Welcome to Grade 8 Homeroom & 5th-8th Grade Science!

In our classroom, I strive to create inquiry-based lessons that encompass all learning styles. I am looking forward to sharing my Catholic faith and passion for science with all of my students this year! Science rocks!

Here is a brief overview for each grade level:
​
Fifth Grade: Fifth grade will be learning integrated science. Integrated science covers content from various scientific disciplines including ecosystems, astronomy, human impact, and interactions between matter.

6th Grade: Sixth graders will be learning Earth Science. Earth Science explores the earth and its atmosphere. The topics covered in this class include earth history, plate tectonics, the rock cycle, volcanoes, earthquakes, and astronomy.

7th Grade: Seventh graders will be learning Physical Science. Physical Science explores physics, chemistry, and astronomy. The topics covered in this class include energy, matter, forces, chemical reactions, and waves.

8th Grade: Eighth graders will be learning Life Science. Life Science explores the living aspects of Earth. The topics covered in this class are cells, cell processes, genetics, ecology, anatomy, and physiology. Students will have the opportunity to dissect frogs at the end of the year following our anatomy and physiology exploration.
