8th grade Conceptual Physics requires an approach to physical science that will stimulate higher
cognitive skills and encourage the students to see science everywhere. Scholars can expect to encounter
a three-step learning process: building understanding through exploration, developing comprehension
through demonstrations, and applying what has been learned through a variety of inquiry-based
activities. Conceptual physics will maximize the use of a student’s personal experience in the everyday
world in their everyday language. The equations encountered will serve as guides to thinking and
understanding the world around us.
