As a class we watched he following videos and then had many good class discussions while finishing the notes from yesterday. For homework, please brainstorm ideas for your earth layers project on Thursday! Please bring some rocks to school with you for your crust too! Today was the start of a new unit - earth science! What is earth science? What do earthquakes, tsunamis, ocean trenches and volcanoes have in common?! How do we see movement of tectonic plates around us locally? What are the names of mountains globally and locally? We watched these videos, did group white boarding to answer the questions above, went outside and named all of the mountains we could see, and then took some notes. The class started off with a verbal reading of page 224 and then watched this short video on laser eye surgery... Next, they explored telescopes, binoculars, cameras, glasses and microscopes. There was a small drawing assignment done in class and then questions 1-8 on page 223 were worked on. Please finish questions 1-8 for homework if you did not complete them in class! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-YkzgfgN2k The class started off with an attendance question and then did a debate about dissections. Then, we did the sheep eye dissection on page 212-213 in the textbook and watched this video... we also answered the analyze questions 1-3 on page 213. Please come see me if you were not here this day and would like to do the dissection! Also, reading pages 216-223 in the textbook was assigned for homework for Friday :) Happy reading! The class peer-reviewed each others physics art projects and gave descriptive feedback in the form of a star and a wish.
Please come see me if you where not here this day! The class had the whole block to work on their physics art project.
Please submit your completed project on Teams! Due Tuesday. Today was all about colour! We started off the an attendance question related to color. After, we took the following notes about colour, then we wrote secret messages to each other and also guessed what colours were behind a red filter. Next, we started a physics art project that involved painting and using a computer to make a write up, the assignment is posted on Teams. We also watched this video.. Notes... Visible light - includes all of the colours of light we can see. ROYGBIV White light - is made up of a mix of all of these colours. It appears to be colourless (ex. sunlight). Example: an apple -the colours of light sitting the apple = ROYGBIV -the colours of light reflected = R -the colours of light absorbed = OYGBIV Primary Colours of Light - red, blue and green Primary Colours of Pigment - cyan, magenta and yellow *students drew out colour wheel from textbook Students needed more time to finish up the shadow lab from yesterday. Next, we went over the homework questions from Thursday and then added notes to our 'Electromagnetic Radiation' handout.
The class did a 'Shadow Lab' today.
Please complete this lab for homework if you did not finish it in class! The class started off with an attendance questions and then completed a quick physics quizeroo. After, students worked on silent reading page 152-157 in the textbook and answered Qs 1-5 on page 157. If they finished that, the students were asked to silent read page 158-160 and answer Qs 1-5 on page 160. For the second block, the class played board games!
Please complete both readings and sets of questions for homework and bring them to class on Monday! The class started off by doing a homework check by answering the following questions....
*There will be a quiz on Thursday* -Measuring wavelength + amplitude + frequency -Measuring angles of reflection and incidence -Reflection of light on lenses/mirrors/objects -Parts of a human eye -Light and Colour Today the class took the following notes... After, we defined the following words using our textbook: opaque, translucent, transparent, convex, concave and mirror. Then, students drew results from an experiment using a ray box, opaque object, translucent object, transparent object, concave + convex lenses, concave + convex + plane mirrors and prisms. At the end of class, progress reports were handed out.
Notes... Question: Are light rays visible? Give examples. Answer: Yes, some light rays are visible. Examples = rainbow, sun rays and a flash light. Question: What does the path that light travels in look like? Answer: A straight line. BIG IDEA: We can see light when it is reflected off an object or when we look directly at the source. Please read textbook pages 168-175 for homework and get your Progress Reports signed! The class received their Chemistry Tests back. After, the two Waves worksheets from last class were reviewed and then some free time experimenting with ray boxes and concave + convex lenses was had.
An attendance question was done to start the class. Next reviewed the homework questions from last class and we talked about report cards coming out in two weeks. Then, we took the following notes on waves... and then completed two worksheets on waves - one focussing on vocabulary and the other on comparing different waves. After, we played with ray boxes, prisms and mirrors!
Notes... -A wave with the crest, trough, amplitude and wavelength labelled -An example of a transverse wave Ex. rope or colour -An example of a longitudinal (compression) wave Ex. sound or slinky -Frequency = number of cycles/time taken for those cycles (Hertz = Hz) -Wavelength = crest to crest or trough to trough (mm/cm/m etc.) -Amplitude = equilibrium to crest or trough (mm/cm/m etc.) *the larger the amplitude the more energy the wave has Examples done as a class... Calculate the following frequencies in Hertz (Hz)
The class silent read pages 134-138 and 144-146 in the textbook and answered questions 1-5 on page 138 and questions 1-5 on page 146.
Please finish the questions for homework if you did not complete them in class today! |
