Science 7

Science 7 integrates life science, Earth and space science, and physical science, while incorporating both engineering and scientific methods. In this course, students explore the ways in which humans have an impact on Earth's ecosystems and resources. They study the different forces at work on Earth and throughout the universe, learning about their importance in technologies and everyday phenomena. Students also investigate evidence of past life on Earth and how it evolved into the life that exists today. This course allows students to dig deeper into the inheritance of organisms and how these organisms adapt to their environments. Finally, students are introduced to waves, exploring how both sound and light waves are used in communication. This course includes multiple-day engineering design projects and hands-on labs, which are driven by real-world phenomena and meaningful story lines.
