Science 7 Information
The science curriculum highlights that students develop a combination of skills and knowledge for creating questions, problem-solving, and making informed decisions.
We plan to cover a number of topics/units throughout the year:
- Scientific Inquiry/Method
- Interactions within Ecosystems
- Mixtures and Pure Substances
- Heat
- Earth's Crust
Organization of material:
- Binder labelled as "Science" or section with a page divider labelled "Science" inside a binder for all subjects
- Plastic page protector for each topic (5 sheets) to create cover pages, extras for selected work
- Grid/graph paper and loose-leaf (have in locker so that you are prepared when needed). Keep 5 sheets of loose-leaf in binder at all times so that you are prepared for spontaneous activities
- Pencils and eraser
- Calculator (adding, subtracting, multiplication, division)
- Markers, pens, and coloured pencils should be available (should have a pencil case with supplies ready)
- Craft supplies (glue, scissors, tape, construction paper, bristol board) will be needed for some classes. Advanced notice will be given when needed.
- Keep USB memory stick with binder (to save work completed on a computer)
