GEOGRAPHY

Canada was settled by European explorers and traders.

Traders traded with the Aboriginal peoples They wanted things like fur and lumber to sell back in Europe.

They settled close to rivers or lakes because

- they wanted fresh water sources

-They wanted to be close to transportation routes (ships) to Europe

Canada was settled in 3 stages

- Forts

-Farms

-Towns

Some  towns became ghost towns when the single product disappeared. Single economy towns are towns where people made their money from one product

Towns with diversified economy are towns where money is made from many different businesses or industries. 

Multicultural towns are towns where people from many different cultural backgrounds live together. 

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world.  

There are 3 different patterns of settlement.

GRADE 8

Water is the universal solvent- most substances dissolve in it.  

We need water to live. It helps carry substances around our bodies.

SCIENCE

MATTER-  anything that takes up space and has mass

CHEMISTRY- the study of matter and its changes

SCIENCE

Today, the grade seven began their study on Substances.
We learned about the particle theory of matter. 

 Particle Theory states that:
 1. All matter is made up of tiny particles.
 2. All particles of one substance are the same.
 3. Different substances are made of different particles.
 4. Particles are always moving. (The more energy, the faster they move) 
5. There are attractive forces between particles. (Forces are stronger when particles are closer together) 

 We watched the video below
