Welcome
8B Science!
This year we will study a range of subjects from Newton's Three Laws of Motion, magnetism, waves and optics, fossils, and much more!
Please have one composition notebook dedicated to your science class. A pencil, graph paper, and loose paper are also a must-have. Optional but very helpful supplies to have of your own (I will have class sets but it's so nice to have your own if possible!) are colored pencils, a wooden ruler (metric, meaning centimeters), and scissors.

Reptile Research (do AFTER salamanders!)
Go to Tennessee Watchable Wildlife (link below-scroll); you may do this on a Word document or a small three-slide PowerPoint.
Choose Reptiles; then, write down the name of one of each of the following: Turtle, snake, lizard
Answer the following questions about one of each; do not copy and paste- write your own words!
To turn in, simply share it with me at [email protected]
Answer the following:
Species name/Common Name
- What is their habitat/which part of the state?
- What is their diet?
- What is their status in TN?
- Do they lay eggs or give birth to live young?
- Include at least two photos.
- For snakes only- are they a venomous species (there are only four in TN!); are they a constrictor?
Salamander Classification Cards May 3rd
Use these photos with the dichotomous key to identify which species each salamander belongs to.

Use this slideshow to answer the questions on your worksheet about artificial selection.
