Course Overview

Science 7 A expands students' understanding of life, physical, and Earth sciences through inquiry-driven investigation. The course emphasizes cells, body systems, genetics, and interactions within ecosystems, preparing students for deeper exploration in the life sciences. Students analyze scientific data, construct explanations, and apply scientific thinking to phenomena in the natural world.

Key Learning Focus

Students will:

• Explore cell structure, function, and organization within living organisms.
• Study human body systems and their interdependence.
• Investigate heredity, genetics, and traits.
• Examine energy flow within ecosystems and the cycling of matter.
• Strengthen scientific practices including modeling, experimentation, and analysis.

Instructional Approach

Students engage in lab investigations, interactive simulations, collaborative exploration, and real-world applications. Scientific arguments and explanations are supported through evidence, modeling, and inquiry-based activities.

Outcome

By the end of Science 7 A, students will:

• Demonstrate understanding of cellular biology, body systems, and basic genetics.
• Apply scientific reasoning to investigate and explain life science phenomena.
• Use models and data to support evidence-based conclusions.
• Be prepared to continue with Science 7 B for study in physical and Earth science applications.
