Greta Thunberg Speaking at the Climate Action Summit

Hello, Grade 8's! Here is the video of Greta Thunberg speaking at the Climate Action Summit that we watched in class today.


A reminder to 8-2 for those who did not finish their responses to the prompts in class, they are for homework to be finished by Monday. The writing prompts you need to respond to are:
  • Where will you be in 8 years when we are 6 months away from the end of our Carbon Budget? What will your world look like?
  • What are your thoughts on the video?
  • Many politicians are challenging her and saying she’s making wild accusations. Do you feel her message is valid?
Here are a couple other videos of Greta we think are worth watching:

Shared by a student, Greta's message to the public:

Also for 8-2, your data table of the Bottle Flipping Challenge, along with a conclusion of your findings (Which amount of water yielded the highest probability of success? 1/4 full, 1/2 full or 3/4 full?) is to be completed for homework by Monday. You can set your table up as follows.

Update: Friday Nov 8

Hi friends, As you know, Edict responses were due today ! You were meant to have submitted hard copy versions (handwritten/typed) into your corresponding class' drop box (up near SmartBoard). Today was the second opportunity you had to work on your written rationales for the Exhibit artifacts. Remember, EACH STUDENT is required to submit an informative piece of text along with the build, your blueprints, and any other planning documents you may have. I have provided you with some very specific prompts -- please refer your class' Share Folder for this task. You should also be working on your Hockey Hero task, as I will be looking for this to be completed by Weds, Nov 13. Please come chat to me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns :) Happy weekend folks. -Mrs. Lockyer
