Here i will be sharing some of the things i will be learning in 8th grade science. 

Our monthly goals will also be described. The goal for August and September was curiosity. Activities that we did for this were like the microscopy lab, a Wonder Journal, water testing, a cicada lab, and Hungry Hungry Sphero Challenge

My favorite was the cicada lab because i got to see what it looks like inside of a cicada.

What i have liked so far this year in 8th grade during the months of October, November, and December was when we got to go outside and go to a bridge near our school to do some Water Quality Testing. This has been my favorite so far this year because it was fun to get to go out and see how clean the water in the lake near us is. It turned out that the water was not so clean. We were in a spot where a small type of river goes and connects to the lake. The spot of the river we were at looked not so clean because there was a lot of trash that we could see. 

I bet that the part of the river where its connects to the lake is more clean because the lake is right there. This was one of the easier projects for me since i do not really have a good grade  in Science class. I had a lot of fun doing this project and i think that it would be pretty cool for our class to have another chance to get to go do some more Water Quality Testing this year on a nice day with good weather. And if that day does come i think that our class should go to a different spot instead of going to the other 2 spots that we already went to in our area. But overall this has been my favorite project this year in science so far and i hope to get to do Water Quality Testing in the future.

• Geology Book Creator

• Newtons Cradle

• Build a Launcher Challenge 

• Experiment- Film Canister, Shoe Friction, Pendulum Ohio toxic spill this was fun because we got to learn about what happened in East Palestine Ohio when a train derailed and a lot of toxic liquids spilled all over and those toxic liquids can cause cancer which was not good, and it also killed a lot of fish because the toxic liquids got into a river near by. And if anyone who lived in the little town went outside it would cause them to cough.

• Van de graft generator was fun because we got to shock our selfs with electricity
