AP Physics 12 - We have to pick up the pace as there is only one month left for us to complete chapters 20, 21, and 22 plus a few extra topics that are unique to the AP syllabus. We will complete each chapter in 2 or 3 lessons so fasten your seatbelts and calculator belt-packs as we get set to fly! This week we will complete chapter 20 DC Circuits.

Physics 12 - This week we will begin chapter 20 DC Circuits. Students must complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter test, date TBA.

Physics 11 - We will continue to study chapter 12 Thermal Energy and do a couple of interesting labs related to heat energy and heat transfer. Students should complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 12 test on date TBA.

Science 8 - This week Mr. Grewal (UBC) will complete chapter 2 body systems. We will learn about nutrition and the digestive system. Students must complete all of workbook chapter 2 in preparation for the chapter 2 test on April 14.

Math 9 - We are currently working in chapter 4 Polynomials. Students should complete the practice problems in each section of chapter 4 in preparation for the chapter 4 test on April 17.

Science 8 - Mr. Grewal (UBC student teacher) has done a nice job introducing us to chapter 2 Body Systems. This week you will continue to learn about some of the human body systems including Respiratory and Circulatory. Students must complete workbook chapter 2 at their own pace in preparation for the chapter 2 test, date TBA. Also, many students have yet to complete their science project worth 20% of term three mark. If you've not yet selected a topic and/or type of project please see Mr. Fuerderer for some suggestions.
