GRADE 7 LIFE SCIENCE
In seventh grade students will focus on Life Sciences. The focus will be on the big ideas of structure and processes of organisms, the interaction and dynamics of ecosystems, heredity, and evolution. In structure and processes of organisms the emphasis is on how organisms live, grow and respond to their environment. For ecosystems, the emphasis is on how and why organisms interact with their environment and what effects these interactions have. The emphasis for heredity is how traits are passed from one generation to the next and how that provides for variations among species. With evolution, the emphasis is how organisms can have similarities yet there are so many different species.
