This website will allow you to find important information about your class. On this website you can find the slides and the link to the labs both here and on Google Classroom.

Science 8 Class overview

This year we will be exploring many aspects of science including Evolution, Interactions of the Sun/Earth/Moon, the Solar System, Forces and Motion, Waves, and Health. In addition to these scheduled topics, we will discuss current events in science. Also, during our Journal Club presentations, you will have the opportunity to present current scientific research findings to the class.

I'm looking forward to a year of exploration, learning, problem-solving, and fun.

About me

Hello, I'm Michael Abelmann, and I'm excited to be an 8th grade science teacher! This is my third consecutive year teaching at Pacific Trails Middle School. I have a Biological Sciences degree and an MBA from UC Irvine (Go Anteaters!). After college I worked in sales and marketing for cardiovascular medical device companies in California before becoming a teacher. I love sports - both playing and watching. When I am not teaching I am probably working on my golf game, watching the Red Sox, playing video games, playing my guitar or hanging out with my family (not necessarily in that order).
