As part of the year 8 expedition ‘May the force be with you’ students read this poem and wrote notes on what they notice, wonder and question.
As part of the Spread A Little Happiness expedition Bishop Peter of Doncaster was invited to XP. to discuss his views on kindness. This video shows students asking Bishop Peter questions they had thought of.
Skipper have two I Am Learning activities to complete based on circuits and energy.
Students will need to revisit any previous Mathletics where they did not meet the recommended 85%.
Skipper must complete the five energy story problems provided. Students have received the questions on paper to write up neatly into maths books. Students should use the back of their books to try out rough ideas (rough does not mean messy), and copy final neat work into the front of books.
As with the story problem/KWC completed at school today, students should think back to the problem solving attitudes and step by step problem solving protocol before attempting each question. Students ‘get smart’ by using the KWC problem solving protocol also. This will help to work through each question logically.
This is an assessed piece of work and MUST be completed as the marks will go towards final grades.
If there are any questions, please email Mr V or post into Google Classroom.
Skipper did an experiment based on energy transfer in elastic bands. Students should complete the write up for this in their STEM books if they have not completed it in class.
Detailed information on what to write for each section can be found on Google Classroom. Students should refer to this before completing the work to ensure they cover everything they need to.
