Science Home Learning Y8
Recommended Homework
We recommend that students complete 45 mins of Science homework each week. We have Education Perfect tasks assigned weekly and this is a great way for students to reinforce their knowledge of content taught in class and to extend beyond the curriculum.
Throughout his term we will be learning about
8H - Rocks - where we look into the world of Earth Science (our current topic)
8I - Fluids - where we will be looking at the particle and how states of matter can change.
In honor of the Earthy theme of this term your recommended challenge for science over the next few weeks is:
Your Challenge:
In this challenge, think about creative ways to change,
remove, reuse, or repurpose these byproducts.
Here are some ideas!
Learn about the history of the industrial revolution and how this created new chemical compounds. Define “industrial byproduct.”
Maybe biology could help us find a microbe that eats trash.
Or chemistry might show us a way to turn car exhaust into fuel!
Learn about industrial byproducts and identify byproducts in their daily lives.
Or think about how academic disciplines—all the subjects you study in school
—overlap and how we can combine those disciplines to better understand a problem.
Develop an idea for repurposing an industrial byproduct
and sketch out a plan from designing to prototyping to testing.
Final projects can be representations of these ideas in action, including models, animations, visual art, videos, and more!
Video your creation, and email it to your Science teacher, and Ms. Roughley.
If you would like to show case your idea/creation then you can do so in the last week of school before the end of term.
Think big and have fun!
