Weekly News

Welcome 2012.  I hope everyone had a fantastic 2 weeks off and that you are feeling all rested and ready to go in this new year!

In Math we are going to continue Chapter 2, dealing with Linear functions.  We are going to start off by discussing the difference between direct and inverse variations and look more closely at the difference in the equations used for each one.  We will be completing Embedded Assessment #2 on Thursday (with a review on Wednesday).  On Friday, we will be reviewing slope-intercept form.

In Science we are going to start one of our last mini-units: Wet Cell Batteries. We will be looking at energy conversion and students will be creating and conducting an experiment that uses a wet cell chamber to convert chemical energy to electrical energy.

In Advisory we will be reviewing our last major topic from Quarter 1 Interim Assessment: Probability.  Students will ultimately be tested on all of these review topics on the next interim assessment.

Any questions for this week?  Feel free to ask!
