Grade 7
We are completing coordinates and transformations unit. Students have been taking transformations to the next level by completing transformations in succession. Next week, students will receive the practice test (l'auto-évaluation). The coordinates test will take place March 6th.
Congratulations to the grade 7s for completing their Rock Cycle project. They look beautiful and are filled to the brim with exciting information.
Ever wonder how mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes are formed? The grade 7s know. We are now exploring plate tectonics. Students are currently using global earthquake data to map out plates combining our knowledge of coordinates and science. Next we will take a close look at minerals and mining in Manitoba. It'll be a chance for students to connect their knowledge to our province.
Grade 8
We are wrapping up our cell exploration. Students presented their edible cell today. It was such a treat! Excellent work grade 8s! It was wonderful to see and taste such creativity and understanding. The cells, diffusion and osmosis test will be the 6th of March. Students will receive a preparation outline next week. Our next chapter will be cell systems, specifically a look at the circulatory system and the immune system.
