8th Grade Science Overview: Density, Buoyancy, and the Nervous System (Dec 1-6, 2013)

This document outlines the 8th-grade science learning targets and activities for the week of December 1-6, 2013. Students will explore key concepts like density, buoyancy, and the scientific method while engaging in hands-on labs and interactive digital resources. The curriculum emphasizes writing informative texts, analyzing scientific data, and distinguishing between investigation results and general conclusions. Students can expect quizzes and projects, including a phoneas gage introduction and neuron webquest activities, to enhance their understanding of the nervous system.
