Math
Last Week: Students in 7A, B and C wrote a quiz on the area of triangles, rectangles and parallelograms. Students in 7D and E learned about the triangle and parallelogram formula. This Week: Students in 7D and 7E will write an area quiz on Thursday, May 3rd. Students in 7A, B and C will work on their circle art assignments. HOMEWORK: Several students in 7C and 7B have been asked to redo and/or finish their fraction art assignment. This will be due on Monday, April 30th. Science: Last Week: Classes talked about fossil fuels and researched the different points of views on the Trans Canada pipeline debate. This Week: Students in 7A and C will debate the pipeline. There will be a unit quiz next week as well on all topics. Students will be given information to study. IMPORTANT INFO: On Tuesday, May 1st a presenter will be coming in to all grade 7 classes to teach the Human Sexuality component of the health curriculum. Students who do not have permission will be doing an alternate assignment in a different classroom.

Math: Last Week: Students have been learning about parallelograms and triangles. We are practicing writing the formulas, substituting and answering questions with units squared. ***Check out the area video below! This Week: Students in 7D and 7E will finish up circumference, area and diameter. Classes 7A, 7B and 7C will be finishing up triangle and parallelograms and moving on the area of a circle. Homework: 7A - Parallelogram and Triangles Quiz on Monday, April 23rd. 7B and C = 4.3 and 4.4 sheets are due on Monday. ***Circumference quiz needs to be corrected AND signed! 7B and C= Triangle and Parallelogram Quiz on Wednesday, April 25th. Students should review formulas for area of a square, rectangle, triangle and parallelogram. All students should have a geometry set. Science: Last Week: Students have been looking at mountain ranges and the categories of mountains. We have been starting to look at the geological timeline and the different eras. We also are starting talking about fossils - how they are formed, what they are, etc. ***Check out the video below! This Week: We will continue looking at the different eras and significant events in each era. Students will start looking at fossil fuels. They will define words in their personal journals and debate the KinderMorgan Pipeline. Homework: 7A - Geological timelines due Monday! 7B and 7C = Geological timelines due Tuesday! School Events: On Friday, April 27th the school will be completing its second design challenge. For this design challenge, students should be bringing in some of the following items: - cardboard, egg cartons, nails, screws, elastics, dixie cups, dowels, paper towel and toilet paper rolls Math Last Week: Students in 7A, B and C wrote a quiz on circumference which included solving radius, diameter and circumference problems. 7D and 7E started learning about circumference and will continue next week. This Week: Students will start learning about parallelograms and how to figure out the area. (Check out video below!) ***Students need a geometry kit for this unit!!!*** Science Last Week: We talked about earthquakes and volcanoes and learned several new vocabulary words including: fault, epicentre, normal, reverse and strike-slip earthquakes, magma, pipe, vent, dormant, surface, primary and secondary waves. We used longitude and latitude lines to plot major earthquake and volcano events that have happened on Earth. This Week: We will begin looking at mountains. Students will plot the major mountain ranges on a world map and we will learn about the different categories of mountains, as well as the different ways mountains can be formed. Here are some extra practice worksheets with answers for the next unit.
