Mr. Wood’s Science Blog

Over the past two weeks we have been talking about the history of atomic theory.  Choose one of the scientists whose ideas contributed to modern atomic theory.  Describe their ideas and how their discovery is important to what we now know about atoms.  This assignment must be completed by Friday (12/1) at 8am.

This week we will be taking our Trimester 1 Common Final. Throughout this trimester I have said things like “you will probably see that on the final” and “put a giant star next to that one, you will likely see it again.” Post a question and correct answer you think will likely be on Thursday’s final. You need to complete this assignment by Thursday at 8am.

Mr. Wood

This week we are learning about the three main types of mixtures: solutions, suspensions, and colloids. Post an example of each and explain how they are different from each other. If you are having trouble thinking of ideas take a look in your refrigerator. You will find many ideas there. I always do!

Mr. Wood

The first trimester of your 8th grade year is wrapping up in a few weeks. What do you think of 8th grade and science so far? Do you like using the laptops?  Are you happy with Moodle? What do you like about Moodle?  What would you change? Do you like what we have been doing in class? What are you hoping to see in the second and third trimesters? Post your ideas and let me know.

Mr. Wood

Welcome to the blog for Mr. Wood’s 8th grade Physical Science class. This will be your place for posting your thoughts and ideas about our class. I look forward to reading your posts!
