Grade 8 Science

The students continued to work on the questions in their booklet.  We have taken up various sections.  They should be done the Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency questions.  At this point they should be working through the textbook review questions.  This unit is very math driven and requires them to stay caught up and complete all the practice questions.  Extra help is available at lunch or after school.  There will be a test next week.  Due to a number of interruptions, I haven't set a firm date.  I am hoping once we take up all the questions the test can be mid to late next week.

On Wednesday February 5th, the students will showcase their hydraulic projects in the lunchroom all afternoon.  Various classes will be coming by and voting on the best design created.

Grade 7 Science

The students submitted their Paper Chromatography lab write up this week.  They were also asked to get their test signed.  They have started investigating solutions in further detail and they will be conducting a lab on the factors that affect the rate of dissolving next week.

Grade 6 Science

The students have continued to work on their Space project.  They will be given no more class time for their visual component.  The rest of their visual will need to be completed for homework.  They will be working on the third part of the assignment which is the written component/report next week in class.  They will be given time to work on a rough copy that will eventually need to be typed out.

Grade 8 Science

The students continued to present their hydraulic devices to me.  This past week, we took up their Work and Energy worksheets and questions.  They were asked to make sure their worksheets on Levers were completed.  We took them up in 8B.  We will be taking them up this week in 8A.  Both classes should have the Mechanical Advantage worksheets complete so they can be marked and taken up.
