Science Notes and PowerPoint Presentation - Science 8

Unit One - Water Systems on Earth

Water Systems on Earth - Unit Outcomes

 Chapter 1: The Water Cycle Plays a Vital Role on Earth

 The Water Cycle - YouTube

 Chapter 2: Oceans Control the Water Cycle

Salinity and Density
Ocean Currents - Global
Ocean Current 
Neap and Spring Tide
hBay of Fundy - Tidel Bore
Erosion/Deposition

Chapter 3: Bodies of Water Influence Climate and Species Distribution

 Scientific Investigation - Research/Experiments

  Unit Three - Fluids

Fluids - Unit Outcomes

 Chapter 7: Viscosity Describes a Fluid's Resistance to Flow.  

Fluid - Song
Viscosity - Demonstration
Viscosity - 

 Chapter 8: Density Describes the Amount of Mass in a Given Volume of a Substance

 The Periodic Table of Elements
Buoyancy and Density
Density = Mass/Volume  (D=m/V)
Mass = Volume x Density  (M=VD)
Volume = Mass/Density (M=m/D)

 Chapter 9: Forces Influence the Motion and Properties of Fluids 

Buoyancy and Density
Archimedes Principle
How An Airplane Flies
Force = Pressure x Area (F=PA)
Area = Force/Pressure (A=F/P)
Pressure = Force/Area (P=F/A)
How Fluid Power Works
Hydraulic and Pneumatic System - Part 1
Hydrauluc and Pneumatic Stems - Part 2
