WELCOME TO EIGHTH GRADE
SCIENCE AND READING!
In the first semester we study physical science - specifically, the study of forces and motion.

In the first quarter of Reading, everyone will read S.E. Hinton's famous novel THE OUTSIDERS. (You will never forget this story.) In addition, every student is responsible for reading an outside novel chosen from the eighth grade reading list. A written report accompanies this assignment. Examples of books from the list include:
