MATH
I want my Math students to work on the question: "805 of my class likes basketball. There are 25 people in my class. How many people like basketball?"
SCIENCE
The students are to create a working model of a periscope. They have created groups, and sometime after the break, they are to build a device that acts as a periscope. They will need at least 2 small mirrors, and whatever other materials they wish... paper towel roll, orange juice box, or whatever.
If they need extra help, p.260 in the text book offers a rough idea. As well, if you google "build periscope", you will find plenty of ways to do it.
You can buy mirrors at Dollarama in Saint John, if you get away over the break. As well, the dollar store here in Grand Harbour may offer some useful materials as well.
If money is an issue about buying mirrors, let me know, and I will make fair arrangements.
