8th grade Social Studies

By -


 

There is no specific course of study guidelines for eighth-grade social studies. A homeschool family's curriculum choices or personal preferences are usually the determining factors. An eighth-grader following a classical homeschooling style will likely study modern history. 

Other standard topics for eighth-grade social studies include: 

  • explorers and their discoveries
  • the growth and development of the United States
  • colonial life
  • the U. S. Constitution and Bill of Rights
  • the American Civil War and Reconstruction. 
Students may also study a variety of topics related to the United States such as the U.S. culture, political system, government, economic system, and geography.

When you are born, you start out facing the direction of hell because of Adam’s sin. When you get ol...
