Students, this is not the webpage for Mr. Collinson's current classes, this is old information put up for other teachers to view. I only update this file once a year, so it does not contain our information. Please go through the school webpage to get to our site.
Teachers, I have adapted my student webpage to contain information that you can use. I cannot post my tests, as students will undoubtedly find them here.

See our current unit for your current quizzes.

This week  (December 6th)

You will need to be familiar with the following words for your quiz.

1. Matter
2. Pure Substance
3. Mixture
4. Heterogeneous
5. Homogeneous
6. Solution
7. Solvent
8. Solute

Next week  (December 13th)

For your quiz, you are to list five rules/important reminders when using a microscope.

Next week  (December 20th)

Your quiz will be the following two questions:

1. State how temperature affects how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent, and state an example from our experiments (explain how it shows your point). {3 marks}

2. Name a liquid and a solid from our experiments that did not mix to form a homogeneous mixture. How do you know it was not homogeneous? {2 marks}

Next week  (January 17th)

On your quiz you will be asked to state the 5 points of the particle theory.

Here is the answer:

1. All matter is made of particles.
2. Pure substances are made of identical particles; no two pure substances are made of the same particles.
3. There is space between all particles.
4. Particles are always moving, the higher the temperature, the faster they move.
5. All particles are attracted to one another.

Next week  (January 24th)

Your quiz this week will again be based on the particle theory.

1. You will be asked to identify substances as “pure substances”, “heterogeneous”, or “homogeneous” based in drawings of groupings of particles.
2. You will be required to explain the reason for your answers.

Example:

Next week  (January 31st)

Your quiz this week will ask the following questions:

1. Why is water called the “universal solvent”? (1 mark)
2. Name two methods for removing salt from water. (2 marks)
3. Name two reasons why is it important for humans to know how to purify water? (2 marks)

Next week  (February 7th)

Your quiz this week will ask you to define dilute and saturated. You will also have to answer a math problem based on the concentration of a solution.

Next week  (February 14th)

Your quiz this week will ask you to discuss the importance of the knowledge of pure substances and mixtures as it relates to air purification, using fill in the blanks.

Next week  (February 21st)

No quiz, we will be starting our unit test.

Next week  (February 28th)

See our next unit for future quiz information.

Note:  Dates that assignments were assigned are approximate, as I teach three classes, and not on the same day.
