Science
8th Grade
8th grade Science is a year-long course focused on Physical Science, Earth Science, and Life Science.
I teach a rigorous curriculum through AmplifyScience that is aligned with the Core Knowledge sequence and the Next Generation Science Standards.
Grades are posted regularly in Pinnacle Gradebook. To find your login information, click here.
Students complete daily classwork in their spiral-bound Science Notebooks:
We maintain a common table of contents.
Page numbers may vary between students.
Each notebook assignment receives a Stamp of Approval when complete.
Stamps add up to a notebook grade at the end of each unit.
Click on an Assignment title in the adjacent spreadsheet to view the slides or printouts.
Paper copies of all past assignments are available in an organized file bin in the back of our classroom.
Announcements and assignments are posted daily in Google Classroom.
