8th Grade Science in Hawaii
Hawaii's 8th grade science curriculum follows the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which guide what students learn about the physical world, Earth's systems, and space. Topics covered this year include forces and motion, energy transfer, waves, and Earth's history. These concepts build on what students learned in 6th and 7th grade and prepare them for high school physical and Earth science courses.
Key Topics in Hawaii 8th Grade Science
- Forces, motion, and Newton's laws
- Types of energy and energy transfer
- Waves — properties, light, and sound
- Earth's structure and geologic history
- Space systems and the solar system
