Welcome to my Science Website! 

Here, I will share some of the things that I am 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 our cicada lab, Wonder Journals, Hungry Sphero  Challenge, the microscopy lab, and water quality testing. My favorite was the water testing.

Updates for October, November, and December 

Over the course of this month we have have done the quake feed app, water testing, how old is earth, and Plate tectonic. I like doing projects with groups. For example i liked doing the build a house project because we had some freedom in building. I also like when we do sketch notes because we can be creative with our writing and our drawling. Some things that i need to get better at are when we do sketch notes not overthinking it and just taking my creativity where it wants to. Overall i really like when we do hands on activities and not just sit there and read a book. Hands on activities for me are a way better way of learning then sitting and reading a book. I enjoyed when we did the Geologic time period walk outside because we got fresh air and got to move around. Seeing the papers on the fence also helped me learn more. That's a good summary about what we have been doing this year. 

Updates for January, February, and March

Somethings we did for these months were Van de graaff generator. I did not participate in it but i watched. It was cool seeing everybody's hair pop up and when they shocked people it was kind of funny. Another one that i enjoyed was the stream table. It was interesting seeing the water make canals and little streams. The last one that i liked was doing sketchnotes. We did a Force and Motion and a Static Charge Video one. Those were some activities that i loved doing throughout these past months.

Updates For April and May 

The frogbit project was one of my favorite projects because I created a bumper sticker. It was fun having freedom with this project and creating fun catch phrases. Our catch phrase was If you see frobbit pull it. This is one of the many projects i enjoyed. 

Another fun project was the Rock Pocket Mouse Project. I enjoyed this project because it was interesting learning about it. I did it on the paper app and it was really cool. I also enjoyed this project a lot. 

Final thoughts of 8th grade 

The thing i enjoyed the most this year was the hands on activities and project. This is my favorite thing we did this year because I like working together and doing hands on activities. My least favorite thing this year was doing gizmos. I did not like doing this because it takes forever and it's boring.  I would like to learn more about Life science because I think it is an interesting topic.
