Grade 8 Science and Technology

The 2022 Ontario Grade 8 Science and Technology course has five strands: STEM Skills and Connections, Life Systems (cells), Matter and Energy (fluids), Structures and Mechanisms (systems) and Earth and Space Systems (water). The museum maps four of them; Life Systems has no honest link.
