This is a reminder to students and parents/guardians that work is being posted to the "files" section of each class' science Teams page. If you are having trouble accessing this, please contact me at logan.bryenton@nbed.nb.ca

We will continue to meet for those who feel the need at 10-10:15 for 8E, 10:20-35 for 7/8E, and 10:40-55 for 6E.

If there are any other concerns, please contact me.

Please find the attached files for work today and tomorrow.  These are a review of the scientific method and of variables in science.

If you have any questions or need anything, please message me on Teams or check-in during our scheduled meeting time.

If you saw my post from Saturday about home learning, please know that there is a change of plans.

I will be meeting with classes for fifteen minute periods, with five minute breaks between classes.

8E- I will be meeting with you from 10:00-10:15 a.m.

7/8E- 10:20-10:35

6E- 10:40-10:55

These meetings are not mandatory. They are brief check-ins if you have any questions or if you want to pop-in for the social interactions. Meetings will be recorded and available for later viewing.

Work will be posted on Teams regularly.

Outside of these scheduled times, I will be able to answer messages and emails throughout the school day and we may be able to schedule a call if needed.

Parents/guardians- please email me at logan.bryenton@nbed.nb.ca if you need to contact me for any reason.

Please look over the results of yesterday's student vote (https://studentvote.ca/results/canada2021) and the results of the federal election (https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/federal/2021/results/). 

Think about what this says is the difference between what young Canadians want from their government and what adult Canadians want.

Here are a few news articles talking about different issues in Atlantic Canada.  Please pick one issue which you think is most important, and read the article covering it.

Youth Mental Helath: https://globalnews.ca/news/3356231/children-mental-health-atlantic-canada/

Fisheries: https://www.moon.com/travel/outdoors/top-environmental-issue-atlantic-ca...

Climate Change: https://www.nsenvironmentalnetwork.com/blog/climate-change-in-atlantic-c...

Shrinking and Aging Population: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/how-the-maritimes-became-c...

After readin about the issue you think is most important, look at the website of one of Canada's biggest political parties to see how they want to fix the issue, or if they even want to at all.

Liberal Party: https://liberal.ca/our-platform/

Conservative Party: https://www.conservative.ca/plan/

New Democratic Party (N.D.P.): https://www.ndp.ca/commitments

Green Party: https://www.greenparty.ca/en/platform

I am only asking you to look at one issue and one party, but if you want to look at more, feel free to! This is just for you to look at and think about yourself. :)

Please watch the videos in the following links:

Voting in a Democracy - YouTube

Why Voting Matters - YouTube

After watching these videos, think about these questions and consider the answers to yourself:

1) What is the role of government? Or what is government supposed to do?

2) What power do people have in a democracy?

3) Who makes decisions and laws in Canada?
