Grade 8 FI STEAM challenge:
Science 8
-Today we worked as a class to complete the district STEAM challenge. We build a way to turn off the lights. It was good to see students observing and problem solving when it did not work. Good discussion was had as students gave their opinions of what needed to be modified to make it work. Bravo!

-Students need to memorize perfect squares up to 144, but is is recommended to know them up to 400 in order to make the work easier.
-Students should also be reviewing how to find primary factors using the division method. This is used to find the square root of a large number without a calculator.
-Students must have a calculator for each class.
-p. 30 Q 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11
-Duotang of marked work should be returned signed.

-We did a group review and discussed the differences between what will be asked on the grade 6 and the grade 7 test. Students decided that they are ready for the test tomorrow.
Math 6
-Formative test passed back. Corrections are posted below. Test is tomorrow. These test do not count and are done before the student studies. The scores are usually low. Use them to help identify where you know the material and where you should review for the test. The great thing about math is the only changes will be the numbers for the real test. Make sure you understand what is being asked of you. Also make sure you are showing your work.
Science 7
-Notes posted below on solubility and reading information from a table.
-Students were to write the variables, testable question, hypothesis and procedure for the lab we will do next week. This is due next class. (Monday)
Science 6
-We went over variables, testable question, hypothesis, tables and graphs.
-Time was given to continue work on the graph Ms. Arsenault gave them last class.
