SYLLABUS IN SCIENCE 8

SY:2016-2017

Program StandardS:

The learners demonstrate understanding of basic science concepts and application of science-inquiry skills. They exhibit scientific attitudes and values to solve problems critically, innovate beneficial products, protect the environment and conserve resources, enhance the integrity and wellness of people, make informed decisions, and engage in discussions of relevant issues that involve science, technology, and environment .

Grade Level Standards:

Learners will now recognize reproduction as a process of cell division resulting in growth of organisms. They will also deal

deeper into the process of digestion studied in the lower grades giving emphasis on proper nutrition for overall wellness.

This will lead them to participate in activities that will protect and conserve economically important species used for food.

Learners will explain the behavior of matter in terms of the particles it is made of. They will also 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 will explain how active faults generate earthquakes and how tropical cyclones originate from warm ocean

waters. They will also learn about the other members of the solar system.

Learners will investigate the effects of some factors on the motion of an object based on the Laws of Motion. They will

also differentiate the concept of work as used in science and in layman’s language. They will also learn about factors that

affect the transfer of energy such as the molecular structure of the medium and temperature difference.

FIRST QUARTER: FORCE, MOTION AND ENERGY

Content Standards: The learner demonstrates understanding of the laws of motion; work in relation to energy; and the types of energy.
