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:

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.

A Final Message Before The Break

Hello 8's! We both just wanted to send out a final message. Since next week is spring break, we won't be receiving or replying to messages until Sunday, March 29. We have all been working hard over the past few months, so we encourage you to step away and relax. As we mentioned in our post from Monday, this past week was still a school week - albeit from home - but you are now officially on spring break.
