8th Grade Science
Required Curriculum
Available to Grades 8th
The 8th grade science course offers the students experience in each of the three major fields of science (physics, chemistry, and biology) before they make the transition into high school. During the year students will undergo a detailed investigation of: electricity and magnetism; the physical, chemical, and reactive properties of different substances; reproduction and genetics; and a unit on earth and space science. Whenever possible, these topics are developed with a very "hands-on" approach so that the students can easily make connections between what they study in class and the world around them.
