Indiana Science 8 A/B (Apex)

Indiana Science 8 is a two-semester course aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards for Science (Grade 8). This course delivers instruction, practice, and review to help students develop scientific literacy, deepen conceptual understanding, and apply scientific practices. Students explore concepts including the structure, properties, and changes of matter; energy and matter; reproduction and growth in organisms; heredity; biological evolution; weather and climate; and the impact of humans on Earth’s systems. The two-semester course is arranged in themed units, each with two to three lessons. In each unit, activities make complex ideas accessible to students as they discover the nature of science through focused content, interactive mini-investigations, multimodal representations, and personalized feedback. Each lesson includes a variety of activities such as direct instruction, application of skills, performance tasks, and formative and summative assessments. Students engage with the subject matter in an interactive, feedback-rich environment as they progress through standards-aligned content and demonstrate their learning through computer- and teacher-scored assignments.
