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! Today we reviewed what colour is and how a camera obscura works by watching these videos... After, we listened to Halloween music and drew spooky eye balls and labelled the retina, iris, cornea, lens, pupil, focal point, optic nerve and sclera. Please finish your drawings at home if you did not complete them in class today! We watched the following videos to introduce physics and had some groups discussions. After, we started making making a pin hole camera with this worksheet... An attendance question was done to start the class and then we did the Elephant Toothpaste Lab! After, we did an Element Tour and then an outside Element Hunt.
Please email me your groups names, a list of the elements you found and your photos if you haven't already! There will be prizes on Friday for the winners :) The chemistry tests were marked as a class and reviewed at the same time - great work everyone!! After, we started our physics unit by introducing these questions and writing our answers on the whiteboards in groups.
-What is physics? -How do we see light? -What are particles and waves? Today we had our chemistry unit test!
Please come see me if you were not here today :) Class started with an attendance question and then we continued working on the chemistry review, the answers were gone over together as a class at the end.
Please use this review package to study for your chemistry test on Monday and bring your completed review package to class on Monday for marks! Density Questions and Bohr Model Ions were reviewed as a class then pages 260-265 were silent read. A collaborative document was made to go over study materials and possible questions for the review class tomorrow.
Calculating density was discussed as a class with the notes below and the following density calculations and definitions were taken in for completion marks. While all of this work was going on, the class learned how to use Bunsen burners one on one and performed the 'Imploding Pop Can' experiment - FUN!
Notes... -Density is a measurement of how much mass fits in a given volume. -Mass is a measurement of how much matter (p,n,e) there is in the object. -Volume is a measurement of how much 3D space the matter occupies. -Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume 𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦= 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠/𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 Please hand in the 'Density & Definitions' worksheet for completion marks! Today we started off with an attendance question and then talked about SPACE! We looked at this website and talked about Jupiter. Next, we drew many 'Bohr Models' in the worksheet below. Then we moved onto a project while everyone one on one learned how to use a Bunsen burner.
Element Project must include... -Element Name, Atomic #, Atomic Mass, Element Symbol, Bohr Diagram and it must be on coloured paper so we can hang them around the classroom! Come see me if you want to see an example of one :) Please have your parents/guardians sign your progress report and hand it back on Friday! Today we took notes on the Kinetic Molecular Theory and Atomic Molecular Theory. Then pages 250-251 in the textbook were silently read. Questions 1-4 on page 251 were discussed as a class and then the 'Imploding Pop Can' experiment was demonstrated. Thank you to the students who brought their own cans! Lastly these videos were watched. Notes.. Kinetic Molecular Theory -All matter is made up of tiny particles -Different substances have different particles -The particles are in constant motion -The more energy the particles have, the faster they move -There is empty space between the particles Atomic Molecular Theory -All matter is composed of small, fast moving particles called atoms. These atoms can join together to form molecules. This theory contains many other theories that explain chemistry, and nature, and everything?! A work block was given for students to finish up their 'Build an Atom Activity' and then move onto getting five stars in all four chemistry games offered on that same PHET website on the worksheet.
Please show me in person, or send me a screen shot, of your five stars in each of the four games! |
