MS4010 Science 7, MS4011 Science 7-ESL
In the 7th-grade science course, students further develop their science and communication skills through collaborative experimentation and problem-solving. Students will continue to build knowledge and understanding through the exploration of phenomena in a number of areas of study in science including chemistry, biology and earth science. Units of study include chemistry topics such as matter, chemical reactions and energy; topics such as metabolic reactions, body systems and genetics; and finally, place tectonics and rock cycling.
The middle school science classes are currently in the process of implementing the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which emphasize the integration of science and engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas.
