Integrated Science 8 A

Science 8 is an integrated course in which the fields of science are not compartmentalized. Instead, earth and space science, life science, and physical science are integrated within each semester. Semester A begins with instruction on the nature and history of science, and then moves into simple and compound machines; modern machines; Earth's history and structure; air, climate, and weather; and water. In the second semester, the course focuses on reproduction, heredity, and evolution; classification of living things; invertebrates and vertebrates; pollution; and human impacts on populations.Customer-Provided Required Physical Materials: common household materials
