20 GRADE 8 Overview: This course is designed to expand student investigation of physics, chemistry, and earth science. Aspects of physics are studied through laboratory investigations including sound, light, electricity, mechanics, motion, and energy. Aspects of chemistry are studied based on the Periodic Table of the Elements and through basic chemical laboratory investigations. Students study various concepts from geology, including geological landforms, plate tectonics, and volcanism as applied to the Alaskan environment.
