Sept.22

Tentative Schedule:
Please note subjects are cross-curricular and integrated, for example, media literacy integrated into geography task




We begin working collaboratively on our Toronto Districts/Neighborhoods task on PPT, using our Kingsway handout as a reference point.  Click link for additional city regions to choose from:

Novel Study: Hatchet Chp.7 Plot Diagram Rising Action

Brian winces in severe abdomen pain from the "gutcherries".  He is injured, insect-bitten, starving, weak, afraid and miserable overall; as a result, he is mentally overwhelmed from the crash and cries in self-pity.  He begins to get to know the woods and finds sweet raspberries, ignoring the wild bear that also comes to feast on them but does not bother or attack him.

Math: Rates, Proportions





Be prepared to share your examples as a group orally & visually.




Science: Check Your Understanding
The three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
Rock: solid
Grape juice: liquid
Air: gas
Water changes from a solid to a liquid when heated because particles move faster and spread farther apart causing a change of state.
Solids have a definite volume because its particles are packed tightly together and are highly attracted to each other.
Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape.  Gas doesn’t have a definite volume nor a definite shape

1.2 Changing States
Solid particles: little movement, very close attraction
Liquid particles: more movement, beginning to spread apart
Gas particles: highly active, plenty of spreading
Table:
Solid: yes, definite shape, yes definite volume
Liquid: no, definite shape, yes definite volume
Gas: no, definite shape, no definite volume
Apple juice: liquid
Water vapour (steam): gas
Wood: solid


Science Lab 2: Changes in State (pg.16)

Purpose: We are conducting an experiment to determine what happens when matter changes state from a solid to a liquid to a gas.


Hypothesis

1.  If we place an ice cube in a plastic sandwich bag, squeeze out the air and seal it tight, place it in a microwave oven for 60-90 seconds approximately, then we think….because…according to the particle theory… 

2.  If we remove the sandwich bag from the microwave oven as soon as it inflates, then we think....because...

Procedure:

Text pg.16 1,2,3.
