Our curriculum has spanned the deep interior of our planet with the <strong>Layers of the Earth <\/strong>and transitioned into the biological complexity of <strong>Photosynthesis <\/strong>and the <strong>Circulatory System<\/strong>. We have also delved into the fascinating world of <strong>Rock Formations<\/strong>, investigating how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks tell the story of our planet&#8217;s history. In Grade 8, students are already mastering the mathematical logic of <strong>Chemical Equations<\/strong>, applying the Law of Conservation of Mass through rigorous practice. These foundational topics are being brought to life through hands-on, phenomenon-based learning that challenges students to think like real-world investigators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am incredibly excited to continue this journey with such a curious and energetic group of students. My goal for the rest of the semester is to keep the momentum high with a calendar full of &#8220;aha!&#8221; moments and interactive labs. I am looking forward to leading even more fun, engaging classes where we roll up our sleeves for experiments that turn complex theories into unforgettable, hands-on discoveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3378-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3378-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3378-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3378-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3378-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3378-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3400-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3400-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3400-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3400-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3400-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_3400-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Science Scholars Monthly: A Se &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[20],"class_list":["post-2513","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-cia-campus-news-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news\/2513"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2513"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news\/2513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2520,"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news\/2513\/revisions\/2520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2513"},{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ntia.ctbc.edu.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fnews-category&post=2513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
