Physical Science
In physical science you will learn about chemistry and physics. The first part of the school year our focus will be on chemistry. Students will learn about matter, physical and chemical changes, the Gas Laws, atoms, the periodic table, chemical reactions, and chemical bonding.
The last part of the school year our focus will be on physics. Students will learn about Newton's Laws, waves, energy, electromagnetism and heat. Throughout the year students will engage in engineering projects to help deepen scientific concepts. 8th Grade Back to School Information The "Box" balloon made by Matthew, Wes, Brett, Johnny, and Bobbi was last seen heading past Prairie Place Apartments.

2016 - New Record for the number of students to fit inside of a 8" x 5" index card goes to Brandi H.. The past record encompassed 22 people and was held by Jeffrey S. in 2014. Brandi was determined to beat his record and whittled away at her card until she was able to encircle all 26 of her classmates with room for at least 2 or 3 more.. Great Job Brandi!
