Welcome to 7th grade science!
Welcome to 7th grade science!
Together we will study everything about life sciences ranging from structures, functions and processes of cells all the way to natural selection and ecology. In our class, we will use experiments, discussions, group activities, readings, and chromebooks to learn how to read, write, research, question, and think like scientists.

Notebooks
Notebooks
Students need to purchase a COLLEGE RULED 100 page composition notebook that they are expected to bring to class every day. We will use our Science Notebooks to keep everything together: warm-ups, notes, vocabulary, labs, discussions and other class activities. It is essential that students bring this to class.

Chromebooks
Chromebooks
Students are required to checkout a Chromebook at the beginning of the year and bring it, charged, to class every day. We will use them very frequently in science class for reading articles and watching the embedded video clips, researching different topics, collaborating with classmates, and completing online simulations and activities.

Homework
Homework
There is little work assigned specifically for completion at home. Students will copy all homework for the week into their planners at the beginning of the week. If students do not complete in-class assignments, then they will need to be completed at home in addition to whatever other homework has specifically been assigned.
