System of Equations is a system of multiple equations with the same set of unknowns, when solving the equations your trying to find the unknown. These equations can be a linear or non linear equation. The project we were introduced to was trying to solve the…

Over the past couple of months since spring break our PLP 10 class has been learning about WWII. This new unit takes off from where we left off in the interwar years, where we learned…
Linear Equations and Renewable Energy
For the past couple of months in science we have been learning about Energy which has been our grade 10 physics unit. At the same time in math we were learning about linear equations and graphs which we incorporate both into one big unit project. Once we were introduced into this unit we created a mind map of what we…
All The Light We Cannot See
Recently in our PLP class we have been learning about the Second World War.

Destination Imagination is a program that embraces some of the core aspects we…
Elephant toothpaste
For the past couple of months in Science we have been learning about chemistry. This has been a pretty big unit that at times has been difficult to grasp different concepts or ideas. Overall this unit has been very fun especially when we get to do experiments in class to demonstrate our understanding. One of the the first things we…
Mathathon: A Race To The Finish!
During this past term we started a new math unit and learned about polynomials. To help us better understand this unit we went the basics to make sure we had an understanding of prime factors, powers and a couple simple expressions. We also learned how to convert mixed radical numbers to entire radicals. While we were learning about these we…
Disruption Essay and Podcast
Since January we have been working on a unit about disruption, based around the question: how has technology been a disruption throughout history.
