Welcome to Seventh Grade Science The state curriculum focuses on the theme of “structure,” from atoms and cells to the earth and whales.
We will explore five main units • Nature of matter • Earth’s crust and interior • Structure and function of cells • Heredity or Genetics • Classification
Nature of Matter • Motion in molecules • Heat and molecules • Solid, liquid, and gas
Structure of Rocks and Minerals • Experiment with properties of minerals • Learn how rocks and minerals form. • Study materials of different densities.
Models of Earth • Research past ideas and theories about earth. • Discover how today’s scientists study earth.
The Shaping of Earth’s Crust • Plate tectonics • Volcanoes • Earthquakes • Erosion
Cell Theory • Research history of cells • Show all life is made of cells • Cells only come from other cells
Structure and function of cells • Plant and animal cells • Parts of the cell • What cells do
Levels of Structure Cells Tissues Organ Organ System Organism
Heredity • DNA the code of life
Classification • Distinguish between living, non-living, and dead • Five kingdoms of life • Learn to identify with classification keys
