Edison Middle School's Science Workshop
Helps Teach 8th Grade Science Objectives
with Hands-On Activities
April 2009

Andrea Hernandez, Site Director for the Science Workshop, and her crew have made lengthy preparations to teach targeted science objectives for our 8th graders who will be taking Science TAKS on April 30th. These objectives include hands-on activities in the following areas: ecosystems, predator-prey, human impact, changes in system, erosion, plate tectonics, interdependence in the human body, food chain and food web, and shrinking habitat. This week the students became pseudo grasshoppers, shrews, and hawks as they learned about the food chain.
