Curriculum Post # 2: Science
Good afternoon,
Students:
As you know, we have been discussing the human body in science class over the past couple of weeks. I have found a great resource for you all that will help you to review the cell parts and functions. There are many other resources on this site, but I thought that this one was the most helpful! Feel free to explore this website on your own and bring your findings to class on Wednesday! Click here to check it out!
Parents:
This week we are focusing on reviewing our knowledge of the cell and cell parts before moving on and discussing more advanced topics concerning the human body. The activity that I have posted above focuses on the science curriculum strand: Understanding Life Systems (Cells) and covers the following specific expectations:
Feel free to check out the website with the students and encourage them to explore the website as well. The website does not contain any advertisements or inappropriate content so it should be safe for the students to look through. The link is posted above.

3.1 demonstrate an understanding of the postulates of the cell theory
3.2 identify structures and organelles in cells,including the nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole, mitochondria, and cytoplasm, and explain the basic functions of each

Hello Everyone!
I have come across this resource while working online this past week. It is an excellent resource for reviewing key concepts and getting involved in interactive activities that reinforce knowledge. You do have to make an account in order to participate in the activities. I have done this and have no received any unwanted spam mail as a result! I am hoping that you all take advantage of this great site and use it for all of your classes as a tool. Explore and let me know what you find out!! Click here to visit the site.
Hope you are having an excellent Monday,
Miss Johnson

Connections to the Curriculum Post: Mathematics
Hello all!
Students:
I found this great factor game online and decided to share it with you! It corresponds with what we are learning in class right now and is a fun way to review. Check it out and let me know what you think about it. We will be discussing factorization next class so make sure you understand the concepts in the game and have fun! Here is the link: http://www.hoodamath.com/games/factorfeeder.html.
Parents:
By the end of grade 8 mathematics, students are expected to have covered many overall and specific expectations. The game link that I have posted for students highlights and matches up with some of these key expectations. Primarily, this game requires students to use problem solving skills in order to guide their game player through the game board. They are also required to use their comprehension of factors and other computational strategies to complete each level. These actions fall under 2 of the 3 overall expectations in the Number Sense and Numeration strand in the curriculum documents. These expectations are as follows:
More specifically, the game requires participants to determine common factors and common multiples while they are playing. This is specific expectation that is also covered in the grade 8 curriculum documents:
- Determine common factors and common multiples using the prime factorization of numbers
I hope that everyone gets a chance to play or look at the game on their free time! It is a great resource to have and a fun way to practice your factoring!

Helpful Website # 3
I am sure that this is nothing new, but Youtube is a great resource for finding educational videos that support what we are learning in class. I know that personally, I am a visual learner and watching videos really allows me to picture the information that I am learning. Let me know what you think!!

Helpful Website #2
I really like the Bitstrips website! It allows students to express written word through a comic-book style animation. Students can create their own avatars, diction, settings and stories, while covering the Ontario language curriculum expectations. Check it out!
Helpful Website #1
Pinterest is a great resource for searching the web and organizing thoughts for school projects. Simply by typing a keyword into the search bar, Pinterest generates a wide array of pictures and links that are very helpful and helps to get the creative juices flowing! Here is my Pinterest page, which allow you all to get to know me and my interests a little bit better. Feel free to check it out!
