Eighth-Grade Science, Part 1

$249.00

GSCI 035 | Middle School | 0.50 Credit Hours

In this introduction to integrated physics and chemistry, students will begin their study of the natural world by looking at its smallest parts, atoms. They will then focus on how objects interact, including discussions of energy, motion, and force. Students will apply the concepts of force, motion, and work in a hands-on, simple-machines lesson. This is the first course in a two-part Eighth-Grade Science series.

    • There is no textbook that goes along with this course; it is a self-contained course. All of the information you need can be found in the units throughout this course.

      • If you have access to a physical science or life science (primarily physical science) textbook, you should consult it from time to time and try some practice problems. The more practice you get, the more logical and intuitive eighth-grade science will become to you.
