Newton's Second Law
Students will work in partners to investigate Newton’s second law by testing a series of experiments with varying conditions.
17 OnTRACK Scientific Process Skills
This binder contains seventeen separate resources focused on the scientific processes for conducting laboratory and field investigations.
10 OnTRACK Grade 8 Science: Force, Motion, and Energy
Students will explore the relationship between force, motion, and energy.
Demonstration and Analysis of Dihybrid Crosses
The students will review related vocabulary, watch the teacher model a dihybrid cross, and then perform a dihybrid cross and answer questions about the outcomes with a partner.
Convergent Plate Boundaries
Students will design and test models that will identify crustal features formed by convergent plate boundaries.
Full Speed Ahead
Students will use hover pucks to measure speed over a distance of six meters. Once speed has been calculated, students will determine velocity using the same data. Finally, students will be able to label all points of acceleration.
How Newton's Laws Apply Every Day
Students collaboratively determine how the characteristics of a real-world job correlate with each of Newton’s Laws and why that is relevant to their own lives.
6 Chapter 6: Stoichiometry
In this chapter, students are introduced to the mole, mass relationships, and stoichiometric calculations with balanced equations.
2 Chapter 10: Light
In this chapter, we discuss visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
6 Chapter 3: Kinematics
In this chapter, we analyze the motion of constantly accelerated objects over time in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
5 Chapter 6: Waves
In this chapter, we explore the mathematical concept of a wave and show how this concept can be used to accurately describe and predict many natural phenomena.
3 Chapter 7: Static Electricity
In this chapter, we explore how electrically charged particles interact through electrostatic forces and fields.
8 Chapter 3: Measurements
In this chapter, we strengthen math skills necessary for chemistry problems and discuss the SI units of measurement. Additionally, we convert between units of measurement and discuss interpreting data from graphs and tables.
3 Chapter 14: Nuclear Chemistry
In this chapter, we discuss nuclear reactions that occur in unstable nuclides.
8 Chapter 11: Electron Configuration and Periodic Trends
In this chapter, we discuss determining electron configurations and periodic trends.
3 Chapter 4: Science and Me
In this chapter, we will discuss how chemistry affects our everyday lives and how you can find careers in chemistry.
6 Chapter 8: Gases
In this chapter, we discuss the properties of gas particles and the laws that govern their behavior.
6 Chapter 12: Lewis Structures
In this chapter, we discuss how to write electron dot symbols for different compounds and the VSEPR Theory.
4 Chapter 13: pH Calculation
In this chapter, we discuss how to identify an acid or base and to find the pH of an acid or base.
3 Chapter 2: Scientific Methods
In this chapter, we discuss the general scope of science and chemistry, as well as the limitations of science. Additionally, we cover the steps of scientific methods and discoveries, and conduct an experiment to demonstrate appropriate procedures.
