Science 7 B

Science 7B uses multiple media sources to foster scientific inquiry and spark curiosity. Throughout this course, the student will discover ways that scientists use data, models, and technology to gather and apply information. This course explores the role of plants and photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and the flow of energy into and out of organisms. The student will analyze and interpret data to determine the effects of resource availability on biodiversity among populations in an ecosystem. The topics of evolution, natural selection, and scientific classification are also presented throughout this course. The student will analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the change of life forms and examine genetic variations of a population over time. The student will also learn how scientists classify organisms based on similar characteristics.
