Grade 8 Science

The students have begun to look at the uses of fluids, how pressure affects fluids and fluid power.  They were asked to answer questions 1-3 on page 195 and a set of questions on pressure (8-10 specific questions assigned in class). They will be getting a worksheet and practice questions on calculating pressure.  We have begun talking about a final project that will involve building a hydraulic/pneumatic device in weeks to come.  Next week, the Grade 8s have Scientist in the School with us.
