7th Grade

Week of May 4

Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.

Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.

English Language Arts

Read and write every day! Record the title of the book/text and the pages read each day in your learning log.

All of us have had to adjust to new school, work, and life routines in the past month. It’s taken all of us time and patience to get adjusted and feel like we have good, solid routines in place to make this time as meaningful and positive as possible. Imagine you are writing a note to teachers who might endure a similar experience years and years from now. Give them step-by-step instructions of how to best assist students during at-home learning. Think about things like: what can or should be learned, how to present lessons, a daily schedule, how to balance work and family time, etc.

Requirements: 5 -10 steps, must be written or typed, must be presented to a person in your home or videoed and shared with your teacher.

Writing Prompt: Listen to a classmate’s (or read a classmate’s) step-by-step instructions and write a response to them using an enthusiastic tone. Your written response should tell them what you agree with and how your instructions were similar to theirs. Also, include an enthusiastic message to them just because we all need that during this time!

*if you don’t have a way to communicate with a classmate, ask someone in your home to complete the activity and write a response to them

Math

Toss a coin at least 20 times. Record the results in the table. What do you think would happen if you performed more trials?
Mica and Joan are on the same softball team. Mica got 8 hits out of 48 times at bat, while Joan got 12 hits out of 40 times at bat. Who do you think is more likely to get a hit her next time at bat? Explain.
A dentist has 400 male and female patients that range in ages from 10 years old to 50 years old and up as shown in the table. What is the experimental probability that the next patient will be female and in the age range 22–39?
Would you expect the probability for the simple event “rolling a 6” to be greater than or less than the probability of the compound event “rolling a 6 and getting heads on a coin”? Explain.

Question 3

Science

You have been hired to prepare a new exhibit for the Weatherford Science Museum focused on the effects of human activity on local water sources.

Please do the following in your exhibit:

Construct or illustrate a model to show the path of pollution on ground and surface water in a watershed.

Develop a fact sheet for the general public that will identify factors contributing to water pollution and methods to reduce pollution in the watershed (e.g., effects of changes in pH on groundwater and reduction of phosphorus in detergents).

Social Studies

Create a flow chart with simple illustrations that shows how the First World War impacted Texas and Texans.
Then write a paragraph using academic vocabulary and knowledge of Texas History explaining what social ramifications, if any, did World War I have on Texas?
