Class 7/8A Science:
Well done today! You need to hand in 1 experiment per group/pair for Chapter 2, Lesson 3,
Questions 1 - 4, and
Questions 5 - 7, together.

For Homework: do
Take it Further Questions 8, 9 and 10 INDIVIDUALLY. Due ON THE CLOUD by Monday.

7/8A Advisory:
Please keep a journal for six days. Record:

Hours of sleep:

Diet:  All food eaten

Focus: time of day (for 5 mins)

Exercise:

See you next Advisory period!

Science 7D:
Please hand in your chart and Questions 1, 2 and 3 of the Evaporation Experiment. One per group is fine! And, no, you do not need to set it up as an experiment; just the chart and questions is fine.

Monday, Mar. 20, 13. classes 7/8A, 7B and 7C

Language 7/8A:
Grade 7's: please have 4 Everyday Edits done, either written or typed and handed in to me by Friday.
Grade 8's: please have 6 Everyday Edits done, either written or typed and handed in to me by Friday.
Both grades: please have the animal analogies handed in online only - shared with me by Friday.

Also - Scott and Sarah - you are on for Advisory on Wednesday!!!

Science Classes 7B and 7C:
Evaporation Experiment: Please make sure to hand in your data chart and the answers to Questions 1, 2 and 3 by Thursday.

Make up Science Class: will be Wednesday, 2nd Nutrition Break. Please come if you have any questions, want to work on missed assignments, etc. See you then!

Friday, March 8, 13. Class 8D:

Class 8D: Fluids Assignment: Due by next Period (March 22nd)
A.  Page 91 Q. 5
Research the importance of air resistance in your favourite high-speed sport. Use the particle theory, laminar flow and turbulent flow to help explain what is happening. Include a minimum of 1 diagram to show drag, aerodymanic shapes, etc.

B. Page 93 Questions 5 
Plan an experiment to help you rank the following fluids in order, from least viscous to most viscous: shampoo, melted chocolate, cooking oil, air and cola.

Write up as an experiment using our Scientific Method Outline. Be ready to do it next period and show your work.

Thurs/Mar/7 Classes: 7/8A and 8B

DO NOT do Questions 5 and 6 for homework. BUT, be ready to answer questions about evaporation, kinetic energy and conduction when you get back.

I think Classes 8C and 8B took some smart pills... What is going on?!?!?

Wed/Mar/6 Class 7D

Class 7D Science:
NO homework for the March Break, but be READY TO WORK HARD when you come back!
Enjoy!

Tuesday, March 5, 13

Class 8C Science:
Put one hand on wood and another on metal.
1. Do these surfaces feel the same temperature?
2. Would these surfaces be the same temperature if you measured with a thermometer?
3. Why do they feel different? Use Heat Conduction and Kinetic Energy in your answers.

ALSO:

Biggest Gummy Bear so far - weighing in at 63.7grams, belonged to Sheldon Kerr!!! Well done, Sheldon!!

7/8A Advisory!! Don't forget...

Next day two is Advisory and you all owe me your good copy mind maps and your If/Then Charts. Thank you!

Monday, March 4, 13

Classes 7B and 7C Science:

Well done today ladies and gentlemen!! Your homework is the Experiment questions. Here is the link to the questions:

Conduction Experiment Notes and Questions

You were also given the Gummy Bear Experiment! This experiment is to be done at home. It is due March 22nd. That gives you tons of time! You have a choice: You may do the answers to the questions right on the sheets I gave to you, or, you may write it up as an experiment, following the Scientific Method Steps. Here is the Gummy Bear Experiment:

Observing Osmosis - The Gummy Bear Experiment
