Welcome to 8th grade general science at Urbana Middle School. Throughout the semester we will study three modules covering variations in Nature, Energy and Space. The class focus is to apply key concepts to hands-on activities and labs to make meaningful connections to the real world and ultimately create life long learning skills.
Objectives for the week of 5-18-09
-
