Social Studies
Welcome to eighth grade social studies!  
In eighth grade students will explore the history of North American and the founding of the United States up until the Civil War. The goal for students in eighth grade is to become historical detectives.  Students will analyze primary source documents and explore various points of view to learn a more complex and complete history.  Students examine tribal sovereignty and what it means to be a nation within a nation.  In eighth grade students learn the structures of state and federal government.  
Students read and discuss current news through Jr. Scholastic magazines.  The eighth  graders will work independently and practice collaboration in small groups.  Over the course of a school year students will annotate and label timelines, label historical and current maps,  analyze primary source documents, write historical narratives from a variety of perspectives, and apply essential questions to each time period.  Students will participate in historical simulations, mock trials, and Socratic seminars.

Science
The 8th grade physical science curriculum covers a range of topics including the properties and behavior of matter, energy, waves, and forces. Students will learn about the periodic table and atomic structure, chemical reactions and equations, and the properties of acids and bases. They will also study the concepts of work, power, and energy, and learn about the different types of waves and how they interact with matter. Finally, they will explore the principles of motion and forces, including Newton's laws of motion, momentum, and gravity. This curriculum is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the basic principles of physical science, preparing them for more advanced studies in high school and beyond.
