What We Learned Today...May 27th

Testing out the effects of heat on copper wire!

Track Meet: This morning we were missing a large portion of our class who were competing in the Track and Field meet at Douglas park.  As a result, the students who who remained at school were given the morning to work on their Genius Hour final projects as well as any other homework they have.

Fully Alive: After lunch we continued to work our way through our Fully Alive unit by learning about the affect Hormones can have on the mood of a person going through puberty.  We also discussed the different areas that can cause stress in a young adults life and different strategies to cope with it.

Grade 8 Math: At the beginning of class we briefly went through the main ideas for 10.4 as the video was not working last night.  (Someone may have forgot to upload it to youtube!)  Students then had the remainder of the period to work on their 10.3 assignments as well as their new 10.4 assignments.

Science: During the last hour of the day we finally got around to testing out our heat experiment on copper wire.  Students were tasked with identifying the effects that heat has on a copper wire holding a one gram weight. Check out some of our pictures from today below:
