What We're Learning small medium large SCIENCE Welcome to 8th Grade Physical Science! This year science class will focus on two main areas: Chemistry and Physics. Incorporated throughout the year we will practice measuring skills and design/perform experiments. We just finished investigating bridges and how forces affect them. Next we're discussing the forces of friction and gravity. We'll be designing an experiement in which we'll test how different surfaces affect the amount of friction created. The students will also preform a virtual computer lab dealing with testing different surfaces. After that we'll learn about Newton's laws of motion and how motion and force relate. TIPS AND HINTS FOR PARENTS Check your child's agenda pad to see if homework has been completed. Check the homework assignment as well. Your child should be studying nightly information that they learned in school that day. Check your child's grade sheet to see how they are doing on test, quizzes, labs and other graded assignments. If your child is absent make sure they check with me to get and make up any missed work. They are still responsible for this work. Talk to your child ( in the car,during dinner) to see what they are learning in class. You might be able to share some knowledge with them or even learn something new yourself. Check out the links sites with your child to help reinforce the material we are learning or so you know more about what we are learning. Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions? Password: Forgot your password?
