 8th grade science- Earth Science

 

In eighth grade science, our focus is on using scientific practices and concepts to explore and learn about the earth and all things related to it. Students will work individually, in small groups, and as a whole class to find a deeper understanding of the processes that occur in, on and above the earth. Class assignments may include daily work, small group projects and/or whole group discussions.  As larger projects are assigned, students will have extended work time to complete them. Not all work will be completed in class, so students should expect to have some homework in this class. Students will also be using a composition notebook to organize their information, observations and investigations related to the topics we study.
