Math 7-We practiced our mental math today. Students received graded work and a print off showing what assignments have been marked and what needs to be handed in. Please work tonight to catch up on missed homework and come in for help if there are parts you are struggling with. Unit Test on algebra is this Friday, April 25th. Science 8-We discussed the Erosion Multi-media Project due this week, and looked at techtonic plate movement. 8E1- Due April 248E2- Due April 248L- Due April 25 Science 7L1-Today we determined how people could use potential results of an invented scientific experiment to benefit their daily lives. Students were looking at which surfaces absorb the most heat. No homework. 

Science 8Multi-media Erosion Project due: 8E1- April 248E2- April 248L- April 25 8E2- Half page on the relationships between erosion, tides and waves  Science 77L1- Finish 4 images showing radiating heat hitting a rough, smooth, black, and white surface       - Quiz on heat April 247L2- Finish graph started in class       - Quiz on heat April 25 Math 7Bring signed mental math pages to school TuesdayStudy for Algebra unit test April 25th

Science 8EFor 8E1 a one-page summary page is to be handed in tomorrow before the class writes the quiz. Each class class has an electronic presentation due on April 24th about erosion. Today we looked at erosion, deposition and how coastal features are formed. Science 7Please finish the thermometer lab sheet (includes 6 questions and a self-evaluation). We will have a quiz on April 24th on the material shown in the attached document (in the document section of the website) called Heat Review. The French Brain Pop video gives a good review of this: http://www.brainpop.fr/sciencesdelaterre/energie/chaleurettemperature/. Today we worked on reviewing material. Math 7L1We had our Monday Mental Math Quiz today and continued working on algebra equations. Please verify 3 algebraic equations using the method shown in class. Math 7L2We had our Monday Mental Math Quiz today and continued working on algebra equations. Finish the 3 questions using algebraic tiles.  

Math 7L1We started 2 different assignments today; one includes three drawings demonstrating the use of algebraic tiles to solve algebraic equations and the other asks students to demonstrate how to verify answers by substituting the answer into the equaion. The algebra tiles assignment is due tomorrow and the verification assignment is due Monday April 14th.  Math 7L2Students enjoyed playing a game where they had to write a numeric equation with a variable from the given word problem. We also reviewed using traditional algebra to solve equations with unknowns. Homework is to complete three algebraic questions using the traditional written method. Science 8LToday we had a quiz on ocean currents and convection. Homework for Tuesday April 15th is to create a detailed review page on the concepts learned up to date in this unit. This video offers a great review: http://www.brainpop.fr/sciencesdelaterre/planeteterre/courantsoceaniques/ Science 7L1Today students worked collaboratively to answer questions related to our last lab experiment. Homework is to begin and attempt completion of the 6 questions on the lab sheet, and to come to school tomorrow with clarification questions for the parts not understood. Science 8E2Today we had a quiz on ocean currents and convection. Students must get their corrected convection lab signed by a parent/guardian and complete their "earth, air, water" lab including the graph. Homework for Monday April 14th is to create a detailed review page on the concepts learned up to date in this unit. This video offers a great review: http://www.brainpop.fr/sciencesdelaterre/planeteterre/courantsoceaniques/

Science 8LToday we finished creating insturctions for a science experiment about currents and convection. We also reviewed the last lab about ice cubes and the concepts for our quiz. For students who have not finished this sheet is for homework as well as bringing back the signed convection lab. Please study for your quiz next class.  Math 7L1No homework. Today we had our math quiz on different types of algebra solution methods. Science 7L1No homework. We had a lab today where we explored Galileo's thermoscope, different kinds of thermometers, and how they all work. Math 7L2Today we looked at all 5 solution methods available to solve algebra questions. Homework is studying for the quiz next class. Science 7L2We reviewed major concepts from our temperature unit. Homework is to invent a question that you would see on a quiz and give the answer on a sheet is to be handed in next class.

Science 8E1 & 8E2Today we reviewed the first convection lab we did. Students are to get their graded labs signed by a parent/guardian and read assigned sections of the text. We will have a quiz on ocean currents, convection and climate change on April 9 (8E1) and April 10 (8E2). Math 7L1 (7L2 had no class due to school handball game)Today we continued working on algebraic word problems. Finish page 239 #2 (a or b or c), 3, and 6. Study for the quiz and keep doing your mental math. Bring in your signed mental math sheets on Monday. Science 7L2Today we leant about a new high tech thermometer, current jobs where employees use thermometers, and how trial and error resulted in the advancement of heat measruing devices. Students should finish the entire lab sheet including the 6 questions on the page.
