BC Science 8 Featured Resource

Text Page 412 - Audio File

I'd Like To Be, Under the Sea - - ah, the chance to discover a brand-new world! Not a whole new planet but an alien landscape two-and-a-half kilometres under the Atlantic Ocean. In this cool 10 minute audio Quirks and Quarks, follow researchers using the Canadian ROPOS submersible as they look deep into Sable Gully, a huge canyon system about 200 km off the coast of Nova Scotia. They find some weird and wonderful undersea life there.

BC Science 8 Text Images Now Posted!

Images from the BC Science 8 Text have been added to the website resources. To make it easy to find the image that you want, you will find packages of images from each chapter posted as the first link for each of the chapters. Simply download the package, and enjoy!

Each of the image files has the text page number in the file name, so it should be easy to find and identify the image that you need.

All of the images are copyright McGraw-Hill Ryerson, but we would like teacher and student users of the BC Science 8 text to feel free to use the images for classroom instruction and assignment purposes.
