Have a good weekend!

Oct 29th Math & Science

Hope you had a great afternoon with Ms. Speciale!

Please work through and finish your viscosity tasks...they are due tomorrow and you will have a quiz on viscosity.

Oct 27/14 Math & Science

Math HW p. 202-203 #4-9, 12, 16, 17

Please work through your Science in your journals...due Thursday please...be ready for a quiz on viscosity on Thursday.

Science 8:  Viscosity

Please complete the following tasks in your Science journal.  You will have a quiz on Thursday on viscosity.  Please ensure that your work is neat, complete, organized, supported with detail, and in order.

1.       Watch the Pitch Test video…take a few jot notes.

2.       Create a visual journal page for the words viscosity, viscous, flow rate.  Include definitions, diagrams, examples.  Use each word in a sentence.

3.       Complete Determining Flow Rate Demo…we will do this as a class on Tuesday.  Calculate flow rate for each liquid.

4.       Take some notes from your textbook from p. 45-49.  Pay close attention to:

Product performance                                    viscosity of liquids & temperature

Viscosity of gases & temperature             superfluids

5.       How does temperature affect the flow rate of liquids?  Explain using particles.

6.       How does temperature affect the viscosity of gasses?  Try your best to explain using particles.

7.       Read Investigation 1-G Flowing Fluid Floods City.  Answer questions #1-4.

8.       How are viscosity, the size and shape of particles, and internal friction related?

9.       Asphalt is the black, sticky material that binds gravel in the pavement that covers streets and highways.  Explain why paving is almost always done during the summer months.

10.   The lower the SAE (10,20,30,40,50) grade of oil, the faster the flow rate of the oil.  Explain which type of oil you should use in a car engine in the summer.  Explain why you chose this grade of oil.  Explain which type of oil you should use in a car engine in the winter.  Explain why you chose this grade of oil.  Remember to connect your responses to particles!!

Humanities

This term we have been looking at worldview and specifically the worldview of the people in the middle ages.  You have just handed in an essay analysing the elements of worldview that are accurate in the movie, Ever After.  Today you compared and contrasted Ebola and The Black Death in a venn diagram.  This is due tomorrow.  Your test for the middle ages (Chapter 1)  is on  Thursday, October 30th.  Be sure to review your journals, binders and read chapter 1 in the textbook to help you to prepare for the test.
Enjoy your evening!!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Great work in Science

Hi Everybody,

Great work on your Science assessment today!!

Please make sure that you have completed the Fraction Check Up for Monday.  You are my double drop class tomorrow so have a great weekend.

Please ensure that you are organizing both of your journals--this is ongoing work.  Thanks.

Take care.

Oct 22--Math & Science

I have posted our SMART review notes in D2L for our assessment tomorrow.  Please prioritize your Science studying tonight.

Finish your Math over the weekend as our test will take the double and you are my double drop on Friday.

Take care.

Math & Science Oct 21/14

Sorry for the late post...technical difficulties!!

Science assessment on Thursday (will need the double)...outline will be given out tomorrow in class.

Great work on your fraction intro stations today.

If you have not handed in your Science journals, I need them on Thursday please.  Integer journals should be handed in for Student Led Conferences.

Oct 20/14 Math & Science

Great work today on the separation labs--please continue to revisit these responses and continue to make them better as we learn more each day.

Please ensure that your review sheet is complete for tomorrow.  On the back of the review sheet, please answer p. 23 #3 a-d, p. 26 #1, 7, 11.

Mid unit assessment for Science is scheduled for Thursday.  It will take the double.

Fractions unit starts tomorrow...please ensure that you have a new journal for this new unit (if you haven't handed one in to me, please bring one from home.)

Take care.

Checking In

Hi Everybody,

I hope you all get some rest today after your homeroom Dare To Care workshop.

Your math assessment will take the double tomorrow...bring your calculator, red/blue pencil crayons, pencils.

I would like you to hand in your Math journals after the exam as well your solubility graph assignment.  Thank you.

Math Assessment on Thursday

Hi Everybody,

Great work today in class with BEDMAS...wow, I was impressed!  Please log into D2L to find the answer keys for the reviews you received today.

Math Integers Assessment on Thursday (it will take you the double period)...I will be collecting your integer journals so your adults can see them at student-led conferences.  On Thursday, please also hand in your solubility curves if you have not done so already.  Thank you!

Take care & I will be thinking of you tomorrow afternoon.  Remember, I am in Study Stop Wednesday after school if you need me.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you all work hard tomorrow for Mr. Hall and Mrs. Martin.  You need to get through your Math Review and get your solubility graphs done so you don't have homework for the long weekend.

Take care & see you on Tuesday.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Oct 8/14

Please make sure that your Solubility Lab analysis questions are ready to go for tomorrow.  Please make sure that you have watched the video that I linked to our blog yesterday--thanks.

Just a wee Science class tomorrow...our focus will be on Math.

Please try your best to share the message of our assembly with your adults tonight.

Enjoy the evening...see you tomorrow.

Please watch the solubility curve video from today's lesson.

Please go back to your Solubility Labs and rework your analysis questions after our class discussion today.

Science journals are coming in for assessment this week a few each day so it is manageable.  Please ensure that your journals are up-to-date, organized, complete, and easy to read.

Take care.

Happy Friday!

Another great class today.

Thank you for finishing your Solubility Stations for Monday...see attachment on D2L from yesterday's post if you need it.

Please ensure that you go through your responses and pep up your work to the best of your ability.  Ensure that all your responses bring it back to what is happening with the particles.

For Math...awesome work on division of integers...I thought you made some fantastic connections today.
