Subject Description
At the end of Grade 8, learners can describe the factors that affect the motion of an object based on the Laws of Motion. They can differentiate the concept
of work as used in science and in layman ‘s language. They know the factors that affect the transfer of energy, such as temperature difference, and the type (solid,
liquid, or gas) of the medium.
Learners can explain how active faults generate earthquakes and how tropical cyclones originate from warm ocean waters. They recognize other members
of the solar system.
Learners can explain the behavior of matter in terms of the particles it is made of. They recognize that ingredients in food and medical products are made
up of these particles and are absorbed by the body in the form of ions.
Learners recognize reproduction as a process of cell division resulting in growth of organisms. They have delved deeper into the process of digestion as
studied in the lower grades, giving emphasis on proper nutrition for overall wellness. They can participate in activities that protect and conserve economically
important species used for food.
