Grade 7 Science

Check out this short video about why we learn science in school!

Why Science?

Science is integrated into our everyday lives. The skills developed through the science program will build on what students have learned in past grades.

"The development of increasingly scientifically literate individuals is one of the primary concerns of a 21st century approach to K-12 science education" (Science Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning, August 24, 2023).


Units of Study

This year, students in grade 7 will explore 4 different units. These units include:

Along with these units, students will have opportunities to use skills they have developed using the lens of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) activities.

Assessment

The assessments in Science are provided to access feedback as the student progresses throughout the year and provide opportunities for growth in learning. Term marks are assigned on the report card during our 3 reporting periods (November, March and June). 


Coursework assessment is divided into three categories:

- Knowledge & Understanding

- Scientific Inquiry

- Design Process & Problem Solving
