Math Block Day 1 2.1.1	8.EE.7a. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers). 8.EE.7b. Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. 8.EE.7a. Dar ejemplos de ecuaciones lineales en una variable con una solución, infinitas soluciones, o sin soluciones. Demuestre cuál de estas posibilidades es el caso transformando sucesivamente la ecuación dada en formas más sencillas, hasta que resulte una ecuación equivalente de la forma x = a, a = a, o a = b (donde a y b son números diferentes). 8.EE.7b. Resolver ecuaciones lineales con coeficientes de números racionales, incluidas las ecuaciones cuyas soluciones requieren expresiones expansivas utilizando la propiedad distributiva y recogiendo términos similares.

Science Block Day 1 Activity 10	Students will be responsible for watching a video on how Frame of Reference changes depending on your viewpoint. Students will then answer all of the questions in activity 10, based on that video. Los estudiantes serán responsables de ver un video sobre cómo cambia el Marco de Referencia dependiendo de su punto de vista. Los estudiantes responderán a todas las preguntas de la actividad 10, basándose en ese video.
Science Block Day 2 Activity 11	Students will determine what effect gravity has on their ability to measure how fast a ball falls from different distances. Once students have made that determination, they will answer the questions in Activity 11 for Science. Los estudiantes determinarán el efecto que la gravedad tiene en su capacidad de medir la rapidez con la que una bola cae desde diferentes distancias. Una vez que los estudiantes hayan tomado esa determinación, responderán a las preguntas de la Actividad 11 de Ciencias.
Prepare	Start getting students prepared for the egg drop experiment. This will be a month long building experiment that will be assigned the first week of September, and will be due at the end of September. Empieza a preparar a los estudiantes para el experimento de la gota de huevo. Este será un experimento de construcción de un mes de duración que se asignará la primera semana de septiembre, y se llevará a cabo a finales de septiembre.

Hello Parents,

Students will be required to complete the work below, as well as two assignments that will be worked on over the holiday break. For Math, students will have a take home test that they will need to do. It will be posted on Friday the 18th, and it will be due before we return to school. For science, students will be asked to complete a food diary, as we focus on teaching the students how to read, and understand food labels, so they can make healthier and more informed eating decisions as they get older.
