Alien Invansion
Alien
Invasion
Using the knowledge you have of the Solar System, along with your
creative ideas, you are going to create an alien from another planet. Depending
on the characteristics and conditions of the planet, your alien must include
special features and/or adaptions that will enable it to survive in such an
environment.
Expectations:
-
Choose a planet in the solar system. You can also
choose the moon or the sun.
-
Research and gather important information about
your planet
-
Design at least 3 different features/adaptations
that your alien would need to survive life on this planet (e.g. size, special
glasses, fur, suction cup feet etc.)
The assignment will be divided
into three components:
Creature
Design: Using your knowledge of the planet, design a visual representation
of your alien with at least 3 special features that will require to survive on
the planet. The visual representation may be 2 or 3 dimensional. Your creature
will go towards your visual art mark. Some supplies will be provided in class
(e.g. Plasticine, pipe cleaners, googly eyes)
Written: Using
the graphic organizer provided in class describe the characteristic of the planet
and the adaptation/special feature that your alien has in order to survive the
condition. Be sure to give detail. This organizer will then act as a template
for the report. Please do NOT start the writing component until we cover it in
class as it follows a specific format. Mini lessons will be provided for each
section of the report
Differentiated
Instructional Activity- see activity sheet provided- Students must
choose one activity to complete. Put your creative juices to work to complete
one of the following questions. You can present your information in any way
that you choose. A list of ideas and possibilities has been provided. If you
have a different idea of how you want to present your answer, check with your
teacher to get approval.
1.
A Day in the Life of the Alien- Using your
knowledge of the planet and your own ideas, describe/explain what a typical day
would be like for your alien
2.
I’m
Hungry!- what would your alien eat in a typical day? Plan the menu using your
knowledge of the planet and your own ideas
3.
Home Sweet Home! Describe and demonstrate what the
alien’s shelter would be like and support why using your knowledge of the
planet
4.
Tennis Anyone! Describe/demonstrate a sport or
activity that your animal many be involved in
Taxi! How would your alien
get around? What might the modes of transportation be on your planet? You also have some flexibility to use your own idea. It needs to be approved by Mrs. Breau.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with :)
Have fun,
Mrs.Breau

Measurement Review
Hi Everyone,
Here is a measurement review for you to work through. We will also being doing some review in class. Please complete review for Monday, December 18th. Our math test is rescheduled for Tuesday, December 19th, 2017.
Helpful Hints
Perimeter= add up all
the sides of a shape
Area of a rectangle=
Length x Width
Area of a triangle= Base
x Height ÷2
Area of a parallelogram=
Base x Height
Volume of a rectangular
prism= Length x Width x height
Volume of a triangular
prism= Length x Width x Height ÷2
Surface area is the
total area of all of the faces or surfaces - Remember this will be done in 3 different steps
1. Select the most appropriate unit to measure each length or distance.
a) the thickness of a math text book
b) the thickness of your finger nail
c) the height of a maple tree
d) the lengths of the leaves of the tress
2. Louise is in a video store. What items in the store, might be measured in these units?
a) millimetres b) centimetres c) metres
3. Rename each measurement using the new unit. (mm, cm, dm, m, dam, hm. km)
a) 45.4 cm= ___________ m
b) 32 mm= ____________ dm
c) 453.2 g= ____________kg
d) 54 km= _____________cm
e) 2.145 cm=____________km
f) 321. 2 l= ___________kl
g)32.2 mg= ___________g
4, Find the area and perimeter of the irregular figures below. Show all your calculations and any formulas that you used.
5. Find the area of each of the 2-D shapes below.
6. Nina made a sun catcher from a parallelogram with a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm. She wants to make another one with twice the area. What base and height could she use for the new parallelogram. List two possibilities.
7. Maria's family built a rink in their backyard last year. The rink was a 6 m by 7 m rectangle. This year they are helping build a rink at the school. This rink will be four times the area of their backyard rink. What are two possible dimensions of the new rink?
3-D Measurement
8. Calculate the volume and surface area of the prism below. Show all your work.
