Welcome to 8th Grade Science
Hi Students & Families,
Hi Students & Families,
I am Mrs. Scarisbrick. Welcome to Science 8. I am passionate about learning and discovering new ways of looking at the world. I can't wait to embark upon our science adventure this year. You will routinely participate in activities and STEM labs. The class emphasizes a hands-on approach to science with the goal that students will learn science through doing science. Chemistry and the physics of our world will be explored in 8th grade science. I look forward to building a relationship with you and your family. Come to class curious and full of questions. Here's to the journey!

Most assignments should be completed in class so little homework should happen if students keeps up with assignments during class meets. If students do not complete the expected in-class assignments, then they will need to be completed outside of class time. At most 10-15 minutes of work may need to be completed outside of class. The goal is to complete it during class time.
