Math 7- Today the class worked on a problem sheet. This sheet is to be completed as homework. Science 8L-Today we worked on building vocabulary for our Waves, Tides and Currents unit. We also began brainstorming questions we want to know the answers to so that we can design our own experiment. Science 7L-We are learning the parts of the thermometer as well as how it works. We did a simulation where students acted as particles inside the thermometer as the temperature rose. For homework students are to finish quesions 1-7 on the worksheet- additional copies can be obtained from the teacher tomorrow in class. Science 8E2-We had some important discussions about the movement of water particles and their effect on climates. We watched a video on ocean currents on the French Brain Pop website and conducted a related experiment in class. The lab sheet is to be finished as homework.
