SEVENTH GRADE SCIENCE Seventh grade science solidifies student understanding of the Scientific Method and Engineering Design Process. Students learn how to phrase a question so they can answer it through experimentation. The students design and carry out an experiment, collect and organize data, and graph the results using a computer spreadsheet program. After analyzing the results, students communicate their results through a laboratory report. During the Science Fair in May, students will present their project to scientists and engineers representing various companies in the area. Life science is also part of the seventh grade curriculum. Students use modeling, critical thinking skills, and work collaboratively as they study cells, the organization of organisms, information processing, energy flow, inherited traits, genetic variation, biodiversity, and adaptation through hands on labs and interactive computer simulations. Organisms do not live in isolation, so the interaction of organisms with each other and their environment is also integrated into the curriculum. The year would not be complete without taking time to discuss God’s miraculous gift of life as students learn about the sophisticated processes that occur in microscopic cells and how those cells communicate and work together to form a functional organism. Writing and analysis of text, tables, and graphs is integrated throughout the curriculum. |
Assignments Assignments are posted in Google classroom. Plans are subject to change, and therefore the dates that assignments are due may change. A student's assignment book (or Google Calendar) should be the most accurate location for assignments and due dates. If absent, a student should check Google Classroom for missed work. Not all grades will be entered in Google Classroom so PowerSchool should be used to check for grades and missing work.
