Review for Science 

we will be writing our end of  unit test on Forces. The test will consist of a true and false section,
some short answer questions and some full sentence answer  questions based on the activities we have done in class.  Here are the main concepts that will be tested:

 A force is a push or pull that could cause movement.

 We studied 6 different forces:

o Gravity – A downward pull caused by the earth. It makes all objects fall at the same speed.

o Buoyancy – An upward push of a liquid or gas.

o Friction – The rubbing of two objects.

o Muscular Force – When humans or animals cause movement. It does not have the same affect on all objects.

o Static Electric – Occurs when there are charges in an object. Opposite charges attract, like charges repel.

o Magnetism – Occurs when poles are aligned. Opposite poles attract, similar poles repel.

 A force can change the speed, direction or shape of an object, as well as start and stop its movement.

 When forces are balanced they do not cause movement. When forces are unbalanced they do cause movement.

 Friction is something we attempt to control. Sometimes we want more friction (driving on ice), sometimes we want less (skiing).

 Humans make safety devices that use a force to stop movement (seatbelt).

 There are many forces in nature (erosion, landslides, etc), these forces can affect both nature and human environments.

Homework: Friday MAY 2 2014

o Math:  Math EQAO booklet - Due Monday. In One page Tell me everything you know about 3-D shapes (concepts, 3-D shape names etc.)

o Language: "My project" summary due Wednesday. Reading Comprehension (Poetry) Monday

o Social Studies: Students ARE NOT REQUIRED to go out and buy already made objects for their social studies first nations and urban communities. The idea is to give students the opportunity to be creative and to find everyday material to create the diorama communities. Please encourage your child to make trees, people, animals from clay or paper. If students already have objects (small animal toys) at home they can use that's fine as well. Again, parents you are not required to buy anything.

**For students who did not complete their spelling stories for this week - here is the list

1. march
2. master
3. meal
4. mind
5. month
6. notice
7. October
