Seventh grade science is aligned with the West Virginia Content Standards and Objectives. The subject matter is delivered through a coordinated, integrated approach with an emphasis on the development of the major science themes of systems, changes and models. Students will engage in active inquiries, investigations and hands-on activities for a minimum of 50% of the instructional time to develop conceptual understanding and research laboratory skills. Safety instruction is integrated into all activities. Seventh Grade Science reviews motions and forces, ecosystems, diversity of life, energy transformations, plate tectonics, earth's resources and weather. Major concepts expanded at the seventh grade level include elements, mixtures, and compounds, populations/ecosystems, conservation of matter and energy and earth's history.

This year in 7th grade science students will also have the opportunity to participate in Project Based Learning and learn more about life, education and the environment in Afghanistan through the GoGobal Initiative. Please read the attached syllabus.
