This course is designed to ignite your curiosity and deepen your understanding of the world around you. Throughout the year, we will explore a variety of scientific topics, including the principles of the scientific method, the properties of matter, the forces that shape our planet, the basics of life science, and so much more! 

You will engage in hands-on experiments, interactive lessons, and collaborative projects that encourage you to think like a scientist. Together, we will investigate everything from the smallest atoms to the vastness of space, and discover how science impacts our daily lives. Get ready to ask questions, make discoveries, and develop the skills you need to understand and appreciate the world around us.

The curriculum for this course aligns with the West Virginia College and Career Readiness Standards for Science, developed by the West Virginia Department of Education.  We will primarily be using McGraw Hill’s Inspire Science as our reference material, however we will utilize multiple mediums to ensure all students have a solid understanding of each course topic. 

Current Unit Overview: This week, we will officially begin our first unit: Classification and States of Matter! We will start by exploring how matter can be classified before diving into the states of matter and the role of energy. Students will investigate how energy affects matter and how particles behave in solids, liquids, and gases. Throughout the week, we will build our understanding through readings, notes, vocabulary, and essay questions as we begin our first unit of 8th-grade science.
