8th grade science is an introductory survey course in physical science – the study of matter and energy and how they affect each other. Specific topics we consider include force, motion, energy, the particles of matter, and how matter interacts chemically. Students will also have the opportunity to explore specific topics in Biology that dovetail with their investigations in physics and chemistry in order to help prepare them for upper school courses. This will include looking at chemical interactions in the human body and discussing the flow of energy in the biosphere.
