Cooler Challenge...

Grade 7's... the big question is what are the two tpes of mixtures out there, and give an example of both!


Cheers~

Fantastic Fluids

Grade 8's... find 5 fluids in your home and order them from highest to lowest viscosity! The first person to do so and blog it successfully will be getting a little prize!


Cheers and Good luck!

8 Science

For this week because it is test week I am just going to remind ya'll that instead of being on the blog you should be studying!\\

Have a great night!

8 Science...

A couple of topics to brush up on for your test! 

Arteries vs. Veins...what are the differences?

4 components of blood- What are they made of and what are their roles?

Best of luck in your studies!

7 Science

Write a 4 line verse that explains either convection, conduction, or radiation! It can be a rap or whateverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! The top choice will get a prize! You have to be willing ot perform it.

Cheers

Hayward Science

Grade 8...

Heart Dissections this Thursday... be sure you understand the pathway of blood through the heart!

Check this out... it will get you ready for the rest of the week.

Hayward Blog goes World Wide!

How cool is this everyone!

All of these countries have been involved in the blog. Super duper cool!

8 Science....

Here is just something cool to check out!

it is a little gruesem....sort of.

8 Blogging assignment!

Grade 8's...

Here are your questions...be sure to post your answers with your first name and room number!

1. What are the only two organelles found in plant cells that are not present in animal cells?

2. What organelle is known as the jell-o of the cell, it allows organelles to move?

3. This cell organelle is selectively permeable... what is it?

4. Which cell part contains the DNA, the building blocks of the cell?

5. What does semi permeable mean?

6. How many chambers does the heart have?

7. If you go to the following site... http://science-of-aging.healthaliciousness.com/timelines/cell-history-timeline.php

          What was the contribution to cell theory made by Robert Hooke in 1653.

8. Bonus...find another contribution made to cell theory that is not on that website!

Grade 7 Blogging assignment

You will probably find it easier to jot your answers on a sheet of paper and then post at the end.

Question 1: What are the animals talked about in the National Geographic Video on my blog?
Question 2: What is the change of state going from solid to gas called?
Question 3: What is the website the I want you to go look at in the "Grade 7 and 8" latest post.
Question 4: What state of matter do we describe to the molecules as 'vibrating' in place.
Question 5: Give a brief description on how molecules of a gas move.
Question 6: What is one example in real life of a change of state?

Now Leave your name and room number!

Grade 7 and 8

Check out the following website...

www.wonderville.ca

cool science simulation games.

Grade 8: especially check out this deal!

Grade 7: Check out the..."In the Lab" Section

Congratulations....and What the Heck?

Congrats to the students  Madi and Danielle! They are our two grade 8 winners. 

The Grade 7's however are not getting in on this, they need to pick up the pace...I am still looking for a champion!

Grade 7 Challenge!

Well this is a special challenge only for the grade 7's.


Mr. Hayward has a one car garage, and a parking pad at his home. His wife uses the garage to stop frost from forming on the windshield during the cold winter. What is the name of this phase transition that Mr. Hayward's wife is trying to avoid?

Grade 8 Challenge!

Well I told you it would come so here it is...


The first student to answer these correctly will receive a special award, don't think this will be too simple...also be aware that there are two parts to the question! There is a chemical called ATP that is produced in cells. 


1. What process is this part of?


2. Where does this process occur in the cell?


To level the playing field no answers will be posted until the contest closes. Answers may only be submitted starting October 27th at 5:00!

ANSWERS!!

Well Congratulations must go to Madi in Grade 8 for a great answer to last weeks question. Honorable mention to Danielle!

The grade 7's...congrats to Shelby for the correct answer, and Saleem for a close 2nd!

Grade 8 Science:

Using our basic knowledge of cell organelles, which of them are visible in this image of a plant under a microscope?

Grade 7 Lab: Measuring Volume

1. Using your knowledge from our classroom lab procedure, explain to me the minimum number of steps it would take to collect 861mL of fluid using a 75 mL Graduated cylinder?


2. What is the volume of water in this graduated cylinder?

8 Science

Again this week we will dive into the mysteries of the organelles in our and plants basic unit of life. The cell! (No not that creepy film with J.Lo in it). A two part question:
         1. Of all the organelles discussed in class, which are the two that  are only found inside plant cells?
         2. Why do you think the plant cell has an extra layer of protection around it, and animal cells do not?

Bonus: This year's Nobel Prize in physics went to a pair of scientists who created a sheet of what molecule, just one atom thick!

7 Science Lab

Good morning grade sevens! This week you will be performing a volume measurement laboratory. This will help you master the skill of measuring different volumes of different quantities of liquids using graduated cylinders and beakers of varying sizes. In this light I pose a classic question that asks you to think about volume:

Question: You are given the task of measuring out 4 litres of water. You need exactly that much...no more no less or the world may explode(not really). You are given an unlimited supply of water, a 5 litre, and 3 litre jug. How do you do it?


Bonus: This question was featured in a classic action film with Samuel L. Jackson and  starring an actor with the initials B.W.! 

Bodies...the exhibition...

Well I have quite a few students who have been extremely interested in the Bodies exhibit in town. I am curious to hear your reflections on the exhibit. If you have had the chance to go, or do not wish to go and would like to explain why, feel free to make a comment! Please be careful regarding your comments as this is a sensitive issue. 


Talk to your parents if you would like further information.

THE ANSWERS!

Grade 7 Science:
The particle theory has 4 (Yes Izzy four... thank you) parts (you were only responsible for 3 for this blog), but by eliminating the science jargon we can get to the heart of the idea.
1. Everything is made of atoms!
2. Those atoms are always moving.
3. There have to be spaces between them...so they can move!
4. If we heat them up they go way faster. (kind of like if I locked you in a closet and turned up the heat! You would start to literally bounce off the walls to get out!)

Grade 8 Science:
Who was the mystery scientist? The quickest way to the solution would be to use a search engine and your notes of who the scientists involved in Cell theory are!
The answer is: Theodor Schwann, he helped to determine that all living things are made of cells, and that cells are the most basic unit of life!

The other Dudes are Schleiden, and Virchow!

A big thank you to ALL those who contributed. You are making this a success!
Congrats Dylan as the 1st grade 7 with the correct answer, and Faith combined with Janel's answer for the grade 8's!

7 Science

We are studying the Particle Theory of matter and I would like to know who was paying attention in class! What are 3 parts of the particle theory of matter? I will not accept any definitions from your notes...simplify them and make them your own!
     1. ?
     2. ?
     3. ?

8 Science

The following is an image of a scientist who made major contributions to Cell Theory...
who is it and what was their contribution?

Bonus** Who are the other main contributors to our current Cell Theory?

Mr. Hayward's Science Class

Welcome back to school, the first month is done. I would love to hear your highlight so far!
