Science Unit – ‘Inventions are all around us’ for our Invention Convention Phase Two:  Students will engage in several activities in class and at home as they build up their knowledge of the invention process to participate in creating their own invention or modification of something already in existence.

Homework Tonight or tomorrow night you need to do a blog entry on your Invention Convention Page where you write a 300 word summary of your favorite ‘New Inventor’ invention so far. Include some of the things we have discussed in class or written about on our response sheets such as usefulness and price if you remember them. Try and include a picture of it and/or a link to the New Inventor site. Check out the New Inventor site while you are there, it has some great ideas and is on ABC television in Australia.

Math – Having recently completed Unit 10, we have 2 units of study remaining. Unit 11 = Volume, Unit 12 = Probability, Ratios, and Rates. Unit 11 is a short but important unit and so far the students are making steady progress but I continue to encourage them that revision should be done every night; not just the evening before a unit test.
