Welcome 7C & 7D!
Math:
ALGEBRA Chapter 9
Hand In #1: May 6th
Hand In #2: May 12th
Algebra Unit Test: May 15th
In Math this week, we continued learning about our Algebra unit. Students explored important vocabulary such as coefficients, variables, and constants, and practiced identifying each part within algebraic expressions. We also learned how to graph linear relations, interpret patterns, and write algebraic expressions to help solve real-world problems. Students are beginning to see how algebra can be used to represent relationships and make predictions using tables, graphs, and equations. Throughout this unit, students will work on developing problem-solving strategies, showing their thinking, and checking their work for accuracy. We practiced plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate plane, identifying patterns in tables of values, and connecting graphs to equations and written situations. Students are encouraged to continue reviewing concepts and practicing questions from textbook pages 376–397 to strengthen their understanding and confidence with these new algebra skills.
Hand In's can be found under the MATH tab> Chapter 9> Hand In #2>Hand In #3.
Science:
Unit E: PLANTS FOR FOOD AND FIBRE
Intro to Plants: May 29th
This week in science, students were introduced to their final science unit of the year: Plants for Food and Fibre! Throughout this unit, students will explore the important role plants play in our everyday lives and how humans depend on them for food, materials, medicine, and industry. Students will investigate plant structures and functions, including roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, and discover how plants grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment. They will also examine how different growing conditions affect plant health, learn about soil composition, and explore sustainable agricultural practices and technologies used to support food production around the world. As part of the unit, students will develop their scientific inquiry skills through hands-on experiments and observations. One exciting lab challenge will have students putting their “green thumbs” to the test as they investigate whether plants can survive and thrive without soil. Through this activity, students will explore alternative growing methods while practicing prediction, observation, data collection, and analysis. We are looking forward to a fun and engaging end to our science year filled with discovery and growth.
