Students are focusing on combustible and non combustible minerals in Canada and how the price of both oil and gas has risen between 1970 and 2006. Students will look at the two types of mining and the effect of mining on the environment. We will have a quiz on the vocabulary at the end of the unit.
Grade 8
Students are finishing up unit 8 and will have a quiz on the vocabulary this week. We will also be starting our final chapter, Chapter 9 which will focus on Canada's diverse cultures.
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.
