Welcome To Eighth Grade Science with Ms. Costa!

Hello all, and welcome to Physical Science! This year we will be introduced to the worlds of physics and chemistry and learn how they explain everyday occurrences.  By the end of the year you will understand why an ocean liner floats but a small pebble sinks. You will understand why steel rusts but aluminum does not and some of the factors that contribute to the efficiency of your four-wheeler.
Take a look to see some of the labs, lessons and activities we did last year.
