Class experience
US Grade 8
This course covers the WEATHER unit, which is typically taught to eighth graders under Earth Systems Science. This course meets National Science Education Standard MS-ESS2-5, and a portion of the Colorado Department of Education 8th Grade Science Standard 3. Please consider my "Climate" unit and my "Solar System" unit to complete study for Standard 3, alternatively, take all three units combined in my "Earth Systems Science for 8th Grade" course. CONTENT We will explore the relationship...
