Grade 8 Life Science Curriculum Map

The curriculum map outlines the science topics covered each month for an 8th grade science class over the school year. In September, students review the scientific method and metric system. In October, they study classifying and describing matter. November focuses on states of matter, the periodic table, and chemical reactions. December covers earth science topics like the interior of Earth and heat transfer. January delves into earth's topography and geologic time. Throughout the year, skills of scientific inquiry are practiced. Major units include physical science in the first semester and life science in the second semester, with common assessments each semester.
