20.10.20 grade 7 – area of circles – 4.5

Grade 7’s – Your assignment is 4.5 #’s 1-7

Check out this video below that explains exactly how the formula for the area of circle was arrived at thousands of years ago (formula explained).

And here is a follow up lesson video on #4 as it often gives people a moment to figure out

20.01.20 gr 8 – surface area of a right triangular prism – 4.4

Grade 8’s – Your assignment is 4.4 #’s 4-10

Today the Grade 5-6 class will be working on creating 3d art out of 2d paper using only paper, ruler, pencil, and pencil crayons.

Follow the video below to try out a few shapes first.  Then watch the second video to see how to use this new skill to make your very own name in 3d.

Assignment: choose one or the other to finish to completion.

Students are going to prepare for a role-playing activity.  The assignment is to read through the material in the link below and complete the research on your role/character. Then, the next day, we are going to do some role-playing conversations to prepare ourselves to convince the Vizier that, as labourers, we need a pay raise to build the pyramids.

23.01.24 Ancient Egypt Role play activity

Tuesday: Prepare for the role

Wednesday: Practice conversations and planning of the argument

Thursday: Writing out our argument to the Vizier (persuasive writing)

For any students that are absent:  You will not be selected a role. Instead, you may role a dice to choose which row your role is, and then roll again for which job from left to right.  That way you will also receive a random role similar to those that were in class.

20.01.13 grade 7 – circumference of a circle – 4.2

Grade 7’s – Your assignment is 4.2 #’s 1-9

20.01.13 grade 8 – surface area of right rectangular prisms – 4.3

Grade 8’s – Your assignment is 4.3 #’s 4-10, 13, and 15

Here is the video for the Math Antics on Circumference and Area that you were asdked to do in the morning in the classroom.  The worksheets were distributed in class and on the Math page of Teams.

As part of our Science studies on optics; today we are watching The Mechanical Universe – Optics.  The worksheet will be distributed in class and is also available at the link below.  The video is also available below for anyone who is absent and needs access.

23.01.19 Optics the Mechanical Universe worksheet

As part of our current Science unit Optics we are watching Bill Nye – Optics.  The video is below as

well as the worksheet from class (goes along with the video).  Be sure to have this complete as there are likely to be some questions on the unit final related to this video (wink wink).

Today we are doing a mini lab experiment with a glass, water, and an arrow drawing (see the video below)

Please lay out your mini lab like the pic below.  Be sure that you have it complete up to your hypothesis prior to watching the video (it’s not a guess if you know what happened already).

Use this video once you have your hypothesis complete.
