'Keep it Together' Emulsifying Agents Lab write-up to be typed into a Google Doc
Share with your Science Teacher(s). jkatwal@educbe.ca &/or syperritt@educbe.ca
Ensure you include in a well formatted document:
- Title
- Hypothesis
- Include identification of manipulated, responding and controlled variables in the lab
- Materials List
- Reference to Procedure
- Results Section
- Data Table with detailed observations
- Analysis Questions - Questions #1-3, Page 98 with supporting evidence from observations.
Conclusion
- Monoglycerides, like Lecithin, and surfactants are often used as ingredients to emulsify liquids. Research what they are? Where are they used? How do they work? Where do we get them from? Find examples of other common emulsifiers and give examples of products from the food industry, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or cleaners to support your research.
- Use your research to write a detailed conclusion about what you learned from this lab. Be sure to connect your research to your results and talk about your original hypothesis.
- SHOW ME WHAT YOU KNOW!!!

Touching Spirit Bear
We have finished reading our novel, Touching Spirit Bear. Today we began work on the following journaling task:
6. Cole attempts
to carve the bottom of the totem pole several times in this chapter, but cannot
find an appropriate symbol for him getting over his anger. What do you think
Cole should carve?
Cole carved certain
animals that represent how he felt and what he has learned while on the island. What kind of animal(s)
would you carve if you had to describe how you are feeling right now or what
life lessons you have learned up to this point in your journey? Draw your visual on a
journal page and write a brief explanation of why you chose a specific
animal(s). Think about Cole’s story and his journey…he has done a lot of
thinking and looking deeply at who he is. Be thoughtful and truthful to your
journey and your story. One whole journal
page…colours, shading, highlights…whatever you feel would best represent you.
Also, many students did not complete and/or hand in reader response questions related to Chapter 24, 25 and 26... these must be completed (in journals or on paper) and handed in by Thursday.
Clear, succinct answers to show your understanding of the novel are required and when suitable, provide an example or evidence from the novel to support your answer.
TOUCHING SPIRIT BEAR - Chapter 24 questions
1. What does Cole
note about being angry at the opening of the chapter?
2. Cole learns
that if he cannot help the person he wronged, he should then help somebody
else. What does he correctly speculate about Edwin and Garvey?
3. Cole spots the
Spirit Bear every few days now. What does this indicate about the change in
Cole?
4. When Cole
starts thinking about his return to Minneapolis, what is he concerned about?
Why is this unusual?
5. Peter twice
attempts to commit suicide, and Cole believes the answer to Peter’s problems is
to have him spend time on the island. Why does Cole think this is a good idea,
and do you think that it will work?
TOUCHING SPIRIT
BEAR - Chapter 25 questions
1. What is Cole’s
idea to cure Peter’s depression? How does Edwin react to this suggestion?
2. Do you think
it is a good idea for Peter to visit the island? Why or why not?
3. About two
weeks after Cole’s suggestion, who arrives on the island?
4. Peter blurts
“Leave me alone. I don’t want your help!” to Cole. How is this situation
similar to Cole’s initial feelings about Garvey and Edwin? How is it different?
TOUCHING SPIRIT
BEAR - Chapter 26 questions
1. Peter does not
want to sleep in the cabin with Cole. What arrangements are made for Cole’s
living quarters while Peter is on the island?
2. Do you think
that Edwin purposely brought a leaky tent? Why or why not?
3. Peter shows
some signs of embracing Cole’s island practices. What are these?
4. Why do you
think Peter threw the rock at Cole and later tossed him into the water?

February 25: Pink Shirt Day
PINK SHIRT DAY BACKGROUND:
Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet. Over the month of February, CKNW we will be helping raise awareness on these issues and the guests will hopefully give us all the tools needed to stand up against bullies and step in when we see it happening.
Then on February 25, 2015 we encourage all of you to wear a CKNW Orphans’ Fund Official Pink Shirt or pin to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere. We wish we could take credit for this idea but it comes from two incredible Nova Scotia high school students. Here is a snippet of the Globe & Mail article which inspired us:
“David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied [for wearing a pink shirt]…[They] took a stand against bullying when they protested against the harassment of a new Grade 9 student by distributing pink T-shirts to all the boys in their school.
‘I learned that two people can come up with an idea, run with it, and it can do wonders,’ says Mr. Price, 17, who organized the pink protest. ‘Finally, someone stood up for a weaker kid.’
So Mr. Shepherd and some other headed off to a discount store and bought 50 pink tank tops. They sent out message to schoolmates that night, and the next morning they hauled the shirts to school in a plastic bag.
As they stood in the foyer handing out the shirts, the bullied boy walked in. His face spoke volumes. ‘It looked like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders,’ Mr. Price recalled.
The bullies were never heard from again.”
Will you join in by wearing pink on February 25th?
