GRADE 8 TERM 1 MATERIALS MATATAG 2026-2027

Summary

This video outlines the Grade 8 Term 1 topics for the new school year, emphasizing changes from four quarters to three terms. It details the biology and chemistry topics covered in Term 1, including digestive and plant transport systems, genetics, taxonomy, cycles in nature, and atomic theory. The speaker also mentions the availability of prepared PowerPoint presentations for these subjects.

Highlights

Changes to the School Year Structure00:00:03

The school year will now be divided into three terms instead of the previous four quarters, leading to changes in the coverage and compression of competencies, especially for Grade 8.

Biology Topics for Term 100:00:44

Term 1 of Grade 8 will cover various biology topics including the digestive system, plant transport system, pattern of inheritance (genetics), predicting traits (monohybrid and dihybrid crosses), taxonomy classification system, classification of humans, cycles in nature (photosynthesis, cellular respiration, carbon, oxygen, and water cycles).

Week-by-Week Breakdown of Topics00:01:55

The video provides a detailed weekly schedule for Term 1: Weeks 1-2 will cover organ systems (digestive and plant transport systems), Week 3 is dedicated to heredity/genetics, Weeks 4-5 to taxonomy classification, Weeks 6-9 to photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and natural cycles, Week 10 to atomic theory, and Week 11 to subatomic particles.

Available Materials and Contact Information00:04:26

The speaker has prepared PowerPoint presentations for these topics, but notes that Daily Lesson Logs (DLLs) are not yet available due to anticipated format changes. Interested individuals can avail of the materials by contacting the speaker via email, which is provided in the video description.

Chemistry Topics for Term 100:01:33

In addition to biology, Term 1 will also include two chemistry topics: the development of atomic theory and subatomic particles and structure.
