Grade 7 Homework Sheet

 Tuesday, March 29^th to Friday, April 1^st

   I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break and a Happy Easter celebrating our Lord and Saviour’s death and resurrection.  I am happy to be back and ready to enjoy our last few months together before you all head off to the Secondary.  Here are the announcements and homework for this week:

Relate Youth – Yes, there is KCC Youth tonight at 7:00.  There will be supper at my house starting at 4:30.  There will be a bottle run with Mrs. Kuelker starting at 3:15ish.  Please make sure you participate if you want supper.  J  It’s turkey soup!

Spring Break READATHON:  How did it go?  Did you read, read, read and GET THOSE SPONSORS!  Remember that the prizes are over the top!!! Everyone can win something!  Over $23,000 donated prizes.  Let’s go, Grade 7!  This is for our school and for those many students who wouldn’t be able to attend HCS without some financial assistance.  Let’s raise it for them! (Plus you can fill up your Reading Pyramid faster than ever)

Weekly Challenge: There is a new fad/therapy/craze in our culture right now that involves adult colouring as a form of relaxing, being artistic and connecting with our fine motor skills.  I created a grade 7 colouring book that focuses on Scripture verses and concepts we have been studying in Bible and Social Studies.  The challenge this week is to colour one page a day.  Students may use some class time for this (when appropriate) but not to the detriment of other school work. 

Bible Memory Quiz: Friday, April 1^st (this isn’t an April Fool’s Joke J)

Romans 12:2 (NIV)

² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Science Quiz Questions

You will need to know the answers to the following questions: 

1. What is the definition of matter?

Matter is defined as, anything that has mass and occupies volume/space.

2. What is mass?  Does a substance’s mass ever change?
The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter in the object. An object’s mass never changes it, it stays constant everywhere in the universe.

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

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular solid is this: Volume=length X width X height

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

It is possible to measure the volume of an irregular solid if you measure it by the water displacement method.  

Steps:

1. When measuring by displacement you fill a graduated cylinder with water until it is half full.  

2. You record the volume of water in the cylinder or container

3. Carefully add the solid and make sure it is completely submerged in the water.

4. Record the volume of the water plus the solid.  

5. Calculate the volume of the solid by this formula:

volume of solid = volume of water plus solid-volume of water

(You will not need to memorize the steps for the quiz, but it is good to understand them.)

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

An everyday situation in which measuring mass and volume something like measuring ingredients for baking, as baking requires precise measurement.  Volume is important when courier companies ship boxes and parcels to calculate shipping charges.

Weekly Challenge:  Use computers/phones only for school work at school – students cannot play games or watch videos or vines or ANYTHING that is not directly school related during school hours.  Eg.
