Today we wrote a quiz on Plate Tectonics.  Next we worked on our Earthquakes/Volcanoes project.   This is due on Monday

For homework, you should be reviewing for the exam.  Use the following Unit Reviews in your text for vocabulary words:
Biology- Page 120-121 (Chapter 1 and 3 only) 
Chemistry-Page 346- 347 (Chapter 7 only)
Physics-  Page 232-233 (All except vision deficiencies in the eye)
Earth Science-  Plate Tectonics notes and plate tectonics map.   You will get a copy of the map for your exam.

Here is a practice exam to help you see the types of questions you could have.

KEY is here.  

Science 8

Today we did some plate tectonics practice in order to prepare for our plate tectonics quiz tomorrow.  Make sure you can explain: 1) Continental Drift (and give evidence for it)    2) Plate Tectonics (and explain how it works)    3) The three types of plate boundaries and what features are created at them. 
Here are some videos to help you review:

Science 8

Today we wrote our eyeball quiz.   Next we took some notes based on a new power point: Plate Tectonics.

Assignments due today:  Pangea Map from yesterday.   And Interpreting Plate Tectonics Maps. 

Finally we watched a couple of videos on the Ring of Fire. 

Science 8

Eye Quiz tomorrow:  Know the parts and their functions

Make sure you turn in the reading check from page 205 . 

Today we finished notes on continental drift and started a continental drift activity:  Building Pangea

Science 8

Today we dissected the EYEBALL!!  Nice work everyone.  Your surgical precision was evident in the process.

Optics Quest tomorrow.....no eyeball parts on this.  Just waves, electromagnetism, light, mirror, lenses...Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 in your text book.  Make sure you complete the optics review found HERE.

Science 8

Today we took some notes on concave and convex mirrors and lenses.  Next we worked on the mirrors worksheet from yesterday.  Finally we watched a video helping us prepare for the EYEBALL DISSECTION TOMORROW!!

Science 8

Today we set up the schedule for the week.....Finish off mirror and lenses, dissect an eyeball and write an optics quest.   Optics quest is on Chapter 4 and 5.  Use the textbook page 232-233 to help you study for this. 

We took some notes on how light acts when it hits mirrors and lenses.   Next we did a short activity drawing diagrams of light rays with mirrors and lenses.  Next we got a mirrors worksheet.  Bring this back tomorrow. 

Science 8

Today we had a quick quiz on waves.  You needed to draw waves and label wavelength, amplitude, resting position etc. 
We took some notes on the ray model of light.  Next we did a quick lab on measuring the angle of reflection when light bounces off a mirror. 

Science 8

Today we took some more notes and talked about the electromagnetic spectrum.  Next we did a lab with prisms splitting white light into the spectrum of colours (rainbow).  Finally we watched Bill Nye: Optics

Science 8

Today we worked on our electromagnetic spectrum foldable note sheet.   If you have been away from class see yesterday's blog for the alternate assignment.  Next we completed the first page of the waves worksheet found HERE.    The second page is bonus if you want.   

Science 8

I was sick today, but class went on!   Thanks to our great TOC you started the Electromagnetic Spectrum Fold able notesheet.   If you are not in school and need an alternative, please do the attached worksheet HERE.   

Science 8

Today in the double block we wrote the test on the Matter Unit.  Next we read page 130-138 and did the Reading Check on page 138.   We also watched Bill Nye (Waves) in block 3/4. 

Science 8

TEST ON MATTER (Chapter 7) in the double block.  Use the unit review given to you and vocabulary words to study!

Practice test for matter unit found HERE.  Answers are: 1) B     2) C    3) A     4) D   
5) D        6)A          7) C       8) D      9) B     10) D       11) C       12) C      18) C

Short answer:  1) Solids have a definite shape as the particles are so tightly packed, that they are unable to slide past each other.        2) Gas particles can easily slide past each other to take whatever shape the container is.

On graph-- solid water is at 0 degrees C.  Boiling water is close to 100 degrees C.  Energy goes into change of state.

Science 8

Today we completed the matter unit by looking at subatomic particles and taking notes on them with this power point.   Don't worry!  You are only responsible for knowing about protons, neutrons and electrons.  (and that quarks and leptons are out there too).  Next we continued to review for the matter test:  page 273 #10-14.   When you are done all this check out these fun atomic games:

Today we got a test review for the Matter Test.  This will be next week in your double block.   We watched Bill Nye talk about atoms and answered some questions about them.

Science 8

Today we took some notes on properties of solids/liquids/gases.   Next we did the lab: Layers of Water on page 268.  You should turn this lab in with the "What did you find out" questions #1-5 answered.  Next we got a density detective worksheet.  This is for HOMEWORK.

Science 8

Today we completed the Density Lab.  Make sure you have turned in the lab with a data table, analysis questions and conclusion. 

Science 8

Today ALMOST all of us finished the Epidemic Disease Power Point!!   We will be presenting these to our classmates and to a public health nurse next week.   Next we worked on our solar distiller and set these up to collect clean water.  Finally we watched good 'ol Mr. Bill Nye talk about Matter.
