Bill Nye Simple Machines
For those band students that were away at camp, we watched the Bill Nye Video on Simple Machines. The topics were all discussed in class today but this video is worth a watch to review today's lesson and for the entertainment factor!

Mechanical Systems textbook link
New Science Unit
I have added a link to the textbook resource for the Mechanical Systems Unit we are starting. You can find it under the Important Link Section on the right hand side of the page.
I enjoyed chatting with your parents about all the projects you have been working on the last couple of months.
Have a great weekend. See you on Monday!

Hopefully everyone had a great time at band camp over the past couple days. For those of you who missed out on it, we watched these Youtube videos while you were gone.
One of the things that, even to this day we use to almost define a culture is their food. When people think of India their thoughts often turn to Curries, spice, and Naan bread. Japan brings to mind Sushi and Yakisoba. England makes us think of Fish and Chips, Mushy Peas, and Meat Pies. Even within Canada we think of Fish and Lobster from the Atlantic provinces, Poutine and Maple Syrup from Quebec, and of course, our own Alberta Beef.
Food also has class connotations. We all know of the starving college student stereotype, surviving on Raman noodles and stale hot dog buns. Contrast that with the wall street banker buying a 100 dollar steak for lunch every day.
That begs the question, what did food look like in England during the Middle Ages? This is a short youtube series looking at how people across four main classes within the medieval world ate. It also provides a very interesting look at how class was reflected in the food that was eaten.

I have posted a link to the Mid-Unit Review in case you forget to bring yours home over the weekend.
Reminder that we have a small quiz on Monday (4 questions) to check your understanding of squares and square roots before we move on to Pythagorean theorem.

Nov 17th Hums update
Sorry for the delay in getting this out.
Much excitement was had with the dry run of our Japan museum. The artefacts look great. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone share them with their folks during student-led conferences later this week.
Just as a reminder, the student leds for humanities at least will be hosted in the Learning Commons, not the classroom.
Also, I'm not 100% sure if it is going to work out, but we are trying to organize another opportunity for the kids are away at Band Camp to show their folks their work. I believe it is tentatively pencilled in for Friday afternoon on the 29th, but I'll update those affected as soon as I know more.
Don't forget, the Japan Unit test will be on Tuesday and the final artists statement for your aftefact is due on Thursday. I've also attached a link to the question bank because there are a few people who left it at school.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1up1SSmkFDAagPUu60SvdHzkPuA7_zheP9sZf1v9npkc/edit?usp=sharing
Remember, you are allowed to bring in the question sheet with notes on it, and the test will be one of those questions but even I don't know which one yet, so make sure you study them all.

Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon?
Great food, no atmosphere.
