SCIENCE: HEAT TRANSFER

Our Learning Goals

1. To identify various household appliances we use everyday that transfer heat by conduction, convection and radiation.
2. To describe the effect of heat on the motion of particles using the Particle Theory of Matter.
3. To identify examples of energy conservation in your home, school or community.

Task
Working cooperatively in pairs, create a Prezi or Video that explains              

• how heat is transmitted in your household everyday by conduction, convection and radiation in solids, liquids and gases;
• the effect of heat on the motion of particles;
• how we can reduce our energy consumption.

Success Criteria

• presentation engages interest
• layout easy-to-follow, chronological order
• supporting visual examples (images and/or video)
• visuals clearly titled and explained
• scientific vocabulary defined
• offer personal experiences and opinions

Email your Prezi upon completetion

Math Corrections 8.4  Begin 8.5 Textbook & Workbook

History (video conclusion, copy/paste notes to your table)

• French alliance with Hurons destroyed after 40 years - weapons, alcohol, disease and forced religion to blame
• King Louis 14th of France doesn't want to give up on New France and establishing/settling a new colony
• Louis wages a "holy war" against the Iroquois
• Louis also makes New France a Royal Colony with a government & administrators
• Governor of New France is impulsive and launches a surprise campaign against Iroquois in January (he has absolutely no experience dealing with a cold Canadian winter and is not prepared) as a result, hundreds of his soldiers die from the cold
• Eventually French sign a peace treaty with Iroquois for 20yrs
• King Louis offers large estates "seigneuries" for his New France administrators
• King Louis sends young, poor, abandoned girls "les filles du roi" to populate New France by getting married and bearing children 
• The goal is to change forests into towns and provinces, much like in the mother country France
• More servants (engagés) sent to New France to work; their labor was bought and sold; they would eventually become masters of the new land and Canadian Pioneers

Homework

Begin reading Canada Revisited textbook pg.59-63 

King Louis establishes a Royal Colony/Government in New France

Great job on putting together our class banner for the upcoming Way of Cross, it's well done!

Tomorrow morning we welcome Ms. Lehane (St. John) & Ms. Arpa (St. Eugene) for a mini Science lesson.  I suggest you take home your textbook and read through U8 Energy Transfer pgs. 206-207 Conduction, pgs.210-211 Convection and pgs.214-215 Radiation so you have some background knowledge for the group task.  

Group pairings:
Sofia/Concetta
Gabby/Franny
Sammie/Michael
Josie/Leala
Daniel/James
Evan/Bruno
Evidence/Sergio
Vernon/Jake
Emily/Angela
Rachel/Sarah
Hannah/Megan
Anthony/Steven

April 8

Continue working on your science lab.  Write your hypothesis before conducting the experiments for the internal forces of compression (squeeze), torsion (twist), shear (rip) and tension (stretch).  Observation table to be completed in MS Word.  Then analyze/evaluate questions in text.  E-mail write up by April 11th.

Math 8.4 corrections below.  Complete/check over 8.4 workbook for tomorrow.

April 5

April 5 Substitute Agenda

Be good, cooperative and respectful - no negative reports about anyone, no misuse of netbooks ;)

Today's tasks:

Novel Study (individual task, MS Word, emailed)

The theme of a book is its main idea or message to you, the reader. (This is not a retell of the story).  A work of literature can have more than one theme. 

A Wrinkle in Time deals with many different themes— importance of family, religious connections, celebrating diversity, overcoming challenges, light/love/reason vs dark/hatred/ignorance etc.  Ask yourself what L’Engle’s book is really about. Explain what you think is are most important themes of A Wrinkle in Time. Support your answer with details from the novel.

In regards to religion, think back to Aunt Beast's calling by God to heal others; think back to what can be seen is temporal and that what is important is unseen and based on faith; think about negativity (dark thing and hatred) vs positivity (light and love).

In regards to diversity, think about what Meg said at end of movie "like does not mean equal - you have to find your own beat"; uniqueness, diversity of ideas/opinions needs to be celebrated, respected not crushed and destroyed.

Science
Individually or with a partner, begin a science lab write up (purpose, hypothesis, materials, procedure, observations, analysis, conclusion) for 10.5 modelling internal forces of tension, compression, torsion and shear in textbook pg.282 procedure #1-7, analyze/evaluate a-d.  Refer to science pkg about internal/external forces you completed this past Wed for any definitions.

TASK TRACKER 
Term 2 Pre/Post March Break

For your own learning, please ensure the following tasks are completed and submitted no later than Friday April 12th so that you don't fall behind and have it affect your final grades:

A Wrinkle in Time Chapters 9-10

We learn that on Camazotz people's liberties, freedoms, rights, privileges and decision-making abilities  have been completely stripped from them and become part of IT, the disembodied brain.  They can no longer think for themselves - diversity, creativity, imagination, independence is clearly not valued - it's stifled and crushed.  Everything is alike, but not equal.  We also learn that Meg must use her talents and step up to save her omnipotent father who seems to have no solution to their problem of understanding how to move through time and space back home.

Our interpretations:

March 28

A Wrinkle in Time, Chp.5-8 Follow-up

What was your personal impression of the planet of Camazotz? What questions would you like to ask the author about this place?

Is there anything/anyone in our world today that thinks like red-eyed Man?
What is the Thing and which historical figures have opposed it?

What is life like for the residents of Camazotz?

What has happened to Meg’s father?

The people on the planet Camazotz have no crime, no responsibility, and no decisions to make. What is so wrong with their society?

Mrs. Whatsit and the children name well-known figures from our civilization who have fought against the darkness. Whom would you add to the list and why?
