8TH GRADE

Field Day Sign-Ups

8th grade science is devoted to a systems view of our world. While we recognize interactions and connections among the three major domains of science (physical, biological, and earth), this year we focus primarily on the physical and earth sciences.

Unit A: Systems

Unit 1: Earth Chemistry

Unit 2: Earth Processes

Unit 3: Earth Energy

Unit 4: Earth in Space

Unit B: End of the Year Showcase

Overarching Goals

• Why is a systems view of the world necessary in understanding science?
• How do we know what we know?
• How can we use what we learn to help make the world a better place?
