Dear Students:
I have decided to postpone your test to Chapter 19. The new date will be this coming Wednesday, April 6. The content of this chapter as well as the fact that we have reviewed the Scientific method thoroughly, has not allowed us to complete the content. Please make good use of this opportunity as we approach our mid –term reports, April 15.
Your Chapter projects have been assigned and will be presented April 13. Don’t forget this time a creative surprise is required. Look for one that will make your presentation memorable. Review the rubric and practice with your group.
We have reviewed the Scientific Method and have learned important terminology related to it. Please keep these terms in mind for they will be applied often in the course of Science.
Some of the goals we want to achieve through our presentations are:
1.Being able to communicate scientific ideas and activities clearly.
2.Students will be familiar with the character of scientific knowledge and inquiry and how it is achieved.
3.Practice sequencing and completing steps to accomplish specific tasks
4.Pose explanations based on evidence derived from one's own work.
Important Dates to keep in mind

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.
