In the eighth grade, students will study chemistry and physics in the Physical Science program. The main focus will be on matter and energy, and how they can be utilized for the benefit of humanity. Topics covered include the composition of matter, the atom, movement, energy, basic machines, magnetism, waves, light, sound, and energy sources. Students will also have the opportunity to conduct hands-on experiments and explore real-world applications of these concepts.
Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to think critically and creatively, as well as develop their problem-solving skills. They will also learn how to use scientific tools and techniques to gather and analyze data, and communicate their findings effectively.
By the end of this course, students will have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of chemistry and physics, setting them up for success in their future science studies. They will also have a better understanding of the world around them and how science plays a crucial role in our daily lives.
