Google Classrooms

Welcome Back,

I hope everyone had a restful break, and has been taking care. I am excited to resume learning with you all tomorrow! I have sent each student a link to their respective Google Classroom(s) through Gmail. Students should now be able to access these spaces. Future work, lessons, and assignments will be posted through the Google Classroom. Please let me know if you do not have access - make sure you are logged in to your educbe gmail account first!

See you there,

Ms. Ruuska

Online Resources

The CBE sent out an excellent list of ideas and websites to use for leaning while you are away from the school.

Please find the list here!

Solve Me Puzzles has some excellent math logic games for patterns (pre-algebra).

Let's Talk Science has several hands on activities you can try from home. I tried searching both structures (gr. 7) and found some fun things to try, and air (gr. 6) for some interesting articles.

If you are looking to practice math, do not forget about your Mathletics account!

I hope all is well!

Monday - Review Period and Study / What are forces?

“The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion.”
