🎯 Course Overview

The Grade 8 Science course is designed to meet the Canadian curriculum standards, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of key scientific concepts. The course begins with an exploration of ecosystems, where students learn about the interactions between organisms and their environments. This unit emphasizes the importance of biodiversity and the impact of human activities on ecosystems.

Next, students delve into the particle theory of matter, exploring the properties and behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases. Through experiments and observations, they will understand how matter changes state and the implications of these changes in everyday life.

The course also covers the principles of forces and motion, where students investigate the effects of different forces on objects. They will learn about gravity, friction, and other forces, applying their knowledge to real-world scenarios.

Finally, the astronomy unit takes students on a journey through the universe, examining celestial bodies, the solar system, and the broader cosmos. This unit encourages students to think critically about the universe and our place within it.

Throughout the course, students will develop scientific inquiry skills, engage in collaborative projects, and prepare for more advanced science studies in high school.
