Communication	Phone Calls and Password Resets
What did we do?	Hello everyone! Today you should be expecting a call from one of your lovely teachers. We have some questions to ask you before we kick off online learning. So if you get a call from a number you don't recognize that might be us! Students, we will likely be communicating with you by email so please make sure you know your CBE gmail login information. If you have forgotten your password here is a link to help you reset it https://passwordhub.cbe.ab.ca/ Look forward to chatting today!

Hello everyone! 

We hope you all are feeling healthy.

This week we will be switching learning platforms away from our blog and in to D2L Brightspace.  This is where we will be doing all of our remote learning for the foreseeable future. Each week your Math & Science tasks will be posted in D2L in the order you need to complete them. These tasks can also be found in the content tab. While you are working through each task, teachers will be available at different times through Google Meet for you to ask questions.  The "nickname" for the tutorial will be posted in the announcements section 5 minutes before the tutorial starts. The one hour start times for grade 9 tutorials this week are as follows:

Math 9/Science 9 Monday (12pm, 1pm, or 2pm)
Wednesday (9am, 10am, 11am) 

Please take a look at this D2L tutorial video that we have created to help you get to know D2L a bit better! 

D2L Tutorial Video

This week we will continue on with Polynomials & Environmental Chemistry. 

Please email your teacher if you are having any trouble logging on to D2L or getting in to your Math shell or Science shell.

Enviro Chem	D2L: Chapter 3 - Topic 3
What did we do?	1) First of all, thank you to a student who completed the lab and emailed their results in! It’s not too late to try some science at home! Check out the lab and follow the procedure to make your very own universal indicator so you can test additional household products!! Don't forget to share your results :) Click here for a link to the lab (word) Click here for a link to the lab (PDF) 2) Here are the answers to the questions posted on Wednesday: Acids and Bases (Chapter 3 – Topic 3) 1. What is the pH of a neutral substance?  “Power of hydrogen” Since H+ is what makes something acidic 2. A solution has a pH of 11. Is the solution acidic, basic or neutral? Basic.  3. The pH of a solution increases. Is the solution becoming more or less acidic?  Less acidic 4. Complete the table below using the following terms: universal indicator, litmus paper, pH paper, pH meter. Technology Description Litmus paper A paper test that determines only if a compound is an acid or a base pH meter A device that can accurately determine the pH of a compound; it can be used for any pH between 0 and 13 pH paper A paper test that can determine the approximate pH of a compound, to the nearest whole number Universal Indicator A solution of chemicals that changes colour depending on pH; it can be used for any pH between 0 and 13 5. What are the two compounds produced by a neutralization reaction?  Water and salt 6. Red litmus paper turns blue and blue litmus paper stays blue. What type of compound is present?  Base 7. The city’s water supply has too low of a pH. What can you add to the water supply to increase the pH?  Acid

Environmental Chemistry	D2L: Chapter 3 - Topic 3
What should you do?	Please complete the following by Friday:  1)   Take Notes (posted below) 2)   Read + take additional notes: Science Focus 9, pages 197 – 211.  Key ideas: Acids, Bases, Indicator, Draw pH scale, Acid-Base Neutralization. 3)   Watch:  -      Introduction to pH -      Colorful Chemistry of Acids and Bases * Interested in trying this experiment at home?? Try making your very own universal indicator with red cabbage and test some of your household items! Let me know how it goes with an email! Click here for a link to the lab (word) Click here for a link to the lab (PDF) -      So, how do acids and bases relate to Environmental Chemistry? Acid-Base Reactions in Solutions 4)   Answer the following in your notes:  Acids and Bases (Chapter 3 – Topic 3) 1. What is the pH of a neutral substance?  2. A solution has a pH of 11. Is the solution acidic, basic or neutral?  3. The pH of a solution increases. Is the solution becoming more or less acidic?  4. Complete the table below using the following terms: universal indicator, litmus paper, pH paper, pH meter. Technology Description A paper test that determines only if a compound is an acid or a base A device that can accurately determine the pH of a compound; it can be used for any pH between 0 and 13 A paper test that can determine the approximate pH of a compound, to the nearest whole number A solution of chemicals that changes colour depending on pH; it can be used for any pH between 0 and 13 5. What are the two compounds produced by a neutralization reaction?  6. Red litmus paper turns blue and blue litmus paper stays blue. What type of compound is present?  7. The city’s water supply has too low of a pH. What can you add to the water supply to increase the pH?  (Answers will be posted on Friday) Acids and Bases Notes: Acids - Taste sour - Soluble in water.  - Gives off H+ (Hydrogen) ions in water - Has a pH less than 7 Examples:  - Phosphoric acid (fertilizers, detergents, pharmaceuticals, flavoring agent - tangy)  - Sulfuric acid (car battery, paints, dyes, oil and gas refining, synthetic textiles)  Neutral  - Substances are neither acidic nor basic - Has a pH of 7 Examples: - Water - Salts - Most cosmetics - Eye drops - Lotions Bases  - Tastes bitter - Reacts with acids - Soluble in water  - Gives off OH- (Hydroxide) ions in water - Has a pH greater than 7  Examples: - Sodium hydroxide (household cleaners, bleaching agent, solvent in making electronic circuit boards)  - Aluminum hydroxide (antacid tablets)  - Strong bases are sometimes called alkalis. pH is a measure of how many hydrogen ions are present (the concentration of hydrogen ions) in a solution. It means the “power of hydrogen.”

Identify an organism and describe why it may be considered to be a generalist species.  How does this benefit the organism? What is a Narrow Niche? Identify an organism and describe why it may be considered to be a specialist species.  How does this benefit the organism? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each Niche? How do you think adaptations relate to competition? Support your thoughts with examples and connect back to what you learned about niches.
