For your information:

The Science curriculum for eighth grade will be re-vamped (what ever that means) for the 2009-10 school year.

Basically, it will remain an Earth Science class about rocks, minerals, and much of the stuff you see listed below.  However, as of June, the sequence of the topics is yet to be determined.  Stay tuned and as soon as I know, I'll let you know what's up.

This website will remain a source of information in any event.  Just choose wisely until better informed.
