What Will We Learn in 6 th or 8 th Grade Science? The primary science domain taught in my 6 th grade classes will be Life Science. The primary science domains taught in my 8 th grade classes will be Physical, Earth and Space Sciences. However, all domains (Life, Physical, Earth, Space & Engineering) will be integrated throughout both grade levels. There is a strong emphasis on writing.
