This course is aligned with the Common Core Standards for 8th grade mathematics and focuses on three critical areas.
First, the students will learn to formulate expressions and equations, show the association of data with a linear equation, and to solve linear equations. The students will become comfortable using the linear equation, y = mx + b. They will understand that m represents the rate of change of the two variables. In addition they will understand the graphs are lines through the origin. The students will become comfortable using a linear equation to describe the relationship between two values in bivariate data. They will also be able to solve problems with one linear equation and systems with two linear equations
Second, the students will learn to understand functions and to use a function to describe quantitative relationships. They will understand that functions help to describe situations where one quantity is dependent on another. Third, the students will learn to assess two- and three-dimensional shapes using distance, angle, and similarity using ideas about distance and angles and how they behave. The students will understand the Pythagorean Theorem and be able to explain why it is true. They will learn to use the theorem to find distances between points on the coordinate plane, to find lengths, and to analyze triangles. The students will complete their study of volume by learning to solve for the volume of cones, cylinders, and spheres.

Physical Science
M/J Physical Science Course Outline This course follows Florida’s Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for 8th grade science. This course offers a more in depth look at physical sciences, such as chemistry, physics, and astronomy. The students will review the nature of science and the steps of the scientific method.
The students will then learn what matter is and will review its phases. They will learn about elements and atoms, including the structure of and organization of atoms. The students will then learn about how and why atoms join together to form compounds and molecules. They will then learn the differences between mixtures and solutions and how a solution can be described. The students will then learn about the different types of chemical reactions that can occur. Radioactivity and radioactive isotopes will be explored so that the students will learn what they are and how radioactive exposure is changed by distance and time. The students will then learn about the different types of energy and how energy can be transformed from one type to another. They will explore work and simple machines, along with forces and motion. The students will learn about the properties of magnetism and electricity and how they are related to each other. The differences between temperature and heat will be explained while the students learn about how heat travels. Students will also learn about the nature of light and why some materials absorb light while others do not. They will review the process of photosynthesis, including how the process came to be understood by scientists.
Finally, the students will learn about the universe, including the stars, the Sun, and theories of the origin of the universe.
Course Objectives After completing the course, students will be able to:
Explain and use the methods and tools of scientific inquiry, applying them across scientific disciplines.. Identify properties of an atom, element, compound, and mixture, and apply knowledge to use of formulas and equations. Describe the concepts of friction, gravity, waves, and kinetic and potential energy. Apply knowledge of structure and function of organisms to categorize them taxonomically and compare and contrast across the taxonomic levels. Define and give examples of adaptations and explain how they apply to genetics and evolution. Describe energy flow in terms of food webs and trophic levels, involving biotic and abiotic components. Identify features of the major biomes. Describe the environmental cycles involving water, nitrogen, and carbon and discuss the global implications of altering them. Identify sources of environmental distress and discuss different measures that humans are taking, or may take in the future, to improve the health of the planet.
