Exam Week

Students are free to email or message me via the blog if they have any exam questions about math or science.

Good luck in the morning exams grade 9's!

Good luck in the afternoon exams grade 8's!

I'll be thinking of you all.

EXAM Calculators & Exam review weekend at Acadia - FREE tutors & Teacher help!

News From the Acadia Mathematics Department:

Reminder to all parents: your child must have a non-programmable scientific calculator for Exam day in June. Acadia teachers will not be providing calculators for student use on the exam. Students will not be allowed to use iPods, iPads, or iPhones as calculators during the exam. The ability to use a non-programmable, scientific calculator is a curricular outcome in all 3 grades at Acadia. Showing up on exam day without a calculator is not an option.

Exam Math Help Sessions!

On Saturday, June 4th and Sunday June 5th the Acadia math department will be offering drop-in student help sessions for anyone who wants some math help before exam day.

Help is available from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Students will have to enter through the parking lot doors.

Contact your child's math teacher at Acadia if you have any questions! 
Check for their email on the Homework online page.

SCIENCE - Ask your friends, families or neighbours about the 1997 flood.  Find out more about it online if you are able to.  Write down some flood vocabulary!

Grade 8 Science - WATER SYSTEMS

FLOOD RECIPIES are due Tuesday, June 6th in class.  The assignment is available here.  It is our last assignment for marks in science this year before our exam!!  Make sure you hand it in on time.



We had a field trip to Fort Whyte on Thursday and Friday, May 19th, and 20th.  We learned about: ground water, marshes, swamps, duck weed, flooding, pollution, fresh water, salt water and watersheds.

We are demonstrating our knowledge about the Hydrologic (water) cycle using Voicethreads.  Be prepared for a possible final exam question on it and where pollution can occur in it!

The picture we can use is here!

The vocabulary is:

evaporation          condensation       run-off         transpiration          precipitation        infiltration (percolation)

absorption     aquifer (groundwater)          surface water (oceans, lakes, rivers, puddles)


If you have submitted your VOICE THREADS or SMARTBOARD recorded file explaining the water cycle to Mrs. Snyder here,

Try this water webquest first!!!!

Then you can log into Discovery Education to check out what you know about water by watching some videos!  Check out the student TAB to see the videos assigned.
