Math and Science for our grade 8 students

Posted: October 5, 2016

In math 8 today we looked at nets. Students cut out the nets to see how they can be folded to make 3-D objects.  We learnt the difference between prisms and pyramids.

In science we unpacked our new microscopes and learn how to bring objects into focus.   We had a lot of fun looking at bug legs, dog fleas, wings and skin cells.  Students were able to practice using the correct terms for the parts of a microscope and were also able to practice problem solving as they helped each other to learn how to bring each specimen into focus.  We are looking forward to many more afternoons together in the science lab learning from each other.
