Dear Students:
This week we will begin Chapter 14, right after the evaluation for Chapter 13. This chapter is a continuation of the same topic: Oceans.
We will be covering important details about Ocean Zones, like:
• Exploring the Ocean
• Ocean habitats
• Resources from the Ocean
We will also be choosing our next project. For this chapter, you have several projects to choose from. All projects will then be shared with the class so we learn from other peoples work.
I would like you to focus on critical reading through our science content. Critical reading is the ability to draw useful information from a book or other source of material useful for the course. You should be applying two very important steps:
The first part —what to look for— involves recognizing those aspects that control the meaning.
The second part —how to think about what you find— involves the processes of inference, the interpretation of data from within the text.
Important Dates to keep in mind:
Key Terms Chapter 14 January 26
Chapter 14 Test February 2
Chapter 14 Work Pack February 2
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Science through the Earth Science Course for eighth grade. This course is widely described as a journey through Planet Earth and beyond our atmospheric boundaries. Students will study basic principles of Earth Science and will continue to use science tools, expand and build on their knowledge base, and work on their ability to comprehend science reading and to write clearly and coherently in the context of science.
