CPO Focus on Physical Science Grade 8
Student Textbook
The CPO Focus on Physical Science student textbook combines comprehensive content with colorful graphics and diagrams to deliver important concepts to students of all ability levels. Topics covered include; properties of matter, atomic structure, chemical reactions, and the periodic table. The physics of motion, forces, Newton's laws and astronomy complete this physical science adventure!
As with the sixth and seventh grade titles, reading strategies are built right into the text to aid comprehension. Content is presented as one idea per page and has easy-to-find main headings, subheadings, and side notes. Vocabulary words are defined in special boxes on the same page where they are introduced. There is also an emphasis on building math skills. Formulas are presented in a clear, consistent format while elements of the formulas are identified and tips for using them are provided. Formula variations are also provided while problems and solutions are presented in a step-by-step format with additional practice exercises. Chapter assessments, skill sections, real world connections and chapter activities further extend student learning.
