Week ending Nov. 15, 2019

Math - Students are concluding their work around area and did practice with multiplication questions that involved 2 digit by 1 digit and 3 digit by 1 digit whole numbers. Students are encouraged to regularly review past topics in order to help them retain their understanding of the work done in class. Many review tools can be found through a general Google search or students can access some through the D2L link.

Students with a Calgary Public Library card can also access another supportive review tool as long as they know their PIN number by signing up through the following link:

We will be moving into work around volume and multiplication of 2 digit by 2 digit whole numbers.

Science - Students have completed their work on the Evidence and Investigation unit and will be moving into Air and Aerodynamics, starting with a project looking at the gas composition of the air that we breathe. The information for this project can be found here:

Air composition assignment

Students will be given a large amount of class time to research and work on this assignment but should be prepared to complete work outside of class time if necessary.

Moving forward we will be investigating the properties of air through demos and activities in class.

Information about these science topics can be found through the public library link mentioned in math above. Students would benefit from regular review of previous topics in order to help them retain their understanding.
