Welcome to 8th Grade Science
The J. C. Booth Science Program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills for proficiency in science. Our curriculum teaches students to value and use science as a process for obtaining knowledge, based upon observable evidence.
The program embraces the Next Generation Science Standards, Project 2061’s Benchmarks for Science Literacy,
Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), and Literacy in Science Common Core GPS.
Technology is infused into the curriculum, when appropriate. This approach allows students to understand that science is not just a body of knowledge that reflects current understanding of the world; it is also a set of practices used to establish, extend, and refine that knowledge. Both elements—knowledge and practice—are essential. Through these rich experiences, we provide multiple opportunities for learners to develop the skills and attributes of scientifically literate citizens, with a lifelong interest in science.
