Welcome to Science 8!
|
1st & 2nd Hour
|
The 8th grade science students will study Earth Science and general science themes. The main topics of study include: Inquiry analysis, scientific method, data analysis, Earth's Water and Atmosphere, Geologic Process and History, Earth and Human Activity, and Space Science.
Throughout the course we will work on our reading and writing skills while learning about current events in science. Student's will do science inquiry activities to work on critical thinking and problem solving skills. We will do science WebQuests and use technology for projects. Towards the end of the year we will expand our knowledge of the vast universe by using the latest Discovery Education videos to build upon our textbook's information. I look forward to helping the 8th grade students build upon their science knowledge!
