8th Grade Science Curriculum

Eighth grade science classes cover the physical sciences. We will be using Prentice Hall's Science Explorer: Physical Science. This book is available soon to students online in its entirety at www.pearsonsuccessnet.com. The username and password is the student's first name and the initial of the last name followed by 8 (all lowercase, no spaces) or try the username: 8thgradescience2011 and the password: science.
