Grade 3/4 Magnetism/Static Electricity unit test
Gr. 3/4 Science Magnetism/Static Electricity unit test will be on Monday, Nov. 17. Although we will have played Classroom Jeopardy, students should still begin reviewing their notes in their doutangs including experiments and diagrams.
Here is a study guide for parents/students:
Part 1 Matching.
10 - Matching vocabulary to appropriate definition.Vocabulary words: force, non-contact force, temporary magnet, poles, lodestone, magnetic field, repel, electrons, static electricity, Thunderbird.
Part 2 Fill in the blanks/Diagrams.
5 Fill in the blanks, General Knowledge.
List two naturally occurring magnets. A: lodestone and magnetite
What common objects would a magnet pick up? A: nail, paper clip, needle
List 4 materials that a magnet's magnetic field will pass through. A: wooden table top, plastic tray, skin, paper, etc.
Which part of a magnet is strongest? A: the poles.
Name the ends of a magnet. A: North pole and south pole
In which direction to compasses point. A: north
What are some First Nation's teachings with respect to static electricity?A: Most FN peoples across Canada refer to Thunderbird, a great spirit bird that creates thunder/lightning frim its eyes or from flapping its wings.
Draw a bar magnet. Label its parts. Draw it so that 3 or 4 magnets will be repelled/attracted.
Draw a magnet's magnetis field. What does it look like?
Identify contact/non-contact forces from a picture. Which pictures show contact forces like pulling or pushing? Which photos show non-contact forces like static electricity or magnetism?
Good luck studying!

Gr. 6 Art: Pencil Drawing unit test
Gr. 6 pencil drawing unit test will be on Tuesday, Nov.18. Students should review their art sketchbooks. The unit test will be in 2 parts: theory and practical drawing. Theory questions will be asked specifically from student notes/class discussions/art lesson videos. For the practical application, students will be given a face to draw in the mouth, eyes, nose and ears complete with details.
Theory
12 true or false (ie: The average human face is 6 eyeball widths wide. A: False- 4; Partially blind contour drawing is where the artist wears an eyepatch over one eye while drawing. A: False)

Gr. 8 Science: active transport
Gr. 8 students learned last day about passive transport (no energy used by cells to get substances they need). We looked at diffusion of air particles (strong perfume) and methylene blue dye in water. To demonstrate diffusion in a plant cell, we looked at onion osmosis - how high concentration of salt outside of cell enters cell (low concentration) through permeable cell membrane. No energy was used by cell.
Today, students learned how cells use energy in active transport. Carrier proteins in the cell wall capture required substances (ie: glucose or sygar) and release the sugar inside of cell. Energy is used by cell.
Worksheet pg. 161 is due Wednesday, Nov. 12. Students can use notes and SciencePower8 pg. 47 to answer worksheet.

Gr. 3/4 Science: Magnetism/Static electricity unit
Parents/Guardians,
We are close to being finished with the magnetism/static electricity unit. We only have to finish up the topic of First Nation's perspective, and then the unit is over. We will play Classroom Jeopardy as a way of reviewing content, as a summative unit test will be coming up. Students should begin reviewing their notes in their duotangs as well as experiments. A review sheet or study guide will be coming home shortly. This was a Grade 3 unit. The next unit will be a Grade 4 unit.

Gr. 8 Science: diffusion in onion cells
Students were learning how substances move in and out of cells. One way is passive, called "diffusion" - no energy is required by cell to transport substances in and out.
Onion cell diffusion lab due Friday, Nov. 7
