The mission of Robbinsville Middle School is to provide an environment which develops responsible, well-educated, highly-skilled and healthy citizens who can display good character plus compete globally in the 21st century
The goal of science is to understand the world around us.
We use our senses to make observations and then we use these observations to explain the “how, why, what, when, &/or where”.
Seventh grade science builds on the concepts and skills acquired in kindergarten through sixth grade.
Connections to mathematics, technology, social science, and communication skills will be integrated into our instructional design.
Students who successfully complete the 7th Grade course will be competent in the following areas:
Earth Science: Understand how the cycling of matter (water and gases) in and out of the atmosphere relates to Earth’s atmosphere, weather and climate and the effects of the atmosphere on humans;
Life Science: Understand the processes, structures and functions of living organisms that enable them to survive, reproduce and carry out the basic functions of life; Understand the relationship of the mechanisms of cellular reproduction, patterns of inheritance and external factors to potential variation and survival among offspring.
Physical Science: Understand motion, the effects of forces on motion and the graphical representations of motion; Understand forms of energy, energy transfer and transformation and conservation in mechanical systems;
