Created exclusively for Mr. Erickson’s 8th grade science class!!!

Class expectations:
You will take responsibility for your own education. This includes periodically checking your grade, check the assignment wall, and the web site. You are also responsible for making up any work that you miss due to absences.

In addition, If at any time you are confused or need help, please ask!!! I can be available before school, after school or during lunch, please let me know and I will make time for you.

Class rule: I only have 1 rule… Do not cause a problem for yourself or others!!!

These are the units we will study throughout the year:

  • Particles and Partial movement
  • Density and Buoyancy
  • Chemistry and Chemical Reactions
  • Inventions
  • Forces and Motion
  • Astronomy
  • Health Ed

Your Grade will consist of the following:

  • Weekly Packets- Assignments that you will do in class and for homework, due every Friday.
  • Problem of the Week (POW)- a weekly (or semi-weekly) check to make sure you understand the concepts we are learning in class.
  • Lab Notebook- An organized group of write-ups that you will complete for labs we do in class. They will be stamped off in class.
  • Tests- At or near the end of a unit and or semester we will have a test.

8th Grade Science Fact Sheet:

You will be given a “fact sheet”. This sheet contains 81 facts that you need to know for science in 8th grade this year. This will be assessed in 2 ways:

  • Friday Fact tests
    • Every Friday you will be tested on 10 of these facts chosen randomly (9 from present and past units and 1 from future units.
    • This test will not be part of your science grade.
    • You will chart your scores thought the year. .
  • Big Kahuna Fact Test
    • At the end of the quarter you will be given a “Big Kahuna Fact Test”.
    • It is a multiple choice test with questions taken directly from the fact sheet from the units we have covered up to that point in the year.
    • The Big Kahuna Fact Test will be part of your science grade.
