Physics 11 - This week we study chapter 10.1 Work, Energy, Power. Students should begin reviewing for the Spring Exam (term 2 exam) scheduled for the last week of February.

Science 8 - We are starting Chapter 2 Body Systems. Students can begin reading and completing workbook chapter 2.

Math 9 - This week we start Chapter 3 Using Algebra to Solve Problems. Students should do the practice problems in each section and we will complete one or two sections each lesson.

January 26, 2009 (week 20)

AP Physics 12 - The air table lab is due Jan 26 and we will do a variety of practice problems in preparation for the chapter 6/7 test on Jan 30 (Work, Energy, Momentum).

Physics 12 - Same as AP Physics 12 but the chapter 6/7 test is on Feb 2.

Physics 11 - We will do a variety of practice problems in preparation for the chapter 9 Momentum test on Jan 30.

Science 8 - Students should complete all of workbook chapter 1 in preparation for the chapter 1 test on Jan 29.

Math 9 - I am picking up Mr Lee's Math 9 so welcome to my new students! We will write the chapter 2 test on Jan 28. Then we will get started with chapter 3 Using Equations to Solve Problems.

January 19, 2009 (week 19)

January 12, 2009 (week 18)

AP Physics 12 - We will continue to study Chapter 7 Momentum. This week we will focus on problems involding the conservations of momentum in 2-dimensions. Students must complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 7 test on January 22. Reminder to check the Burnaby South homework site for solutions to all practice problems.

Physics 12 - Same as AP Physics 12 above.

Physics 11 - We have started Chapter 9 Momentum. Students should look at the example problems and complete all of the textbook practice problems in preparation for the chapter 9 test, date TBA. Please check the Burnaby South Homework site for additional worksheets and practice.

Science 8 - This week we will finish chapter 1.3 We will learn about diffusion and osmosis and how these processes are important to cells. We will also spend two periods in the computer lab learning how to use software called PhotoStory3 which allows students to create interesting slide shows with text and audio.
