Today we went over the Ch 16 test. We will be skipping to Ch 19 next in case you want to start reading and doing the vocab.
Ch 19 will be the last chapter for the semester.

If you are reading this, you may be interested to know that next fall Byng Schools will have a new interface for the school website.

I have been testing, reviewing and assisting with the implementation of the new system. Hopefully it will be an even better tool for communication between the school, families and community.

If you have been checking in recently I apologize for not updating the blog daily. It has been slipping my mind during the day due to track meets/practices, being sick, and trying to spend every other spare second at school getting my advisory students enrolled.

Chemistry is still working on Ch 14. We did demos on Boyle’s Law today as well as work problems for the combined gas law. Worksheets may be due as early as Tuesday.

Physics is nearing completion of Ch 14 also (Waves). Today we covered superposition (constructive and destructive interference). We watched some applets demonstrating interference. We also took 10 minutes to learn how to juggle :) –Hey, I read where there is a connection between learning to juggle and cognitive functioning so it seemed like a good idea. LOL Worksheets will be due Tuesday for Physics also.

Today we discussed Ideal vs Real gases, Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure, and Boyle’s Law.

These topics are in the Ch 14 Powerpoint file.
