Fe8a math and science

Math
Last week was the week before march break and during that week we looked at probability. One example of what we did was the making and presentation of our "how many blades of grass are there in Glenview's field" poster. For this activity we had to our estimating and in some cases, geometry skills.the way me and Nathan solved it was we cut our diagram in to shapes we knew how to solve the area of like a square, triangle and rectangle. We were also allowed to use the internet to find facts
on how any blades of grass are in one meter and from there you go on to solve the answer.
Science
during the last week we took more notes which covered mostly the same material that I discussed in my last blog. Also we took a look at Google earth to see the tributaries of the don river and one of them is just behind our school that leads all the way to the lake. Also one important thing to think about is when you put salt on your driveway in the winter you are actually salting the lake.
