8th Grade Science
Physics!!
Update 2/28/18
We have finished our Rube Goldberg project with some really awesome machines. Thank you for all your help in making the project great. We will be working with magnetism for the rest of the trimester and following that up with electric circuits.
Reminder the last day for any retakes for this trimester is March 9th.

We have started to study force, motion, and simple machines. We have just started our Rube Goldberg machine project. The students will have to complete a Rube Goldberg machine using each of the 6 simple machines (wedge, incline plain, screw, pulley, lever, and wheel and axle), to accomplish a simple task.

Chemistry!

We started our year working with tree identification to make a science connection to the Maine Studies tip. We then worked on chemical properties and signs of a chemical reaction. Now we are currently working on chemistry and balancing chemical equations.
