01Integrated foundations: Grade 8 General Science
General science connects observations with models of matter, living things, energy and the environment. A model is useful because it explains selected features and makes predictions that can be checked. It is not a perfect copy of everything in nature. Begin with a clear question, identify the quantity or feature being observed and distinguish a result from the explanation offered for it.
