This document provides a table of specifications for the Science 8 curriculum covering Earthquakes and Faults, Typhoons, Comets, Asteroids and Meteors, and the Particle Nature of Matter. It outlines the competencies to be assessed, and divides assessment into three difficulty levels - Easy (60%), Average (30%), and Difficult (10%) - with a total of 50 assessment points. Competencies include describing faults, explaining how faults generate earthquakes, differentiating earthquake intensity from magnitude, explaining how typhoons develop and tracing their paths, comparing and contrasting comets, asteroids and meteors, and explaining the particle nature of solids, liquids and gases.
