In 7th grade science we'll learn:
- How to DO science! We'll do a couple of
labs to explore what scientists do when they are "doing" science.
(See
my philosophy of why we don't study
science for more information.)
- Physical science! In physical science we
discover God's laws for how things move in our universe. We'll
study forces, different forms of energy, simple machines, and electricity.
We'll do several
projects--some individually, and some in teams--to help us understand these ideas; past projects have included building water
bottle
rockets, designing balloon-powered Jell-O box cars, creating magnetic-levitation vehicles,
and constructing marble rollercoasters.
- Life science! We'll consider the order God has
put into his biological creation, the characteristics all living things
have in common, what makes different types of living things different,
and how God has commanded human beings to care for his creation (see
Genesis 1:26-28). Specifically, we'll study cells, cell
organization and processes,
and plants.
