Science Foundations 1
     Seventh grade science is an inquiry-based class. You will learn to ask testable questions and design experiments to answer them. Guided by essential questions, you will complete projects related to scientific inquiry, construction and manufacturing, genetics, evolution and environmental science. Literacy skills will be reinforced through a monthly science/technology current event assignment (Article Analysis). Through exploration of these topics, you will develop measurement, observation, oral presentation, and graphing skills.
