First Semester Science Standards
The purpose of this OER is to provide a service for 8th grade science teachers in Salem Kaiser. My hope is to give some really good STEM resources that align with the science standards and the curriculum provided by Salem Keizer school district, so you don't need to go digging.
Below you will find the table of contents that aligns with the scope and sequence for 8th grade science at Salem Kaiser school districts. I have provided three videos, three lessons and three STEM activities that align with each scope and the standards the district would like you to teach. On each page you will find a short description of what the videos, lessons and STEM activities are all about, all you have to do to view the resource is click on the picture and it will take you directly to the resource.
