Big Nate. 31, Remain calm! /

Peirce, Lincoln,


Middle school can be a hot mess, especially for sixth-grader Nate Wright. Whether he's bluffing his way through an oral report about...umm...some random war, peer-reviewing a classmate's story about cats, or writing a book report on a literary gem called The Cheerleader Chronicles, Nate's usually up to his eyeballs in stress. But our hero always finds ways to cope. Like bringing Spitsy to school as an emotional support dog. Or creating a graphic novel to (sort of) complete his math homework. Nate even authors a no-nonsense advice column with a title that says it all: Ask The Genius. So take a tip from P.S. 38's resident renaissance man: When problems start piling up, do what Nate does: REMAIN CALM

From Sea to Sea


From the Curio.ca streaming audio-visual collection. Episode 9: 1867 to 1873. Confederation is barely accomplished when the new dominion must face an enormous challenge: extending its reach into the vast prairies and beyond, to the Pacific Ocean. But Canada blunders catastrophically in seeking to take over the west without the consent of its inhabitants, especially the Métis of Red River and their leader, the charismatic, troubled Louis Riel. The resistance of 1869-70 lays the groundwork for Manitoba to join Canada, but it also sets the stage for decades of conflict over the rights of French and English, Catholic and Protestant in the new territories. Thanks to an audacious promise of a transcontinental railway in 10 years, the settlers of British Columbia are more easily convinced of the merits of union; by 1873 Prince Edward Island has joined as well, and Canada can boast a dominion that extends from sea to sea.

Ions


Everything around us, including ourselves, are made up of atoms. Atoms, in their basic form, consist of a nucleus with one or more positively charged protons - and an equal number of negatively charged electrons spinning around the nucleus. In this form they are electrically uncharged. But when they lose or gain an electron in their outermost shell they become charged, and change important properties. These types of atoms are called ions. In this film you will learn more about ions. You will get to know that atoms always try to achieve noble gas structure, which means a full number of electrons in the outermost electron shell, and that the electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons. Finally you will learn that substances on the far left of the periodic table form positive ions because they lose electrons, and substances on the far right of the periodic table form negative ions because they gain electrons.
