HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Here are a few holiday videos for some fun experiments...
Today we had our vision disorder presentations and then finished off with some Science Fair time. Have a great weekend and don't forget that we have our Chapter 6 test Monday. Today we wrote our quiz on the eye and we had a good chunk of time dedicated to our vision disorder projects and the science fair. Vision projects will be presented tomorrow.
*** Chapter 6 test Monday Dissection day!!! Today we got to dissect a sheep's eye ball, work on our vision disorder projects and we also watched a documentary on a boy who clicks to use echolocation to help him see (The Boys Who Can See Without Eyes). *** Quiz on the parts and functions of the eyeball tomorrow. *** Chapter 6 open book and notes test Monday Today we had a day to work on our projects and then we researched the different technologies from 6-2 and presented them to the class. Wednesday we dissect the eye and Thursday we have a quiz on 6-1 (the parts and functions of the eye).
- Chapter 6 test will be open book and notes and will take place Monday! Today we jumped into Chapter 6 on vision. We had a look at a variety of eye/vision disorders and started our research projects on them (see Google Classroom for assignment). We also tried out some vision disorder goggles and looked at the parts and functions of our eye. We will be doing an eye dissection this Wednesday and we have a quiz Thursday based on today's notes. More science fair work today and we wrote out Chapter 4 & 5 test. Next week we will take a look at vision! Have a great long weekend!!
Bill Nye Light and colour video, followed by review, science fair and CCSA time. *** Chp 4 & 5 test tomorrow. :)
Today was a big review day for our Chapter 4&5 test Thursday. We spent time going over both chapters, did a cross-word to help with vocab and write out Chapter 5 quiz. We also had time to work on questions from the text (pages in the image below) and we tried to complete 2 of our Core Competency Self Assessment slides.
Today we had a light lab exploring how light works with different lenses and mirrors. Our 'A' block then worked on review questions from the textbook for Chap 5, while the students in block 'B' wrote their Non-Fiction Reading Assessments.
Review Qs: p. 181 - #1-7, 10 p. 189 - #1-4, 6-8 p. 199 - # (All) *** Quiz on Chapter 5 tomorrow and Chapter 4&5 combined test is Thursday. Happy Friday!!! Today we spent the first part of class reviewing the new material from Chapter 5 covered yesterday with our TOC. We looked at transparent, translucent and opaque substances and how shadows work. We then wrapped up Chapter 5 while playing with lenses and mirrors. We will have a lab to explore these concepts further Monday and then a quiz to check for understanding Tuesday and our Chapter 4&5 test Thursday before the long weekend!
