Welcome to 7th Grade Life Science!
Students in grade 7 are enrolled in a full year course in science in which they will explore and use science processing skills to discover science concepts. Students will employ and sharpen their inquiry and questioning abilities by performing a variety of investigations. Academic rigor will be emphasized in all aspects of the curriculum. Within the study of life science, students will examine concepts from cell biology, genetics, evolution, earth and life history, the structure and function of living systems, as well as physical principles of living systems. Most importantly, students will learn how these topics relate to each other and apply this knowledge to the world outside of school.
Students will keep a scientific notebook and need the following supplies in order to be successful in science class:
PLEASE BRING TO CLASS BY THURSDAY, September 10, 2009
-1 sturdy spiral notebook (you will use this everyday so try to find one that is sturdy: no rip-out pages)
-pencils, pens and highlighter
-colored pencils
-ruler
-glue stick
-**OPTIONAL: USB Drive***
