Attached, please find this weeks STEAM activity you may wish to try.

Grade 7 - please join our weekly chat on Wednesday on our Class Team.

Grade 8 - Your task, if you choose to do so, is to research the answers to the following questions:

1. What is light?

2. What is our biggest natural light source? Name another natural light source?

3. What is radiant energy?

4. Name five (5) other sources of light

5. What is an artifical light source? Give an example.

Happy Monday. It was nice to see some of your parents this morning picking up your stuff. Made me miss you all even more.

For all of you in Grade 7 & 8, I have attached below the STEAM activity for this week.

Big news for those whom had been working on a STEM Fair project, they are going to have a virtual nation-wide STEM Fair. I have also attached below an email from Mr. Savoy explaining how it works. You may sign up for it as of today.

I hope all are getting outside and enjoying the sun when it shines. Please stay physically active. The Cove is a great way for the family to go on a hike together. There is still some snow on the curling club signed on the hills, but that just makes it more fun!!!! If you do go, you will have to do the Red Trail (Creaghan Gulch) as the bridge is out on the Blue Trail. It was beautiful there yesterday and a great cardio workout.

I will upload a couple of other science activities once I get home. The school computer is taking too long!!

Don't forget about our Team Meeting on Wednesday at 1:30. Look forward to talking to you all.

Have a great week.

Ms. Baldwin

Hello Grade 7 and 8.

Please find this weeks STEAM project if you wish to give it a try. I know it will interest many of you.

Reminder to 7B to be sure to check out Mr. Bosma, Mrs. Hache and Mrs. Murphy's Teacher Pages for for Wellness, math and Language Arts activities for you to work on. 

Next week I will be attaching some science actiivities related to our units we started working on in February. Grade 8 yours will involve some interesting small experiments on Optics and Light that you can try at home if you choose to do so. If you are able or already have a laser pointer it will come in handy for many of the labs. I buy mine in the pet section at the Dollar Store in Douglastown. Also, if you have a hand or locker mirror this will also be useful.

Grade 7B - If you are able to find it, I would appreciate it if you can watch the movie Dante's Peak. Many of the outcomes for our unit on The Earth's Crust have been used in making this movie. It is a very good movie that you could watch with your family. I was able to find it on the internet to watch.

Also 7B, don't forget about our Class Team Meeting every Wednesday at 1:30. Please pass the word along to everyone. This is a way for us to do a check-in, have me discuss what you have been doing to keep busy and active and a chance, once I hang up, for you all to talk amongst yourselves.

PE activitiy for this week, if you so choose. I would like each of you to create a game. It could be a tag game or any other game that requires physical activity. It can be an individual or team game. I would like you to video your game with an explanation of the rules and a demonstration how to play. I would hope you would send them to me in an email and then I could post them to our TEAM for each of you to watch. If you are unable or do not want to video yourself or others playing your game, you could draw a diagram of your game and type the instructions and rules for playing. Remember this is a voluntary project but could be a lot of fun if you get your siblings or parents involved. 

Have a great week and we will "talk" on Wednesday.
