Homework - March 31st to April 4th

Grade 7 Homework

Mon. March 31^st to Fri. April 4^th

Announcements: 

No KCC Youth this week – It starts up again next week.   

COME HEAR PHIL CALLAWAY!!!! Phil is a Christian humorist and bestselling author.  He is a close personal friend to Mr. R and I and has agreed to come to do this for our school taking NO PAYMENT even though he usually gets $5,000 to $10,000 for an engagement.  PLEASE come and support the school on Wednesday, April 2nd, 7:00 pm at KCC Tickets are only $10.00 each and can be bought at the school office or at the door.  Bring a friend, be blessed, laugh, and support the school.

Weekly Challenge:  To get back into the swing of things, the weekly challenge is to have breakfast every morning.  This is what will qualify as “having breakfast” – you must have a drink, and a breakfast meal such as; a bowl of cereal, toast, eggs, granola bar.  Smoothies can count if they contain healthy ingredients.  

Social Studies:  Hopefully, after I have given you the souvenirs I brought you from Europe and showed you my pictures of Ancient Greece, we will have a renewed interest in studying it.  This week we will continue reading and answering questions from Chapter 6 in our Social Studies Textbook.  

Bible Memory:  I have decided that it is better to know some important verses very well than a whole bunch of verses sort of well, so we are not going to be memorizing any new verses this year.  We are going to practice the old verses until we have truly hidden those words in our hearts.  So, this week, we want to review the verses John 1:12 and Ephesians 2: 8-10  We will have the fill in the blank quiz on Friday, April 4^th. 

John 1:12      Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

Ephesians 2:8-10      For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.  For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Plan for Tuesday, March 11th

Good morning everyone!  I am sorry I cannot be here today, but I now know exactly how Brian Regan felt in this sketch.  Truly, all my insides seem to want to be on the outside.  :(  Yuck!

Play this for a laugh at my expense.  I don't mind:  How Mrs. Robideau is feeling.

I will let you know if I am doing better by lunch time.  Right now I am pretty shaky and not sure if my insides will stay inside.

Go for the walk after we pray.  Please pray for Mrs. Robideau and Mrs. Ranchoux who is still experiencing back spasms.  

Today let's start reading through Chapter 6 in our Social Studies text book. We are starting our study of Ancient Greece.   I would like you to use the computers to answer the Check Up Questions.  You don't have to write the questions out if you answer in complete sentences.  Here is the format I would like you to use:

Chapter 6: Checkup #1

1.  The ancestor of the Greeks was Japheth’s son, Javan.

2.  The Minoans built their culture ion the island of Crete.

After you finish a check up, you get to watch a Horrible Histories as a treat.  

Come back, get computers and work away.  Here are the links to the Horrible History treats:

Athenian and Spartan Wife Swap 

Words We Get From the Greek 
Battle of Thermopylae

Bible Memory – Friday morning

John 3:16,17

Science Study Notes for Quiz Monday Afternoon

Science 7 – Chemistry – Mass and Volume

1.  What is the definition of matter?

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.

2.  What is mass?  Does a substance’s mass ever change?

Mass is an object that measures the amount of matter in another object. No, an object’s mass stays constant everywhere in the universe.

3.  How is mass measured?

When you measure the mass of an object on a balance or a scale, you are measuring the mass directly. Mass is measured by the formula, Mass of water = (mass of container + water) – mass of container.   It is measured in milligrams, grams and kilograms. 

4.  What is the difference between volume and mass?

Volume is a measure of the amount of space that is occupied by matter. Mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter in the object.

5.  What do you use to measure the volume of a liquid?

You use a graduated cylinder which is a tall, narrow container with a scale of numbers on the side to measure the volume of a liquid.

6.  What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular solid? 

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular solid is:

Volume = length x width x height.

7.  How is it possible to measure the volume of an irregular solid?

It is possible to measure the volume of an irregular solid by putting the irregular solid in a graduated cylinder the right size it will fit in and measuring the displacement of water.  

8.  What is an everyday situation in which measuring mass and volume is important?

An everyday situation in which measuring mass and volume is important is when taking medication for a cold would help you to know how much of a dosage to take.   Another situation could be when you are cooking baking.
