7th Grade Life Science & 8th grade Physical science

7th & 8th Grade Science Class Overview

Both 7th and 8th grade Science Curriculum are comprised of the Georgia Standards of Excellence. The Science Georgia Standards of Excellence are designed to provide foundational knowledge and skills for all students to develop proficiency in science.

The Seventh Grade Georgia Standards of Excellence for science are designed to give all students the necessary skills for a smooth transition from elementary life science standards to high school biology standards. The purpose is to give all students an overview of common strands in life science including, but not limited to, diversity of living organisms, structure and function of cells, heredity, ecosystems, and biological evolution.

The Eighth Grade Georgia Standards of Excellence for science are designed to give all students the necessary skills for a smooth transition from elementary physical science standards to high school physical science standards. The purpose is to give all students an overview of common strands in physical science including, but not limited to, the nature of matter, conservation of energy, energy transformations, conservation of matter, kinematics, and dynamics. These standards are not intended in any way to take the place of the high school physical science standards.
