Hello Amazing 805. I hope you all are feeling well & having a good day. I sure do miss you! Hopefully you are working on your Math & Hum...we will start to roll with Science next week. We thought Math & Hum to get you back slowly but surely.
Please take care & know that you are all Ex-CELL-ent!
Please send in your beautiful da Vinci projects using the instructions below if you have not done so already.
Tuesday, March 17, 2020
Hello from HDC! We miss you all. Hope that all is going well at home.
We know that you worked very hard on your Da Vinci projects over the last week or so. Even though we sadly cannot see your masterpieces in person, we would still love to get a chance to see and assess your creations! Here's what we need you to do:
1. Create a new folder in Google Drive. Title it, "Your full name - Da Vinci Project"
2. Take pictures of ALL visual journal pages that you used for your project. There should only be one journal page per photo.
3. Upload these photos into your new folder on Google Drive. Please title each photo as which page it shows (e.g. "Circulatory system drawing")
4. Once all photos of your project are in the folder, share the folder with all three of us (plus Ms. Lockwood because she wants to see your drawings!):
- Ms. Epp: gmepp@educbe.ca
- Ms. Krushel: mnkrushe@educbe.ca
- Ms. Hoskins: elhoskins@educbe.ca
- Ms. Lockwood: aalockwood@educbe.ca
We are so excited to see your projects! If you are having issues creating your folder, uploading pictures, etc. please let us know, and we will help you find another way to get your project to us.
Take care, be safe, and stay calm. As Nenshi said, we will get through this with clean hands, clear heads, and open hearts. Feel free to shoot any of us an email if you need anything 💌
-Ms. Epp, Ms. Krushel, Ms. Lockwood, and Ms. Hoskins

The Amazing & Eggcellent 805
Happy hiatus to all of you. Sorry about the lab report!
Here is a copy of the annotated lab guidelines. Thanks for working so hard on this very important academic task. Labs are due on Wed Feb 19 printed by the start of class...they will be proofread, with a conference, and then you will have 5 calendar days to make your edits. I am proud of each of you for rising to this rigorous activity. You are so eggcellent!

Please have viscosity tasks #1, 4, 5,6 done for Monday please.
Science 8
Unit: Mix & Flow of Matter
You will have 2 class periods to complete the following work. All work must be completed by this time, in order, in a neat & organized manner. Make sure to ask questions when you do not understand.
- Read Topic 4 pages 40-49.
- *******Watch the demonstration on Flow Rate & Viscosity. Make notes & observations about what you saw happen. Lists all the equipment used. The graph that you will draw will come from this data. This graph may not be completed on the computer.
- Answer the following questions:
- Based on the data from the demo, how does viscosity affect flow rate?
- What effect does temperature have on the flow rate and viscosity of a liquid?
- Motor oil is used in car engines to lubricate moving parts. It is sold in several grades, SAE 5, SAE 10, SAE 30, SAE 40. The numbers indicate the viscosity—the lower the number, the less viscous the oil. Which grade of oil would you use in your car in the summer and which would you use in the winter? Explain why!!!
- Make your own notes which contain information on the following:
-viscosity
-viscous
-flow rate (include units)
-lubricants
-internal friction
-superfluids
-product performance
-differences between viscosity of liquids & gases
-viscosity in gases & temperature
-viscosity in liquids & temperature
- Complete Investigation 1-G on page 47. Answer questions 1,2,3,4.
- Answer questions #5 & #6 from Topic 4 Review on page 49.
Midterm is set for Wednesday...we did a big review today. Review will continue tomorrow in class. Please ensure that you are prepping for your exam tonight & tomorrow & please get all of your loose handouts pasted into your journals.
Please look through & be able to answer the analysis questions on p. 23 on solubility graphs.
I will be taking your journals home to look through over the long weekend. Please go through the checklist that I posted going in to the weekend.
Oct 4/19
Midterm is Wednesday & your journals will come in before the weekend.
Here are the notes for the day. Homework for Monday is the review page & the first 3 questions from the challenging temperature & solubility worksheet.

Thank you for such a great week...I am so very impressed by your intelligent conversation & your ability to jump into concepts that are difficult.
For Monday, please have completed your 2 page vocabulary pre-work. Remember to put the definitions into your own words & draw a picture to help you keep all these words straight. There is a lot of vocabulary to work through.
Here are your words:
soluble
insoluble
universal solvent
solute
solvent
saturated
supersaturated
unsaturated
solubility
Enjoy your weekend...get some sleep in time :)
Sept 13/19
We finished our discussion of the Classification of Matter...lab on Monday first thing! Here are the notes in case you were away. Get outside tonight to see the moon!!! Have a happy weekend.
Sept 11/19
Today we started our investigation of the Classification of Matter. We started with pure substances and had a brief discussion of elements & compounds--your background knowledge is awesome!! No homework please as it is important that we build this out together.
Today we did a lab that proved the Particle Model of Matter...no big deal :) Please ensure that your lab is finished for tomorrow. Here is the link in case you forgot it.
Wow...I am so impressed by your knowledge of particles. We had a great brainstorming session about solids, liquids, and gases. Here is a picture of the notes from the board...(I'm so sorry I erased the gas section)!
We have a little lab in the morning first thing. No homework tonight :) Go With The Flow
