Week 18: December 8- December 12

Math:  Students began adding and subtracting fractions today.  We will also move to multiplying and dividing decimals through the rest of this week.  

Science:  The students completed their Earthquake plot maps today.  We discussed how the earthquake plots could show the location of plate boundaries and why that is important information that scientists want to find out.   Throughout the rest of the week we will begin working with convection currents and volcanic activity.  

Homework:  Students need to complete the "Worm" worksheet that was begun in class today.  Students should also begin working on Math's Mate Term 2 Sheet 6.

Week 17: December 1- December 5

Math:  This week in Science we are beginning to work with decimals.  Over the next couple of weeks we will work with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals.

Science:  We are still working on our Earth Structures unit.  The students are working with the relationship between the location of various earthquakes and the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Homework:  Students should finish the decimal worksheet begun today in class.  Students should also begin working on Math's Mate Term 2 Sheet 5.
