Science 7
This course will provide students with enlightenment and instruction on the nature of science, using a discovery process to teach the scientific method, and the use of metric measurements in scientific investigations. It covers the study of the Uni- verse, stars, constellations, and objects in the Solar System. Movement and path- ways of the Earth and Moon are investigated, with natural paths uncovered as stu- dents discover just how large the universe really is. Next, students will discover how Earth materials are formed and what they can teach us about Mother Earth’s past as they investigate the natural processes that shape its ecosystem, the land- scape and the creation of different environments on Earth. The course then covers basic concepts of force, motion, and equilibrium. Concepts of human biology are also uncovered, with emphasis on body systems and those amazing functions that contribute to our wellness. Agricultural science and its impact on biotechnology is introduced, along with its affect on human interaction with the earth. Finally, the basics of environmental science are covered, and through the use of stunning pho- tography and lively animation, students will interact with endangered species, learn about natural resource use, environmental health, pollution, and biodiversity.
