Great Canadian Energy Essay and Earth Day Pledges

-
Great Canadian Energy Source -
Some of the students have already researched and identified 10 facts about the chosen energy resource. Students are expected to cite their resources and also provide details to support their facts. For example, any research, scientific data, numbers or statistical data that supports the facts. Students are also asked to categorize each of the fact to have evidence for being a political, social, economic or environmental factor. Today, we also talked about main energy sources in Alberta.

Earth Day Pledge -
As part of our Earth Day activities and assembly that would be happening on coming Friday, today every student has typed a contract and pledged to do one thing for next 5 days that would be beneficial for Earth and its resources. Please ask your kids about their pledges.

Graphing linear equations -
We worked more on plotting linear equations. We practiced questions where
(i) an equation would be given and students have to come up with Input/Output Table, select the co-ordinates and draw the graphs from using the co-ordinates.
(ii) Input/Output table would be provided and the students have to come up with Input/Output Rule or linear equation and then plot the graph using coordinates.
Currently, we are working on an Math assignment sheet for this concept.

1. Paper Homes - Students have almost completed the first phase of their paper homes. As a next step,  students will check how much thermal energy is lost from their paper homes. For their second phase, students will insulate their homes so that they can reduce the lost of thermal energy from their homes. Today, the students were handed over the rubric for paper homes. The link to the actual assignment can be found here . 2. Bridge Testing - This Friday, students will test their bridges against 20N force applied. Students will also present their bridge models in their respective groups. Students are expected to be able to explain their bridge model, based on following criteria: - How the force is balanced throughout the structure? - What are the anticipated stress on the bridge? - Different kind of loads that are expected on the bridge? Live and Static Load - What is centre of gravity? Why is it important to know the centre of gravity of a structure? 3. Great Canadian Energy

Happy New Year Families! Here are your updates for last one week after winter break: Language Arts Students have finished their novel "The Other Place" before winter break and have completed multiple reading responses that was provided throughout the novel study. Currently, they are learning to draft a "business letter" as part of their Langevin Market project where they would contact a mentor for their line of business. Social Studies Students are learning about Fur Trade and different phases of fur trade. As a next step, they will be working on a fur trading post project where they would utilize their acquired knowledge from Science about Structures & Forces to build a fur trading post model. Science We have been learning about different ways to identify a structure in terms of design and function. During last week, students worked on a research activity  where they were asked to research about a structure and identify the influence/impact of its f
