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.
