The Comets science classes are currently working on our 6th unit on Electricity.  During this unit, students will learn about flow of electrons in relation to circuits, create circuits themselves, and perform hands-on activities to promote learning of the content.

Here are some helpful websites students can visit to enhance their understanding of Electricity:

Welcome to the blog spot for the Comets 8th Grade Science class.  Here students can keep up with any missed assignments, find information on class activities, and investigate other websites to enhance thier learning.  Parents are also encouraged to check in on student activities and publications to the blog.  I am very excited about integrating more technology into the education of my students, and I hope they are just as eager to participate!

Note:  When making posts on this site, all Comets team rules apply to your actions & conversations.  I expect that "Netiquette" (short for "network etiquette") be practiced by all authors to this blog.  I do ask that any personal discussion of students, grades, or classroom performance remain private.  Please feel free to contact me at school, via email or phone for these types of inquiries.
