Welcome to 8th Grade Science, we are excited to share our love of our natural world with you.  This year we will be studying many different aspects of the world we live in and how different things effect our world.

The year will consist of the following:

1st Semester:

• Structure of the Atom and Periodic Table
• Chemical Reactions and Equations
• Cyclical Motions of the Earth, Moon and Sun
• Role of Oceans and Weather
• Forces and Motion

2nd Semester:

• Earth's Changing Surface
• Ecology
• Components of the Universe
• Worth the Wait (Sex Ed)

Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
