Welcome to 8th grade Science!
Welcome to 8th Grade Earth Science! I am excited for the beginning of a new school year. Together we will learn many things about how the living world lives and interacts with other organisms on the planet. We will discuss many different topics throughout the year. On the following pages (use the menu bar above to navigate) you will find information about our classroom expectations, assignments, long range projects and upcoming tests, helpful homework tips and sites that increase student awareness in science, examples of student work and photos of student projects, and our classroom blog. I hope that you are excited about middle school science; I know I am. I cannot wait to meet you!
