Reading Like Writers

Stories stand out to us when we read thought-provoking lines. This week in grade 11 English, we learned about the craft of writing with numerous short stories by looking at how dialogue, action, and more all influence how the story makes us feel as readers. To end the unit, we used what we learned to share our own short stories.

Growing Knowledge

Have you ever wondered how plants stay hydrated? After learning about different types of plant cells, our grade 11 biology class took a closer look at a leaf and the epidermis layer of an onion bulb under a microscope. We examined how onion cells were affected by plasmolysis, a process that causes cells to contract due to water loss.

Telling Stories

The art of telling stories has always played an intrinsic role in society, stirring up distinct feelings within us. We started our unit on short stories this week in grade 11 English class, working on crafting character and developing backstory. The unit will culminate with each of us writing our own short stories.

Fun With Uncertainties

How precise is a ruler measurement? In our first grade 11 physics lab, we measured the dimensions of various solids using rulers and calipers to investigate the uncertainties of measuring tools. Using experimental data and our knowledge of regression and the method of quadratures, we calculated uncertainties and generated fits for our findings.
