8th Grade Science

Eighth grade science has a very rich curriculum, which covers a variety of topics.  For example, we will cover topics in live science, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy.  We will incorporate as much hands on learning as possible throughout the year, so there will be variety of projects and lab activities.
