Welcome to 8th grade Science at Hoover Middle School! In Science, we will be identifying problems, explaining phenomena, conducting research and determining solutions based on evidence. We will cover many areas of life science, earth science, and physical science. In our lessons we will explore space, research Earth's history, identify forces that control motion, discover why organisms vary in appearance, and examine traits that makes each one of us unique. We are excited to continue using the Discovery Education program again this year. We will also be using Flocabulary to build our science vocabulary. The Gizmos interactive simulations will be used to explore science concepts by making predictions, gathering data, and problem solving.

If you have any questions or concerns please send me and email. If I don't know there is a problem, I won't be able to help.
