tomorrow we will look at systemic and pulmonary circulation in the body. Good class guys.

So!! What are the Properties of Acids and Bases

Today we had a discovery exercise in which we looked at the properties of acids and bases with indicators: both nature and chemical. We created some pretty cool colours with these. Parents, if your student starts boiling some purple cabbage for its juice, they are just trying to find more acids and bases in your house. Tomorrow we will be doing part B of this exercise as well as a worksheet of questions that will need to be done by Thursday.

Not Many Clean CTS Students

This is a reminder that you need to complete the Grey Water Shower activity for this Friday. Some of you still need to weigh your shower gel or bar of soap. This assignment is due on Friday October 26.
Today we took a look at a worksheet on Partial Pressures of Gases. The sheet was taken up today.

Don't Forget to Shower!

Hope you liked the video we saw today about the Mission to Mars. You will need information from this video to help you do the final project when you design the Mars space settlement and how you will get there.
Be sure to work on that shower activity this weekend, and those of you who forgot your soap, remember to bring it on Monday. Have a great weekend.

Biology 30 S

Today we had our test on Biomolecules and Nutrition. On Monday those of you who were at soccer today will need to let me know what class (or at noon) that you will be writing. By the way, congrats to the soccer team on your win over Birtle this am.
Monday will be the continuation of the unit on Circulation and Blood. Miss Gantor will be conducting this unit for us. She is very excited to work with your class.

See you on Monday.

Science 20 F

Well we are almost done our Chemistry bonding section. TEST IS ON MONDAY !!!!!!!!
Be sure that you study this weekend. Review your questions and worksheets that we did for this unit.

Can you afford to shower in space?

Try and remember to bring in your soap for tomorrow so we can find its mass before you do the shower activity on the weekend. Also, if your rocket activity is not finished, you will need to get that done and handed in to me before you leave class tomorrow. We will be looking at a video called Mars Rising to help us with this unit. See you tomorrow.

Bio 30S Test

Make sure you come prepared for tomorrow's test. It likely will not take all class so we will continue on with the Circulation unit after everyone is done the test. See you tomorrow.

Bonding Test

Be sure that you do a review of your bonding unit for the test on Monday. Tomorrow we will view a video on bonding and the periodic table as well as do some more review for the test. Please be sure that you have all overdue assignments ready to hand into me by tomorrow.

CTS

We continued on with our rocket research from yesterday. This will need to be finished by tomorrow complete with the questions as found on the worksheet for this activity.

A reminder that your test is on Friday. We will take up the study guide on Thursday. If you are away on Friday, you will need to write the test on Monday either in a spare or at noon hour.

Rockets everywhere

The CTS students started their discovery of the best rocket to build. They will be looking at number of fins, placement of fins, shape of fins, and weight of the rocket. There are paper rockets flying everywhere. It is great!!!!

Reactions at the Dance

Hope you enjoyed the discussion about the types of reactions and how each one can be like students at a dance. Ex. synthesis--> boy + girl = couple (compound). Decomposition--> couple breaks up into two separate people. Single replacement--> a couple breaks up and the guy joins with another girl only to leave his first girlfriend by herself. Double replacement--> two couples switch partners.

Tomorrow you will get a chance to practice these on your own. Good luck. A REMINDER OF THE TEST ON MONDAY. IF USED TO BE SET FOR FRIDAY BUT WE WILL NOW HAVE IT ON MONDAY. START STUDYING NOW.

Rocketing to Success

Today we looked at what makes a rocket get off the ground. The Space Shuttle is an amazing craft and Tuesday we will look at some of the options that can be used to get us to Mars. We will also be flying paper rockets to determine where if any fins need to be placed, if added weight makes a difference and how well each prototype will fly. The fun is about to begin.

Seeing Food Labels in my Sleep

I hope you had a good time with the food labels today. I know that some of you now know that there actual is a label on the product and that it tells us a lot. Monday will be a research day for the FAD diets that we all hear about or have chosen to use. Lets find out as much as we can. Tuesday we will present them to the rest of the class.

NO HOMEWORK FOR MONDAY!!!!!!!

Today we looked at covalent bonding and took up page 204 1-6. IF you where away please be sure that it is complete for Monday. Monday's class is a work period that you need to complete Page 223 and 229 for Tuesday's class. We only have a few more things to cover before our test which will be next Friday October 19. Have a great Science Free weekend.

Rockets Away

Today we looked at the history of the rocket. Be sure that the assignment about Where you Will Live in Space is handed in for tomorrow (that's Friday October 12) The history worksheet should also be ready for Friday.

Vitamins, Minerals, and Nutrients Oh My

Hopefully you have brought some labels so we can look at them and then decide on the nutritional value for the foods that you have eaten. Be sure to log all that you ate during one day this week. You will need this by Tuesday.

Let's Share our Bonds

Today we had a look at covalent bonding. These elements must have gone to kindergarten as they sure know how to share (at least their electrons). Be sure to have all assignments done and handed in for those of you who have been away. See you tomorrow.

Where do we Live in Space?

We will continue to work on our information gathering for the planets. Also by the end of class I hope you will have completed which planet you want to live on and give your reasons. If you are reading this and are the first one to come to me and say "Science is the best subject in the world" I will have a prize for you.
