The NCERT Class 8 Science course has several learning outcomes, including:
Differentiating materials and organisms
Students can differentiate between materials and organisms based on their properties, structure, and functions. For example, they can differentiate between natural and human-made fibers, plant and animal cells, and viviparous and oviparous animals.
Classifying materials and organisms
Students can classify materials and organisms based on their characteristics. For example, they can classify metals and non-metals, kharif and rabi crops, and useful and harmful microorganisms.
Conducting simple investigations
Students can conduct simple investigations to answer questions. For example, they can investigate the conditions required for combustion.
Relating processes and phenomena with causes
Students can relate processes and phenomena with causes. For example, they can relate smog formation with pollutants in the air and the deterioration of monuments with acid rain.
Explaining processes and phenomena
Students can explain processes and phenomena. For example, they can explain reproduction in humans and animals, the production and propagation of sound, and the chemical effects of electric current.
Writing word equations
Students can write word equations for chemical reactions. For example, they can write equations for the reactions of metals and non-metals with air, water, and acids.
Measuring angles
Students can measure angles of incidence and reflection.
