Today's schedule is:
9:15 - 11:50 B Block Legal Studies
12:30 - 3:05 C Block Social and Environmental Sciences
B Block Legal Studies -Today we will have a discussion in class about your rights that you have guaranteed through various legal documents in Canada (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms the Canadian Human Rights Act and the BC Human Rights Code a great BC Human Rights Code pdf/booklet can be found here). I'll have you back in partners to work through the Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys (2006) case on pages 41-42 of the All About Law text. After we discuss the case I'd like you and your partner to choose four of the items/statements/scenarios from the list below. If you need to, use your All About Law text and then we'll figure out whether or not Section 2 of the Charter covers the following...
Next, I'll have you work on questions 1-4 of the Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI Macdonald Corp., (2007) on page 44 in the text. This deals with whether limits imposed on tobacco manufacturers’ freedom of expression by provisions of Tobacco Act and Tobacco Products Information Regulations are justified (referring to Charter sections section 2.b Freedom of Expression and section 1 Reasonable Limits).
I'd also like you to work on question 3 from page 46 which deals with the R. v. Keegstra (1990) and R. v. Butler (1992) cases. For help with Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI Macdonald Corp., (2007) check out:

C Block Social & Environmental Sciences - In the first part of the morning, with Benton, you'll be looking at global images where we will compare the Oceans considering the variety of factors, comparing and contrasting Arctic, Temperate and Tropical. Ocean Primary Productivity will be a lens through which to analyse these variations and compare energy and ecological systems. Next we'll be in the Super Lab doing an examination of multi-cellular algae, (seaweed), samples in salt water through drawing key features and identifying. The extension will be to the depth ranges and habitats of primary producers in the ocean.
Chlorophyll A (predominant plant pigment) - absorbs blue 430nm and red at 662nm, saltwater absorption to blue wavelengths.

Arctic – low angle, algae growth > 45m
After break, with Young, we begin our look at the oceans

All You Need To Know About the World’s 5 Oceans
We'll look at wind driven ocean circulation, geostrophic flow, and gyres. This connects us to the tragedy of the commons and the great pacific garbage patch which we'll look at Thursday. So today...Wind, tides, and differences in temperature and salinity drive ocean currents. The ocean churns up different types of currents, such as eddies, whirlpools, or deep ocean currents. Larger, sustained currents—the Gulf Stream, for example—go by proper names. Taken together, these larger and more permanent currents make up the systems of currents known as gyres.
A gyre is another name for a swirling vortex. Ocean gyres are large swirling bodies of water that are often on the scale of a whole ocean basin or 1000’s of kilometers across (hundreds to thousands of miles across). Ocean gyres dominate the open ocean and represent the long-term average pattern of ocean surface currents.
Our activity today will be "Predicting the Patterns and Characteristics of Surface Ocean Currents" from the American Meteorological Maury Project.
