Welcome to 8th grade science at TYWLS of Astoria! My name is Jonathan, and I am very excited to be working with you as we explore various topics in science. As you progress throughout the year, you will begin to understand that science is not a series of facts to be memorized, but rather an opportunity to answer questions you may have about your surrounding environment. As we investigate the world around us, we will focus on scientific inquiry and experimentation using the scientific method.

One way we will be learning about our environment is through a long-term science investigation project, otherwise known as a science fair project. Throughout the next few weeks and months, I will be guiding you through the process of creating your project. This wiki will help you along your way. There are many different resources in the left margin that you can use. Some of the resources are text-based, some are video and some are images.

I look forward to working with you on your journey. Good luck! ||
