Course outline - Science 8
The course is centered around big ideas that point towards the content of the course.
The curricular competencies are skills that you should be able to do by the end of the course. Some marks each term will be assigned on your ability to meet the curricular competencies of this course.
The four main units of Science 8 are:
- the cell and immune system (biology)
- kinetic molecular theory and structure of atoms, molecules (chemistry)
- plate tectonics and changes to earth over time (earth science)
- light and the electromagnetic spectrum (physics + biology)

Classroom expectations...
My very short list of expectations is:
- Be respectful (to yourself, to me and to others)
- Take your earbuds out and stay off your phone. My tolerance for phone use during class time is very low... close to zero.
- Do your best (YOUR best may look different from others, and that's totally OK)
- Keep up with missed work by connecting with other students in class, checking MS Teams and my website
- Always recycle & minimize your use of single-use plastic items (that's things like ziploc bags, bottled water, plastic cutlery, etc...)
