Long Term Plan

Grade: 7 Subject: Science School Year: 2022 Teacher: Brooklynne Agnew

Overview:
Science 7 is a course designed to provide students with opportunities to develop and explore scientific knowledge, scientific skills, and
scientific attitudes. Students will first cover the Interactions and Ecosystems Unit and then the Planet Earth Unit. Both units provide
fundamental knowledge and skills that are necessary for success in the rest of the course. Within each unit, scientific inquiry, the nature
of science, and the social and environmental contexts will be emphasized. Students will analyze local environmental issues and
landforms to connect the content of the course to their personal lives. To formatively assess students, class discussions, exit slips, and
hands-on activities and labs will be used. To summatively assess students, projects, labs, and midterm exams will be used.

Rationale:
The science curriculum provides students with the scientific knowledge, skills, and attitudes to interpret, understand, and analyze the
world around them and engage in a responsible manner. It ensures students are prepared to continue their science education at higher
levels and develop an understanding of science-related careers. Students are provided opportunities to explore their scientific
curiosities and interests all while applying their learning to real-life situations and contexts. Scientific literacy is emphasized to ensure
students gain the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop critical thinking and a sense of curiosity about the world around
them.
