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!

Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism and Solubility Definitions

Hello Grade 8's! Here are the notes that were written on the board today. Steps for calculating the surface area of a rectangular prism and a cube: Definitions related to solubility: Make sure you have these in your math/science books. I'll see you tomorrow when we have a mixture separation lab! Mr. Badr

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
