To determine how many students failed the science class, we need to consider the grades below the passing grade of 70.
From the data provided:
- 2 students received a score of 50 to 59 (fail)
- 5 students received a score of 60 to 69 (fail)
- 8 students received a score of 70 to 79 (pass)
- 5 students received a score of 80 to 89 (pass)
- 2 students received a score of 90 to 100 (pass)
Now, we can calculate the total number of students who failed (received a grade below 70):
\[
\text{Total students who failed} = 2 \text{ (scores 50-59)} + 5 \text{ (scores 60-69)} = 7
\]
Thus, the total number of students who failed this science class is **7 students**.
