Course Description

Science

Theology

Seventh Grade Science is an integrated course designed for students to explore processes that have shaped our Earth and beyond. Throughout the course, students explore physics and its connection to Earth and space science, while developing their scientific skills and building their understanding of the scientific process. Students will develop their problem solving skills as they participate in hands-on explorations to build their understanding of the world around them.

Seventh Grade Theology is designed to give students a general knowledge and appreciation of the Sacred Scriptures. Through the study of the Bible, students will come to encounter the living word of God, Jesus Christ. Throughout the course, students will learn about the Bible, authored by God through inspiration, and its value to people throughout the world. If they have not been taught this earlier, they will learn how to read the Bible and will become familiar with the major sections of the Bible and the books included in each section. The students will pay particular attention to the Gospels, where they may grow to know and love Jesus Christ more personally.

Some of the matters studied will be: how the bible came to be, Sacred Scripture in the life of the Church, understanding scripture, unity of the Old Testament and the New Testament, the formation of the Gospels, the content of the Synoptic Gospels and the content of the Gospel of John.
