    Class Overview:     

     

    • The focus of 7th grade science is states of matter, properties of matter, dynamic Earth, ecosystems. These topics are very lab dependent and students need to follow basic safety rules in order to participate. 
    • We will also be working on implementing the next generation science standards by incorporating engineering practices in with the labs in many of the areas we covering in class. This means more group activities and problem solving. Be prepared to work as a team.
