UNIT FINAL: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3rd

Be prepared for your Environmental Chemistry Unit Final: Wednesday, March 3rd.

This week:

• Completed a skill practice on page 217, creating one part per million
• Handed in a practice sheet on calculating parts per million (ppm)
• Plotted data into 2 graphs and answered questions (page 231)
• Assigned a review booklet for unit - this is due for a check on Monday

STUDY TIPS:

1. Review the textbook; re-read any sections you do not understand

2. Complete all assigned vocabulary and assigned questions from your textbook

3. Review notes for each section of the unit on www.edquest.ca

4. Visit http://www.edquest.ca/pdf/sia93ut.pdf and practice a unit test!

5. Working with a partner/parent/guardian/brother/sister, test each other on main concepts

6. Need a video to remind you of a concept? Check out www.howstuffworks.com and search for the topic you are looking for. Below are a few videos that are appropriate for studying your material

Videos: These are just two good review vids! If you want to learn more about "Global Warming" it is recommended that you watch "An Inconvenient Truth" staring Al Gore; this video changed the way many people understand the changing climate of earth.

ANOTHER SNOWFALL!

The snowfall reminds us that with out the water cycle (in this case snow) we could not live in Calgary; because snow melt feeds the Bow River, eventually being used by Calgarians for various uses.

READING: Be sure you have read up to page 233 by MONDAY

QUESTIONS: Check and reflect questions: pg. 224 (1-5), pg. 228 (1-4) and pg. 233 (1-4) and Assess Your Learning on page 234 (1-9)

VOCAB: New vocabulary! Do it!

ALL QUESTIONS ARE DUE FOR A CHECK ON MONDAY FEBRUARY, 22nd

ANOTHER BREAK IS APON US! HAPPY FAMILY DAY!

Environmental chemistry affects us each day! Think about how all of us add chemicals to the environment; showers, sewage, food we eat (and the chemicals used to produce it), transportation emissions (fossil fuels) and many more!

IS WATER A HUMAN RIGHT? IS POLLUTING A HUMAN RIGHT? IS THERE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH POLLUTING EARTH? We will continue to explore these guiding questions for our unit in the weeks to come as we wrap up Environmental Chemistry!

LAST WEEK:

CWA: You wrote your common written Assessment for Science; great job on this! If you missed the day we wrote, be sure to speak to Mr. Mang and arrange a make up time.
LAB: We completed a lab on pH. Were you here? The lab is worth marks!!!
QUESTIONS: Page 190/195, 203 (1-4), 209 (1-7), and Page 211 (1-11). All of these questions were already due! Did you get your homework check mark?
