Science

Seventh-grade science focuses on understanding what is happening in and on our Earth. Areas studied include rocks and landforms, earthquakes and volcanoes, weather and climate, and ecosystem interactions. The course uses an inquiry-based approach with students engaging in hands-on, collaborative investigations and practicing skills including modeling and scientific writing. There is also an emphasis placed on technology and using online resources to study our earth. The seventh-grade course continues to build on the Science Practices developed in sixth grade.
