| Scientists in the Schools came in for an interactive workshop on how the MIND works (PERCEPTION and the BRAIN) |
Grade 7 Discoveries -
The grade 7 students will be holding their Oil Spill Conference this coming Thursday. They have been working very hard on studying the effects of either the Husky Oil Spill in Alberta, and the BP Oil Spill in the States.
Students have learned about how poster conferences are conducted in the academic community, as well as how a research poster must be constructed in order to be effective and professional.
Thank you to all families who have supported their child in the research process. Stay tuned to find out how our poster conference turns out!
WHAT'S NEXT?
Students will discover the properties of SOLUTIONS and MIXTURES through lab activities, connecting their observations with more complex applications found in chemistry.
Grade 8 Discoveries -
The grade 8s have completed their study on the plant and animal cell and moved on to studying OSMOSIS (the movement of water in and out of cells).
 |
| The salt water pulled the water out of the potato to reach EQUILIBRIUM in solvent concentration. |
 |
| Making QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE OBSERVATIONS through completing a lab report. High school, here we come! |
FLUIDS -
The grade 8s have moved on to studying FLUIDS. Through this unit, they have learned how to make notes effectively (a necessary skill for high school, college, and university) through an open-book quiz.
Students will be studying VOLUME, BUOYANCY, VISCOSITY, and DENSITY, and how they are all related through a number of labs and demonstrations.
