pH and Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams

The students saw an interesting Demo today showing Nature's natural ability to determine acids and bases.  The famous Red Cabbage Juice pH demo was successful and the students learned the basics of the pH scale.

We continue to work on Atomic Structure.  Today we expanded on our Model of the Atom understanding and got right into drawing Bohr-Rutherford diagrams.  This is a big learning expectation for the unit and students need to be completing all work for homework and reviewing nightly to ensure understanding of these important concepts.  The unit progresses quickly, and we build knowledge into tougher upcoming concepts.

Tomorrow is Take your Grade 9 Kid to work day.  I expect all students to be out there in the real work being inspired.
