Week 36 - Countdown is on!

June 2, 2015

We only have 3 weeks of classes and 1 week of exams until summer!!!

Math 9
We have started our LAST unit on probability.  I have planned many hands on classes with the students and am very excited about their response.  I have even developed a "Deal or No Deal" probability game that will be played on Wednesday, June 10, 2015.

This week:  We will begin with watching a "Bill Nye" video on probability.  I will review definitions with the students including the difference between theoretical, experimental and subjective probability.  We will also learn about odds and bias.  We will learn how to create a survey with a sample of the population. (So don't be surprised if they ask you their survey question)

Science 8
We will conclude our water systems unit on Wednesday June 3, 2015 and have the test on Exam week.  On Friday, June 5, 2015 and Tuesday, June 9, we will complete our boat prototypes so we can head to the boat races on Friday, June 12, 2015.  (I will be sending field trip forms this week)

Coming up:  We are heading to Pike Lake on June 15, 2015 where we will swim and have a session with a naturalist about water.  Review of material will take place on June 17 and June 19.

Science 7 
Today, we learned about building mountains. We had a hands on experiment with playdoh, wooden blocks and a bar clamp.  We will learn about rock classification on Thursday, June 4 and potash on Monday, June 8, 2015.  The remaining classes will be time to work on their FINAL PROJECT that will be done in place of a final.  Presentations will take place during Exam Week.
