Homework April 15th

Science 8L-The class wrote a quiz and were introduced to an erosion projet to be completed electronically. Multi-media project due April 24th. Math 7L1- The class worked on reviewing concepts learnt earlier this year in order to start reviewing for final exams. No homework. Science 7L1-The class explored how different textures and colours absorb radiating heat. Please finish your four drawings showing how white/black/rough/smooth textures absorb or reflect radiating heat. Math 7L2-The class focused on verifying their algebra answers; this was a skill that many students struggled with on the algebra quiz. Please finish your three verifications. Science 7L2Today was spent reviewing some concepts to prepare students for the heat quiz that will be next week. No homework.

Homework April 14th 2014

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.

Homework April 11th

8 Science-Please create a full page quality review sheet of our everything we have seen in this unit; this is due Monday for 8E1 and 8E2, and Tuesday for 8L. We will have a quiz on the aforementioned dates on that material. I have posted under documents the Convection (ice cube) lab sheet. 7 Math-Please bring your signed mental math booklet on Monday as well as your signed algebra quiz. 7L2 please finish one correctly and fully completed solution by drawing algebraic tiles. 7L1 please complete 3 verifications. 7 Science-We had fantastic scienctific discusions today. I am really impressed with quality of questions being asked in class. Please finish your 4 sketches showing a radiation source, radition itself and what happens at the surface of a black, white, rough, and smooth surface. If your drawings need labels to make things clear please add them.

Homework April 10th

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.

Homework April 9h 2014

Science 8E1Today we had a quiz about convection and ocean currents. We started dicussing the concept of erosion. Homework is to get a parent/guardian signature on the convection lab sheet and to finish the earth, air, water lab sheet. Science 7L2Today we reviewed concepts students should know for the upcoming quiz. Expect an additional study aid video will be posted to the website by the end of the week. Students also made a prediction about what materials would best absorb heat, explained how their potential results could affect the world, and determined how to begin testing their prediction. No homework. Math 7L2Today we had an algera quiz. No homework. Math 7L1We practiced multiplying and solving algebra word problems. Homework is to use written/traditional algebra, showing each step, to solve 3 problems of your choice. Science 8LIn class we spent some time showing how to create a line graph with our lab results. We began disucssions about how tides work. Homework is to complete the earth, air water lab including the line graph of the results.
