WHAT WE COVER THIS YEAR
And so begins your exciting year in 8th grade science. This is the year you get to discover laws of motion, how forceful you can be, what you're made of, why your eyes are the color they are, and how to safely play with chemicals and elements.
Quarter 1: Physical Science
Physics and review the metric system
Motion and Forces (what's up Sir Isaac Newton?!?)
Quarter 2: Life Science
Cell Reproduction (hello mitosis my old friend, we've come to split again)
Heredity (would you like to Punnett Square dance with me? Nobody puts recessive in the corner.)
Diversity, Adaptation, and Behavior (I will survive)
Quarter 3: Physical Science
Chemistry (you will periodically have fun!)
Properties and Changes in Matter (why does it matter?!?!?)
Quarter 4: Physical Science
Chemistry (base-ically you learn it all)
Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter (are you positive?)
Quarters 1-4:
Inquiry Process (huh??)
History and Nature of Science (who discovered what?)
Science in Personal and Social Perspectives (have smart phones made us smarter?)
Physics and review the metric system
Motion and Forces (what's up Sir Isaac Newton?!?)
