Science

Welcome to 8th Grade Science at Canyon Ridge Elementary School.

I am looking forward to a fantastic year with a great bunch of students. This year we will be learning about the scientific method, life science, chemistry and physics. In life science we will be reviewing the cell and its different organelles, going over mitosis and meiosis, DNA, and animal behavior. In chemistry we will be learning about properties of matter, periodic table, and chemical reactions. In physics we will explore Newton's three laws of motion. At part of these 3 major units will be three STEM projects. The first students will present an info graphic on genetically modified organism. The second project students will design and build a cooler to transport organs. The third students will work design a toy car that will accomplish at least 1 of 3 challenges.
