The Grade 7 Integrated Science Curriculum weaves together concepts in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science and organizes these into three main themes: 

(1) Science Processes and Applications

The teacher provides learning experiences that will develop the students’ scientific skills such as posing questions, conducting investigations, measuring, classifying, evaluating experimental results, and communicating what students have learned in order to solve problems in daily life.

(2) Interactions 

The teacher provides learning experiences that will integrate biological and physical sciences with observable natural phenomena and Earth Science.

(3) Diversity 

The teacher provides learning experiences that will illustrate the interdependence of biological sciences and sustainable goals by describing how these concepts influence daily life e. g. microgreens vis-à-vis  food security.

At the end of the course, the students are expected to: 

• demonstrate scientific knowledge and process skills such as formulating problem statements, hypothesizing, inferring, conducting investigations, measuring, classifying, evaluating data gathered, and communicating experimental results to solve simple problems in daily life (competence and commitment);

• strengthen life skills such as posing relevant questions, following directions, creative thinking, interpersonal relationships with peers, self-awareness building, and empathizing with others (compassion);

• express one’s personal, conceptual, and metacognitive insights to make connections  and create meanings with peers and others (competence, commitment, and compassion);

• exemplify scientific attitudes such as integrity, critical outlook, perseverance, curiosity, and open-mindedness (commitment, compassion, conscience, and Christ-centeredness);

• recognize significant Filipino scientists and events as inspirations and cultivate individual talents or skills to build up resilience and love for the country. (commitment)

• apply Methods of Science in seed germination in achieving sustainable goals such as food security.
