Science

Basic Chemistry

Periodic Table
Chemical Reactions

Basic Physics

Energy
Force and Motion
Waves

Designing and constructing lab experiments
Writing and communicating lab results

Victor: Science 1st

Hi my name is Victor Smiley I am an 8th grade student and I will be representing and talking to you about the chemistry unit we learned about which contains the periodic table and chemical reactions. Some of the highlights we learned about were:

The periodic table holds 118 elements 6 of which have not been discovered
There are 8 different families on the periodic table each of which have a title
We learned about different physical and chemical properties
A physical property is one that you can identify without seeing if the material reacts with another substance.
Examples color, hardness, and flexibility
A chemical property describes how a material reacts with another substance, such as acid or oxygen.
We completed a periodic table Baby book project
The baby book is a project that we touched on by adopting an element and talking about the discoverer, when it was discovered, where it was discovered, the (relatives) of the element, and how many neutrons and protons it has.
We have had to design experiments and write full lab reports to communicate our information.

Tristen: Science 2nd

Hey, my name is Tristen Norman and I'm going to be talking about what we’re currently working on and what we will be working on in the future.

We are currently working on a unit about Energy.
We built roller coasters and used potential and kinetic energy transformations to help our rollercoaster be successful.
The higher the roller coaster goes and then more massive the train and people in it, more gravitational potential energy it will have at the top. The gravitational potential energy of the train and passengers at the top of the hill becomes transformed into kinetic energy as it roll down the first hill.
Like for example putting gas into a car transforms from chemical energy into kinetic motion to make the car run.
We learned about other types of energy transfers such as thermal energy (heat), light, sound ,elastic, chemical, nuclear, motion(kinetic) and so much more.
After this unit we will be working on Force and Motion to learn about Newton's Laws
We will then be learning about different kinds of energy waves.
All of these basics are going to prepare us for High School Chemistry and Physics.

Math

Pre-Algebra focus
Current Unit: Exponential Functions
comparing and analyzing exponential functions in 3 different forms (table, graph, equation)
learning and applying laws of exponents (commonly known as exponent rules)
writing numbers in scientific notation

Trinity: Math 1st

Hi, my name is Trinity Norman and I’m in 8th grade and we have been working on a lot of things in math. Some of the things we have focused on have been

Scientific Notation - we will use it in physics and chemistry to write really large and really small numbers and it will help for High School when using big and small numbers.
Laws of exponents - will help us by simplify� complex expressions involving exponents some examples of them are
Power of 0 and 1
Multiplying and divide exponents
Exponents with a negative power: one example� of its rule is if we have an exponent with a negative power in the� numerator then we move it to the denominator and vise versa.
Exponents with rational powers
Power to Power: An another example of this� rule is multiplying the outside power by the inside power in the� parentheses

Davion: Math 2nd

Hi, My name is Davion Goins and I’m an eighth grade student and some ways this is going to prepare us for high school Algebra is..

Being about to compare and analyze linear and nonlinear functions
Represent functions in 3 different forms� (table, graph, equation)
Simplify complex expressions involving� exponents
Using Scientific notation in physics and� chemistry.

Reading/Social Studies

Learning to construct an argumentative essay
Debating topics using primary source text evidence

Booker T. Washington v. W.E.B. DuBois

Reading and performing the play ‘A Raisin in the Sun’
Working in small NewsELA groups to work on reading strategies

Key ideas and details in informational text

Maiya: Reading and Social Studies 1st

Hello, I am Maiya K. Helm-Brown and I am an 8th grade student at Lindop School and today I stand before you all to tell you what topics we have learned in Social Studies and Reading. We have been debating topics using primary source text evidence.

We have learned about past civil rights� activists who have taken charge in our nation and putting an end to racial� segregation.
Some Examples are from:

W.E.B DuBois’
Booker T. Washington

We analyzed “Immigration cartoons” that related to the immigration problems of the US. That contained negative secret messages that artists made to acknowledge problems in the US.
I Enjoy learning about these types of things� in Social Studies because it gives me more useful background knowledge� about my race and the struggles they went through to attempt to get the� independence they deserve.
Another thing to we have been doing is� learning to construct an argumentative essay
We have did 4 six paragraph argumentative� essays, and took stances and explain our evidence based on picture and� textual evidence.
I enjoyed learning this because learning� argumentative essays will help me to convince colleges, internships, and� jobs that I am the right candidate.

Cierra: Reading and Social Studies 2nd

Hello my name is Cierra and I’m an 8th grade student here at Lindop and I want to talk about things we did in social studies and reading this year.

One play we read is called “A Raisin in the� Sun” and it had to do with racial segregation and history with blacks and� whites. We analyze questions and compared the play with other new racial� problems in the world and how it was different from back then and now
Some other things we discussed in class was� work in small groups working on New ELA which is basically we read an� assigned article then answer the quiz, the whole point of that was to work� on our reading strategies and to improve on our Map scores, just to become� a better reader..

Applications Day

Students brought applications and forms from their high schools of choice
We worked on accurately completing high school applications
Completing recommendation questionnaires
Composing high school application essays
Preparing for high school admission test essays/questions

Cierra: College Match Reports:

We filled out a survey about our interests and background information about ourselves.
We received a college match report that matched us with any schools we might be interested in and gave us other schools that might be a good match based on our answers. These were the colleges I was interested in and to know that I have a match with them is helpful for me in the future
Schools I matched and am interested in are Albany State University, Albany GA, University of Illinois-Chicago IL, and University of Florida.
The report also gave us scholarships that we might be eligible. This is helpful so we can start looking at requirements for getting free money for college!
The colleges that I had a match with were Illinois State University, Normal, IL, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, and University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
When I looked up the one of the scholarship matches I had it was for College Developmental Studies Program Scholarships. It basically tells you how to get money to pay for your student fees for College.
Also it lists on the website Grants, and fellowship for international students, and it list the different places where you can find Scholarships for your Master Degree, Bachelor’s Degree.
