Math 8L1-We started our new unit on geometry.   We learnt new vocabulary.   -We reviewed the grade 7 geometry unit from last year.   Students have a worksheet to complete.  Finding area of triangles, rectangles and circles.  Students also need to be able to find the circumference of a circle (same thing as the perimeter of a circle).-Tomorrow we will work  finding the surface area of 3D objects. Math 8L2-We looked at the nets for 3D objects.    We discussed how this material could be asked on an assessment.-We began to work on questions in the book and will finish them in class tomorrow.-notes posted below. Science 8E2 and 8E1-We finished our refraction lab write up.  We discussed how conclusions should mention the observations of the experiment.  Conclusions should also include the theory in the lab.  Key scientific terms should be used in the conclusion.-We also learnt how to tell which medium is the most dense from refraction diagrams.  See notes below.   Students need a pencil and math set for each class.-District assessment will start June 1st.
