For parent-teacher interviews, I prefer for students to accompany their parents to the interviews. It is always a positive thing when students can hear nice things said about them!
Interview times are Wednesday, March 31st from 6 - 8pm and on Thursday, April 1st from 9 - 11am.
Students do not have classes beginning Thursday of interviews, Good Friday or Easter Monday.
I look forward to seeing everyone.

Math 9
The main portion of Math 9 midterm is EXPONENTS. Each student has a minimum of two exponent sheets in their notebooks - make sure you memorize the rules! We have practiced lots in the classroom too. All the math includes integer adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing: all of which we have been working on since September.
The math midterm will also include polynomials. My wiki has the powerpoints we looked at in class. All year I have been emphasizing the notes section of your math book - so now would be a good time to go through those notes and modelled examples of everything we have done.
I have confidence in you!
Good Luck.

Science 9 / 10 Midterm REview
Science 9 Review Midterm March 2010
STUDY your SPACE TEST. THE MIDTERM IS MULTIPLE CHOICE. In addition you should know and understand concepts such as: revolution and rotation of planers, earth’s rotation and revolution pertaining to the seasons, absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude. This information in your text book, online on my wiki site and we watched Bill Nye too! Here are the text book pages and topics you are responsible for:
Chapter 13
Page 400 - 402, 13.1 (What can we see in the sky?)
* VOCABULARY WORDS universe, astronomy, constellations, solar system, nonluminous, luminous, star, plane
* the difference between planets and stars (Table 1, page 402)
Page 404 - 405, 13.3 (The effects of Planetary Motion)
* VOCABULARY WORDS rotation, axis, revolution, Polaris, Sirius, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, zodiac constellations, constellations
* understand the difference between rotation and revolution, and be able to give examples of each relating to space
Page 418 - 419, 13.10 (The Solar System)
* VOCABULARY WORDS Sun, orbits, orbital period, ellipse, elliptical orbit,
* Why do surface temperatures differ?
Page 424 - 428, 13.14 (A closer look at the planets)
* VOCABULARY WORDS terrestrial planets, inner planers, outer planets
* main features of each planet (taken from the group handouts we took notes from in class)
* how the planets orbit
* the order of the planets from the sun
Page 430 - 433 (Other objects in the solar system)
* VOCABULARY WORDS satellites, moon, asteroids, asteroid belt, meteoroid, meteor, meteorite, comet
Chapter 14
Page 438 - 439 (Ideas about the Universe)
* VOCABULARY WORDS galaxy, Milky Way, Galileo, Sun-centred solar system
Page 452 - 45, 14.7 (The Sun: An Important Star)
* VOCABULARY WORDS nuclear fusion, photosphere, chromosphere, corona
Page 458 - 460, 14.10 (Characteristics of Stars)
* VOCABULARY WORDS stars, color, temperature, spectroscope, visible spectrum, apparent magnitude, absolute magnitude
* What does the color of a star tell us about temperature?
Page 461 - 463, 14.11 (Galaxies and Star Clusters)
* VOCABULARY WORDS giant spiral galaxy, spiral galaxy, barred-spiral, quasars, star clusters
We also watched Bill Nye The Moon, Bill Nye The Seasons, Bill Nye The Planets.
You are able to see many of Bill Nye clips on YouTube if you want to reference back.
You will illustrate 3 of five topics: three MATTER topics are: HAZARDOUS AND WHIMIS SYMBOLS, CLUES THAT CHEMICAL CHAGE HAS HAPPENED, PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES IN A CANDLE
These pages include only: 14, 16 - 19, 28 - 29, 30, 34, 38 - 39.
We completed an in class lab on Physical Properties of Matter and discussed the difference between qualitative and quantitative properties. Our lab included properties of matter we describe with our senses.
MATTER Review the definitions in your text of all vocabulary words. My BLOG has all the pages you should review and my WIKI has all the notes we have taken.
1.
a. Malleability f. ductility b. Hardness g. State c. Density
h. Precipitate d. Viscosity i. Solubility e. Corrosion j. Luster
( b) 1. an objects resistance to being scratched.
( f ) 2. When an object can be drawn into a thin wire.
(d) 3. Refers to how easily a liquid flows.
( i ) 4. Is the ability of a substance to dissolve.
( h ) 5. Cloudiness formed when two substances are mixed together.
( c ) 6. Is the amount of a mass per unit volume of matter.
( j ) 7. Whether an object shines.
( e ) 8. slow chemical change when a metal reacts with oxygen
( a ) 9. When a substance can be hammered or bent into different shapes.
( g ) 10. Whether an object is a solid, liquid or gas.
2. The following are examples of chemical or physical change (see page 28 and 29)
Changing an objects shape (Physical)
Complete change in colour (Chemical or Physical)
Hard to reverse (Chemical)
Change in state (Physical)
Heat or light is given off (Chemical)
Three chemical properties of matter: combustibility, reaction with an acid, flammability (see page 18 and 19); The physical properties of matter noted on (page 16 and 17); Three components are necessary for combustion: fuel, heat, oxygen (see page 38 and 39); Give one example of corrosion: rust (see page 34 and 35); you have noted tables; combustion pages 38 and 39 (don’t forget the fire triangle!)
Chapter 2; we started learning about the particle theory pn pages 44 – 45; we will continue from here AFTER midterms!
Good luck – study and do your best.

Science 9
We are doing group work in class this week along with review and notes for mid-terms next week. For the Matter Unit on the PARTICLE THEORY, Chapter 2, students have a number of vocabulary words they are using to formulate an analogy on a familiar topic. For example, vocabulary word ELEMENT is a basketball team. When the team plays against another team the game is a COMPOUND (two teams combined). When the team plays full court press, they represent a GAS and when they play zone the teams represent a SOLID.
There are some very creative ideas in the groups. I look forward to the in-class presentations on Thursday.
