Interactive Notebook Templates
Interactive Notebook:
We will be creating interactive notebooks (INBs) throughout Science 7 this year. You may be responsible for cutting & pasting components for the next day's notes into your book before next class. You can do so at home or at school during lunch, breaks or after school but they must be complete prior to the next class.
Blank templates for your INB can be found in the INB Templates folder listed at the top of this page. If templates have come from other sources, I have cited them and will provide a link to TPT store to purchase.
Pictures below can guide you in organizing your INB if you miss classes but keep in mind work that is to be completed by you, as an 'output' will not be shown. You can always talk with me or with your fellow students about what might be included for those.

Introduction to Temperature:
We learn about the difference between temperature and energy and measure the temperature of several sample mixtures.
Students use the data to create an accurate set of graphs for visual comparison.
We learn the basics about the difference between different temperature scales.
Conduction, Convection and Radiation:
Students will explore these methods of heat transfer using student-led stations adapted from Kesler Science.
Insulation:
Learn how insulation reduces loss of thermal energy from a structure
Thermal energy moves from high to low (from warm to cold)
How does R value tell us about a material's ability to insulate?
What is heat capacity? How can we use this to insulate structures?
Use this knowledge to modify Space Habs and Greenhouses to minimize heat loss.

Particle Model Introduction
Learn some of the statements of the Particle Model and how they relate our content in science 7
Expansion and Contraction:
observe demonstrations of how materials expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Changes of State:
review the major changes of state
understand which state changes result from energy gain and loss.
describe particle movement during a state change
explain how temperature changes during a state change.
