WELCOME TO 8 TH GRADE SCIENCE (Team 8C)

Christine Adam - Science Born in Cleveland, Ohio Grew up in Simi Valley, California Graduated UC Irvine with B.A. (2010) Graduated ASU with a M. in Secondary Science Education (2012) 7th year teaching Middle School Science, 1st year at AMS Love to swim, hike & travel Play the bassoon

The 8 th Grade Science Curriculum The KSD Science curriculum is aligned with both Arizona State and National Science Standards for middle school students

8 th Grade Curriculum Chemistry –Properties and Changes of Properties in Matter –Periodic Table and Chemical Interactions (Periodic Table Children’s Book) Physics –Relationship Between Force and Motion –Newton’s 3 Law’s of Motion –Simple Machines (Rube Goldberg Project)Rube Goldberg Project

8 th Grade Curriculum Cells and Genetics –Meiosis and Mitosis –Basic Principals of Heredity Ecology –Diversity, Adaptation and Behavior –Identify Plant and Animal Adaptations –Science in Personal and Social Perspective

Engages students in the investigative nature of science Students answer questions generated by teachers Students explore questions on their own Students experience what scientists do Inquiry Program

Extras Homework: 2-4 nights a week (whatever students do not finish in class) At home projects: 1 per quarter Quizzes/Tests/labs: at least once per week Grading: –80% assessments: quizzes, tests, exams, labs –20%: participation: (warm-up. Practice classwork and homework) ***Students required to keep science notebook*** No text books for home information needed will be in Science notebook

Does this sound familiar?? I can’t find my notes…. homework… quizzes I can’ remember what we did yesterday in class….. I was absent last week and can’t find my notes…..

Here is the answer… Interactive Notebook

What is an interactive notebook? A place to record information Enables the student to process ideas and make connections Culmination of student work throughout the year Demonstrates content learned and reflective knowledge by the student

Requirements for Success

ATTENDANCE –It is important for students to be in class on time everyday. –Lab work can not be made up, but alternate assignments will be given at the teachers discretion. –It is the student’s responsibility to find out what was missed. WORK COMPLETION –Student work must be turned in on time. If homework is turned in one day late, students will earn 50%. Ten percent will be deducted for every day a project or lab write-up is late!

My Goals as an Educator Influence my students to prepare themselves to become successful, self confident, self sufficient citizens. Teach them to be life long learners.

How do I connect these goals to learning science? engage students in the process of learning science encourage students to use scientific evidence to make decisions help educate tomorrow's citizens about the application of science in everyday life.

Lets work together to achieve our common goals
