Eighth Grade
Rationale:
The importance of mastery skills at the 8 th grade level cannot be understated. Skills mastered here are vital to their success at the high
school level and serve as a springboard to advanced scientific studies. Hand-on investigations are very important in demonstrating the
reality of scientific concepts and their application to real-world problems. Much emphasis is placed on the use of technology in
scientific investigations in order for our students to be prepared for its use at higher levels.
Course Description:
The eighth grade science curriculum will reinforce and build upon those science concepts introduced in the earlier middle school
grades, refine the investigative skills needed to learn about the world around them, introduce science concepts that will be mastered in
high school, develop an understanding of the practical applications of science.
