Science Index

 

We study Introductory Physical Science in 8th grade. This includes basic physics and chemistry. We started off the year learning some basic lab skills that we'll need all year long, like learning to measure mass, liquid volume, and the volume of irregularly shaped solids. We're also learning how to think creatively, and solve problems. As we display in these pictures, science is cool!

Please note: Not every lab is performed every year, as each year has it's own particular circumstances. The curriculum must have a certain amount of flexibility. Likewise, not every lab gets photographed every year.
