Math and Science Homework Due Monday and Tuesday

Hello Grade 8's,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

This week in Science, we began to look into solutions and solubility as we continued to explore dissolving. On Wednesday we tried to separate three (not-so-secret) mixtures in a lab, experimenting with some of the methods discussed in class.

As promised, here are the components needed for your Mixture Separation Write Up which were shared in class today. These are due on Tuesday, October 8.

Mixture Separation Lab Write Up

Students who were away can email me at robadr@cbe.ab.ca. I will let you know what was in the three mixtures, and your task will be to explain how those mixtures could be separated using the separation techniques listed.

This week in Math, we began to look at how to calculate surface area for a rectangular prism (cuboid) and a triangular prism. Next week we will look at surface area of a pyramid.

The following worksheets were assigned and will be due for a homework check on Monday:

Rectangular Prism Worksheet
YOUR CHOICE of Triangular Prism Worksheet OR Triangular Prism 3D Net

If you choose the 3D Net, you are expected to measure the dimensions (length, width, base, height) and show all the steps you would need to do in order to calculate the surface area.

Students who were away can do these two assignments for homework.

This is not due on Monday, but those of you looking ahead can challenge yourselves by using what you know about surface area to find the surface area of pyramids.

Have a good weekend!

April 2 - Looking Ahead

Hello everyone! It's been wonderful to see that so many students are logging on to D2L! We've been noticing students looking at the Light and Optics slides and working on their writing prompts, so good work! Tomorrow, we are going to have our first Friday class meeting on Google Meet at 10am . An invite code will be sent to your webmail at 9:55am. It is expected that you attend - barring technical difficulties. This meeting will be a little bit longer than our usual meetings since we are still getting up and running. Two main topics we will cover in this meeting: Tutorial on how to submit assignments from Drive on D2L How to take the Practice Quiz (Tomorrow) and the Science Test (Monday) One question we had yesterday was about what Mrs. Thornborough is going to do with Band . We talked to her today and she said that she would set up a webpage with an optional weekly activity for Band students to do in order to further their learning and skills. This is NOT a cours...

Vision Impairment Presentations

Hello Grade 8's! We have a busy week with science as we lead up to Spring Break! HERE is the vision impairment research task that we started on today. HERE is the rubric that you will be marked on. Use both of these as a guide as you work on making effective and engaging presentations. Mr. Badr

The Pythagorean Theorem

Hello grade 8's! We are well underway into our pythagorean theorem unit. The Math Antics video watched in class today that outlines visuals and examples of the Pythagorean video is viewable right here . If you are looking for extra practice problems to prepare for the unit test, these printable sample questions will give you a very good idea of what could be on the test. UPCOMING DUE DATES: MATH Tuesday Dec. 3 - Pythagorean Theorem Worksheet Thursday Dec. 12 - Pythagorean Theorem Unit Test SCIENCE Tuesday Dec. 3 - In The News - Seabins Response Thursday Dec. 5 - Simple and Complex Machines Kahoot Quiz Friday Dec. 13 - Bring Supplies for Rube Goldberg Machine As always, homework help is available Mondays and Thursdays at lunch. Nobody showed up to homework help today. See you tomorrow! Mr. Badr
