This year-long French Immersion project incorporates all of the grade 8 science units and allows students to make connections across the curriculum. Throughout the year, students focused on water consumption, coding, fluids, water quality, creating marble mazes with grade 3 Science Buddies, and creating Rube Goldberg machines with grade 9 and 10 students in preparation for entering high school.
