"This lab manual is designed to be used in conjunction with Oak Meadow Grade 8 Physical Science or as a learning supplement for any study of physical science. Lab investigations guide students in actively exploring concepts related to chemical reactions, forces and interactions, energy, waves, and engineering design. Students are also given opportunities to conduct projects of their own design, supported by a step-by-step guidance in project design, implementation, revision, and reflection. Materials lists, clear procedures, and fill-in-the-blank prompts and data tables make it easy to use successfully at home, in classrooms, or with independent learners in any setting. Note: Lab manual answers and teaching tips are included in the Grade 8 Physical Science Teacher Manual (which can be purchased separately and includes answers to the full Grade 8 Physical Science course)."--
