Welcome to Mrs. Cronin's 8th Grade Physical Science Class 

Dear Periods 1 and 2 families:
Zoom information for 08/19/2020 will be emailed to you.
Please check your emails.​​


​
8th grade students will be studying introductory physical science - the study of physics and chemistry. This course will include basic chemistry, investigation of 
the atom, matter, motion, forces, energy, and waves.

​We will investigate these topics using a variety of methods, including research and hands on experiments (as soon as we meet in person!).
