The field trip for 7L1 and 7L2 to the maple sugar shack on that was planned for Tuesday (April 1st) will not take place today due to school closures because of weather. However, if you need another copy of the permission slip it was posted in the homework a few days back. Cost 5$ for the meal and taffy. When we do go, we will be outside most of the day (9am to 1pm) so please dress warm. We will be walking through the woods so students should wear winter boots. http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/teacher/note/red-7-field-trip-form

Math 7-Continue working on your mental math problems. We have a quiz on Friday on all the different ways to solve algebraic equations. Here are two little videos in French showing two solution methods, systematic attempts and algebra: http://www.showme.com/sh/?h=3jIJ6Tw and http://www.showme.com/sh/?h=qQkXtVA. Science 8L-Finish your "Convection de nouveau" lab sheet.

Math 7-We worked on algebra questions as well as started some word problems. Homework is on page 238 question #1. Science 7-Today we looked at how heat can be transfered among particles. No homework- enjoy the dance. Science 8L-Today we worked on creating a lab experience. The first page of the labsheet is to be completed by next class. Reminder to grade 7 students: on Monday please bring your signed permission form and 5$ for the sugar shack field trip.

Grade 7 Math-Attached below are the corrections for you worksheets so you can self-correct. Please ask questions in class tomorrow about any questions you may have struggled with. For any 8L students who will miss the March 28th class: Use the video (link below) provided to assist in the completion of the worksheet we started last class. Today's goal is to finish creating your own experiment. We will also look at making a hypothesis for an upcoming lab on "capacité thermique" (lab sheet attached below). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SciEeE5p23Q

Science 8E1/2-Today we did a lab to see how quickly and how much earth, air and water gain or lose heat. For homework we want students to come up with ideas, using what they saw happen in the lab, about how the sun's energy heats the earth, air and water on our planet. Does each substance get heated at the same rate? Why? Science 7L1-Today we learnt what the different parts of the thermometer are, how the liquid particle inside react when they are cold and hot, and how to properly take a thermometer reading. Each student was tested individually and was able to accurately measure the temperature of a sample of liquid. For homework please finish the thermometer worksheet (also available as a PDF online). Math 7L1-Today we started doing a weekly Monday quiz to practice mental math problems. Students will be bringing home a sheet for parents to quiz them twice weekly and sign off when completed. They will be asked to bring this sheet to class every Monday with their work attached. We also reviewed some common mistakes sudents make when using the algebra tiles or balance models to represent algebraic equations. If their worksheets 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 are not complete, please finish them.

Handouts have been given to students to help them review their mental math strategies at home with their parents. Students are asked to do this twice a week. Each Monday, we will check the table to see that it has been completed. Every Monday we will also have a mental math quiz in class. I will post from time to time some sample test (with answers) that parents can use with their child.Sample questions:
Halving and doubling
80 x 25 = 2000200 x 15 = 3000140 x 35 = 4900320 x 25 = 800020 x 75 = 1500
Rounding off a
subtraction question500-197= 303
400-192=208
900-399=501
800-196=604
300-198=102
Grouping multiplication numbers
5 x 13 x 20 = 1300
4 x 15 x 25 = 1500
2 x 24 x 50 = 2400
20 x 75 x 5 = 7500
25 x 81 x 4 = 8100
Dividing by ½ or 0.5
50 ÷ ½ = 100160 ÷ 0.5 = 320
1000 ÷ ½ = 2000
35 ÷ 0.5 = 70
700 ÷ ½ = 1400

Science 8 E1/E2-
Today we formally learnt about convection and brainstormed new, but related, scientific questions to continue exploring convection. Students should finish their hypothesis and 1 vocabulary word on their definition worksheet.
Science 7L2-
No homework.
Check out this really cool online article about the hottest temperature conceivable (optional): http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/absolute-hot.html. This stemmed from a great question one of our students had in class and it turns out to be a burning question physisists are currently researching.
Math 7-
Students should have their worksheets "Leçon 6.1: Résoudre des équations" AND "Leçon 6.3: Résoudre des équations qui comportent des nombres entiers" completed for tomorrow.

To review for the assessment at the end of the year, I am asking that students practice their mental math at home twice a week. Attached is a copy of the strategies and sample questions for parents to use. It is provided in English so that parents may help their child to study the strategies explained in class. Students should have this mental math packet at school each Monday. I will be checking them while students write a mental math quiz. Thank you for your cooperation.
