First, what's a wiki?
The word wiki comes from the Hawaiian for "quick." Wikis are tools that allow you to build websites really quickly. And this one is ours. Here's a short video about wikis, just in case you want to learn more.

7th Grade Science
7th Grade Science is organized around three Essential Questions. We will be investigating these questions throughout the year.
 * How do Scientists think and work?
 * What does it mean to be alive?
 * How do living things relate to one another and their environment?

8th Grade Science (The Living Environment)
8th Grade Science (The Living Environment) is organized around two Essential Questions. We will be investigating these questions throughout the year.
 * How do living systems respond to change? (This includes **Homeostasis**, **Evolution,** and **Ecology**)
 * How do living things pass on "how to live" to their offspring? (This includes **Reproduction** and **Genetics**)
