1.

Assignment: To design and construct a model of a typical animal or plant cell

Using reused and recycle materials or materials around your house construct a model of a typical cell. A plate will be given for the use of a base for your model.

Learning Goals (co-constructed): We will learn the parts and function of cells.

Success Criteria (co-constructed): See your class notes as they will differ from class to class

Who are scientists?

Lesson 2: Draw a picture of a scientist (with no additional instructions/directions)

Bias in scientific study

Critical thinking

Why do we do experiments?

What is the Scientific Method?

What is our social and environmental responsibility?

The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. The steps of the scientific method are to: Ask a Question Do Background Research Construct a Hypothesis Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion Communicate Your Results It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. A "fair test" occurs when you change only one factor (variable) and keep all other conditions the same. While scientists study how nature works, engineers create new things, such as products, websites, environments, and experiences. If your project involves creating or inventing something new, your project might better fit the steps of the Engineering Design Process. If you are not sure if your project is a scientific or engineering project, you should read Comparing the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method.

Welcome to the grade 8 science blog. This online information was created as a tool to assist students and caregivers in completing their academic year. Students were also assigned an etext, which is an online version of the class textbook. This text can be accessed anywhere via the internet. This saves the carrying of a relatively heavy text book back and fort from school. Students without internet access will have full access in the classroom and the school library. Any further questions please contact Ms. Zuberi. Have a great year of learning :)
