January 5, 2009 (week 17)

Welcome back to school everyone. I wish you all a happy and successful 2009!

AP Physics 12 - We will start Chapter 7 Momentum and Impulse. Reminder to do a minimum of 25 problems from the text and/or old provincial exams. Check out the school homework site for helpful information.

Physics 12 - We will continue with Chapter 7 Momentum and Impulse. Reminder to do a minimum of 25 problems from the text and/or old provincial exams. Check out the school homework site for helpful information.

Physics 11 - We will spend one lesson learning about Sir Isaac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation which is covered breifly in chapter 8. Then we are starting Chapter 9 Momentum. Reminder to do a minimum of 25 problems from the text and/or testbank worksheets. Check our the school homework site for helpful information.

Science 8 - We will resume our studies in Chapter 1 Cells Are the Basic Unit of Life. Students should be completing workbook chapter 1 at their own pace in preparation for the end of chapter test, date TBA.

December 15, 2008 (week 16)

Last week of classes before Christmas holidays. Let's make it a good one!

AP Physics 12 - Reminder of the Unit Test covering chapters 2-6 (and a bit of thermodynamics) on December 16. We will finish up Simple Harmonic Motion SHM problems and try a few more PV graphs. Over the holidays I suggest that students visit AP Central website and download a few practice AP Physics exams.

Physics 12 - Reminder of the Unit Test covering chapter 2-6 on December 16. We have started chapter 7 Momentum and Impulse and will complete this chapter when we return to school in January 2009.

Physics 11 - Reminder of the Unit Test covering chapters 3-6 on December 16. We will spend one lesson learning about Isaac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation which is a small section in chapter 8. We will start chapter 7 Momentum and Impulse when students return to school in January 2009.

Science 8 - We will finish up our lab activities involving the microscope. In the new year we will learn about Cell Organelles (chapter 1.2). Some students may opt to build a 3-D Model of the cell (plant or animal) and instructions can be found in textbook chapter 1. Please let Mr Fuerderer know if you are planning to work on this project over the holidays.

December 8, 2008 (week 15)

AP Physics 12 - We will finish chapter 6 Work, Energy, Power and prepare for the Unit Test on December 16 covering chapters 2-6 (and a wee bit on fluid theory too).

Physics 12 - We have finished chapter 6 Work, Energy, Power and are preparing for the Unit Test on December 17 covering chapters 2-6.

Physics 11 - We will finish chapter 6 Vectors this week and prepare for the Unit test on December 16 covering chapters 3-6.

Science 8 - Reminder of the chapter 9 Fluid Systems test on December 9. Students should complete all of workbook chapter 9 in preparation for the test. We have started chapter 1 Cells and we will spend a few periods learning to use the microscope and examining a variety of cells under magnification.
