The Mandatory Numeracy Assessment tests set out by the BC Ministry of Education take place in the Science 10 periods on Oct. 30-31, 2023

The Grade 10 Numeracy Assessment is a provincial assessment that assesses student proficiency in numeracy. It is a graduation requirement and students take the assessment in their Grade 10 year.

The Grade 10 Numeracy Assessment focuses on the application of mathematical concepts learned across multiple subjects from kindergarten to Grade 10. It requires  students to solve problems by using five numeracy processes (different ways of thinking and working): interpret, apply, solve, analyze and communicate. The numeracy processes are described in the pre-assessment activities and in the specifications.

Students are able to complete pre-assessment activities by visititing the Ministry’s preparation page.

Vaping:  What you need to know? (link to article)

Despite the term “vaping” that’s associated with e-cigarettes, the devices produce an aerosol mist—not a vapour.

What’s the difference between a mist and a vapour?

An aerosol is the suspension of tiny solid or liquid particles in a gas. Clouds, mist, and fog are examples of aerosols.

A vapour is the gas phase of a substance that is typically solid or liquid at room temperature. Chlorine, for example, is a gas at room temperature so we refer to Cl₂ as chlorine gas, not a vapour.  Water, on the other hand, is a liquid at room temperature. So, when water molecules are in the gas phase, we refer to them as water vapor

How does the mist affect the lining of the lungs?

10 Fast facts:

Q:  How to defeat a detector?

A:  Exhale into the toilet and flush this creates a vacuum that sucks the aerosol into the pipes. “There’s nothing we can do about that,” – “There’s no sensing that could ever change the laws of physics.”
