Fire:
When there is a fire in the classroom or at home. Before you evacuate turn off and unplug all electrical appliances. This will make it harder for the fire to spread and cut off the heat source of the fire.
Burns:
If or when you burn yourself; make sure you run it under cool running water immediately. This is the fastest way to prevent blistering on the burn, it also makes it less painful.
Chemicals:
Chemicals that you use in the foods room should be stored separately from the food because they can get into the food and poison you. If the chemical spills or leaks into the food you might not notice and use it in a recipe or eat it. This will poison you.
Slips/ Trips/ Falls:
When working in a lab or kitchen, if you ever spill anything you have to clean it immediately or someone could slip on it. If you fall in a lab you could knock something over and spill it. You could also injure yourself.
)
Cuts:
If you have a cut on your hand, make sure you wrap it in a bandage before cooking. If you don’t wrap it, your cut could bleed or weep into the food you are cooking and infect it.
Heavy lifting:
Don’t lift anything that is too heavy for you. Only pick up what you can carry. You could drop it on yourself or others and injure them. You could also hurt your back trying to carry something that is too heavy. Get help with things really heavy.
How to prevent food poisoning:
Use bleach or other cleaning chemicals when cleaning supplies you used for raw meat. The chemicals will kill any bacteria left on the cutlery so it doesn’t spread to other food. If you cook and use the same materials, but you haven’t disinfected it. The bacteria will spread to your other foods and give you food poisoning.
Waste management:
During and after your lab make sure you dispose all of your waste into the proper bins. Make sure cans and bottles go into the recycling, paper towels and other food waste goes into the compost, and wrappers and other garbage goes into the garbage bins.
Personal hygiene:
Don’t cook when you are sick. If you cook while sick you will spread your disease through the food and infect anyone who eats it.

Each compound has a unique colour because; each element that was added to the fire have different properties.
1). Sate the problem of this experiment
How many pennies will fit ib our boat before it sinks?
2). State your hypothesis for this experiment
If we build a boat made out of straws, tinfoil, and craft sticks. Then it will hold 50 pennies because the boat will not be that strong.
3). How many pennies did your boat hold?
Our boat will held 73 pennies.
4). What was your thinking/ reasoning behind the design of your boat?
We thought that the deeper our boat was the more pennies it will hold. Our boat had high sides that were held up by craft sticks. Our boat also had the straws on the sides to help it float.
5) What would you keep/ change in your boat design if were to do this again
I would make your boat bigger and not as deep. The boats that covered more surface area did way better than the small deep boats
Credit Card Comparison
Planning 10
Mrs. Durand
Explain/define the following terms:
Credit –
Credit is when one party lends another party money. If the second party doesn’t pay them back within the deadline. They get interest.
Credit Card –
A credit card is a card that you get from your bank. This card lends you money. The credit card usually has a limit. At the end of the month you have to pay back all of the money that you borrowed. If you can’t then you are in debt. For every month that you don’t pay back your debt there is interest. If you do pay the company back on time you usually get rewards.
Annual Fee –
An annual fee is the fee that credit card companies charge you for having the card. This can range from $15- $500.
Interest Rate –
The interest rate is when you don’t pay back the full amount of money you borrowed. The money that you still need to pay back gathers interest. The interest usually ranges from 15- 30%.
Minimum Payment –
At the end of the month you have to make a minimum payment. You don’t have to pay back the full amount every month but you do have to make a minimum payment.
Grace Period –
Is a time when no interest is charged to your credit card.
Answer the following questions.
Why would a credit card company let you borrow money?
They let you borrow money because of interest. If you don’t pay them back all of the money at the end of the month. The money gains interest. You might end up paying twice the amount of money that you started out with. They make a lot of money when they do that.
What card do you prefer and why? Explain in multiple sentences your reasoning.
I want the BMO air miles world elite mastercard. I want this card because it has the best benefits and the interest is not any different. You get air miles and cash back. It costs a lot more than the other cards but I think that it is worth it.
What card do you NOT prefer and why? Explain in multiple sentences your reasoning.
I would not want the cash back mastercard. The card is free but the benefits are not that good. I would also prefer to go on trips with my benefits, which you can do with airmiles. You can also buy other things with airmiles.
I learned how the exponent laws:
Exponent laws are the rules you follow when you are adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing.
The first law is when you are multiplying two numbers with the same base, you add the exponents.
For example: 
x 
= 
The second law is when your dividing two numbers with the same base. You have to divide the exponents.
For example: 
– =
The third law is when you are multiplying two numbers by the same exponent. You have to expand out the question then multiply them both by the exponent.
For example:
Then you can expand
You can either leave it like that or keep expanding
6x6x8x8
You do the same with division
When you have two exponents one outside the bracket and one inside the bracket you multiply them.
For example:
How to find the LCM
Find the greatest common factor of the two numbers
112 and 700
GCF= 28
2. Divide one of the numbers by the GCF
112/28= 4
3. Multiply that number by the other number
(4)(700)= 2800
How to find the GCF
Write your numbers next to each other
144 132
2. Write a number that they are both divisible by underneath
144 132
2
3. Divide them
144 132
2
72 66
4. Keep going until you can’t go anymore
144 132
2
72 66
2
36 33
3
12 11
5. Multiply all of the numbers down the middle
(2)(2)(3)= 12
6. 12 is the greatest common factor
I like using the method that we did in class because it is easier to me.
Mutagen story
ADL
1.What happened to the gene?
Why did that happen?
What happened to the body?
How did it affect the body?
When do you know you have turner?
2.I used Google.
3.I found reliable sources that looked like their information was correct.
4.I copy and pasted the link
5. It was good. I wish I put in more detail.
Story of Turner Syndrome
I am a gene that lives in a female’s body. You see I am rare; I only exist 1 of 2,500 girls. My host Olivia was born with only one X chromosome, when she should have two. That’s what happened to her. No one knows why so many girls are born with only one X chromosome but it happens. Olivia was born like a normal girl but because of me she won’t be able to do lots of things that a girl can do.
Olivia didn’t know that she had turner syndrome until she was 12. Olivia was not going through puberty like most girls do at her age. Another sign was that she was really short and her parents are both really tall. Tons more signs were discovered in Olivia like droopy eyelids, dry eyes, low ears. There were multiple tests that she could go through but she chose an Ultrasound of reproductive organs and kidneys. The doctor told her that she was missing an X chromosome. In all girls you should have two XX chromosomes to be a girl. To be a boy you would have XY chromosomes. Only in some of her cells will Olivia be missing an X cell not all of them. So Olivia was missing a sex cell.
When Olivia was diagnosed she was given growth hormones to make her grow taller. They did help but she only reached the height of 4.7. Olivia also went through Estrogen replacement therapy. This pretty much just helps trigger puberty.
Olivia still went to school but had a lot of trouble in math, and reading maps. Olivia couldn’t really picture things in her mind she needed a visual right in front of her to be able to picture it again.
Olivia grew older and was not able to have kids because turner syndrome prevents her ovaries from growing properly. Her options were to either have a donor or adopt. Olivia adopted with her husband. Fortunately because of her infertility she was unable to pass down the gene of turner syndrome.

I really like learning about space. I think it is really cool how big it is. My favorite part about space is all the planets! https://www.nasa.gov
