Week ending November 22, 2019

Math - Students have been learning how to calculate the volume of right rectangular prisms and cubes.
Students use the formula to calculate volume as Volume = length x width x height

Volume
the volume of this shape would be 10 units x 4 units x 5 units = 200 cubic units.
Students are working towards solving more complex problems around this topic, such as finding a missing dimension when a volume is given, comparing various prisms, and figuring out how many smaller prisms can fit inside a larger one.

Students are encouraged to regularly practice operational questions in addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Science - Students have begun to explore concepts in our Air and Aerodynamics unit beginning with the composition of our air. A poster presentation assignment is what they have spent the last week working towards, using class time to research information about the various gasses and their percentage in our air.

Air composition assignment

Students are being asked to complete these projects for Friday the 29th of November.
