Science 9
I have placed a review sheet on my wiki-site. This study guide can be checked off each item once you have read and studied the notes to ensure you have covered all the material this term. HINT: study the tests and answers you have in your notebook!
You will write your Science exam on Friday, January 29th at 8:20am in the Great Hall.
Bring a minimum of 2 sharp pencils and an eraser.
Math 9
Make sure you review the (hand-written 24 page) package I gave you on all the math we covered this term. This covers all material. Make special note of equation of the line (Y = mx + b) and what each portion of this equation means. Make special note of linear, parabolic and exponential curves.
You will write your Math exam on Thursday, January 28th at 8:20am in the Great Hall. Bring a minimum of 2 sharp pencils, an eraser, calculator and rualar with you.
Best of the exam spirits! I know you will do well.
Get a good nights sleep the night before.

Exam Schedule
Students should prepare themselves for exams by studying their notes and referring back to work covered over the term. English students may find it useful to review the movies watched in class, and reading through the novels again for key chapters.
BE PREPARED for your exam. Bring sharp pencils, and/or pens along with ruler, calculator and erasers if required. Notes will not be used, not are ipods or other musical devices allowed.
Advance to my wiki site for additional notes and PowerPoints studied in class.
Good luck to all.

Science 9 Test Review Questions and Answers
In full sentences, describe the similarities and differences between each pair of terms listed below. Write the page number where you find the information.
a) Physical property and chemical property
b) Ductile and malleable
c) Products and reactants
d) Element and compound
e) Atom and molecule
f) Metal and nonmetal
g) Atomic number and mass number
h) Proton and neutron
i) Period and group
j) Noble gas and alkali metal
Answers
a)Physical property and chemical property
Both changes in matter, but a chemical property results in the production of a new substance.
b)Ductile and malleable
Both involve shaping metals, but ductile refers to shaping into a wire.
c)Products and reactants
Both are required to write an equation, but reactants are the starting materials and products are the newly formed ones.
d)Element and compound
Both are pure substances, but an element contains only one kind of atom.
e)Atom and molecule
Both are particles, but an atom is indivisible in a chemical change.
f)Metal and nonmetal
Both are elements, but a metal is shiny, malleable, and conducts electricity.
g)Atomic number and mass number
Both involve counting protons, but atomic number is the number of protons only, without neutrons.
h)Proton and neutron
Both are nuclear (subatomic) particles, but a proton is positive.
i)Period and group
Both are areas of the periodic table, but a period is a row and a group is a column of the periodic table.
j)Noble gas and alkali metal
Both are elements, but noble gases are unreactive. Noble gases are in the far right column; alkali are the far left column (first group)
k)Combustion and Corrosion
Both are reactions with oxygen, but corrosion is very slow.
