Grade 7 Science Enhancement/ Consolidation Camp
Budget of Work for Teaching – Learning Engagement
Maximum No. of Learners Per Class: 35 Pax
Week Date Lesson Key Idea
Week July 25, Lesson 1: Scientific investigations use fair tests and are written in a standard way, with
1 2023 Scientific Investigations – The Importance of subheadings for the key parts.
Fair Testing
Lesson 2: Scientists use flow charts to summarize the processes in separating substances.
What’s in the Bucket?
July 26, Lesson 3: Scientific processes are used to accurately determine the concentration of a solution.
2023 A Seawater Fish Tank
Lesson 4: Scientific diagrams are used to describe the levels of biological organization.
From Cells to the Biosphere
July 27, Lesson 5: Cells are the basic structure of all living things.
2023 Why Cells?
Lesson 6: Plants need certain abiotic conditions to grow.
Scientific Investigation – How Much Watering?
Week Lesson 7: It is important in science to be able to interpret and convert everyday language read in texts
2 August Biotic and Abiotic into more technical scientific language because technical language helps communicate complex
1, 2023 scientific ideas more succinctly.
Lesson 8: Understanding technical scientific language is important for readers to accurately
Climate Change interpret information from scientific media articles.
August Lesson 9: There is air all around the Earth’s surface, but the layer of air is very, very thin
2, 2023 The Atmosphere of Earth compared to the size of the Earth.
Lesson 10: The atmosphere is composed of layers which interact with the Sun. There is less and
The Layers of the Atmosphere Right Above less air as altitude increases from the surface. This and the Sun’s energy affect the
the Philippines temperature of the layers in different ways.
August Lesson 11: Energy from the Sun interacts with the Earth’s surface and the layers of the
3, 2023 The Sun interacts with our Atmosphere atmosphere which helps to produce an environment on Earth that allows life to
flourish. This is a good greenhouse effect.
Lesson 12: The Earth’s delicate energy balance can be upset by human activities. Rapidly adding
Are Humans Upsetting Earth’s Delicate greenhouse gases to the atmosphere might be producing a bad greenhouse effect, which will
Energy Balance? likely lead to global warming. Global warming can result in changes to climate, polar ice, sea
levels and weather patterns.
Week August Lesson 13: Describing the movement of an object in one dimension allows scientists to
3 8, 2023 Exploring the Scientific Concept of understand and calculate its speed from the time it takes to travel a measured
Movement distance.
Lesson 14: Scientists use displacement to find the final position and the net direction an object
The Difference Bet, Distance & Displacement has moved from its starting point.
August Lesson 15: Representing motion in and tables graphs helps students to notice patterns and make
9, 2023 Let’s Scientifically Analyze Motion connections that develop their thinking about associations between variables.

 Lesson 16: In everyday life, very few things move with a set or uniform/constant velocity – nearly all things
It Is Time to Accelerate! are speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction – they are accelerating, and scientists
can measure that precisely and make predictions about how objects will move using the laws of
physics.
August Lesson 17: Acceleration is any change in motion and occurs when something speeds up, slows
10, Acceleration Can Catch You Out! down or changes direction. The science meaning of acceleration is often counter-
2023 intuitive to what people think from their everyday experiences.
Lesson 18: Applying Science knowledge and skills to everyday situations can be very useful to
Thunder & Lightning – Very, very Frightening! understand and respond to the world around us.
End of Enhancement Camp
Week August Lesson 19: Scientists classify the components of a tropical rainforest into biotic and abiotic.
4 15, The Philippine Rainforest
2023 Lesson 20: Understanding scientists’ predictions about the effect of changes in global
Temperatures Rising! temperatures on Philippine rainforests is critical if people are to make changes to the
way rainforests are managed.
August Lesson 21: Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things.
16, More About Cells!
2023 Lesson 22: A scientific investigation is a fair test when only one factor (variable) is changed or measured at
Hot or Cold Water? a time, while all other factors (variables) are kept the same, and/or a number of trials are used.
August Lesson 23: Determining the concentration of a solution allows scientists to know that the
17, How Much Sugar? quantities of substance are correctly measured in a solution so that any testing with
2023 the solution is fair (valid).
Lesson 24: Separating mixtures can result in providing basic needs.
Scientific Investigation – Using Water from
the Sea?
Week August Lesson 25: The Sun’s energy interacts with all the five layers of the Earth’s Atmosphere.
5 22, Atmospheric Layers!
2023 Lesson 26: The Sun’s energy interacts with all the layers of the Earth’s Atmosphere, and this
How the Atmospheric Layers Interact with helps living things to survive on our planet.
Energy from the Sun
August Lesson 27: The Earth’s Atmosphere need a natural balance of heat and gases to help living things to
23, Disturbing the Atmosphere’s Delicate survive on our planet. But, if the natural balance of heat and gases in the atmosphere is upset
2023 Balance with pollution, our planet might suffer severe negative effects and become uninhabitable.
Lesson 28: Describing the movement of objects allows scientists to understand and calculate their speed
Around the Racetrack and Back to the Start from the time it takes to travel a measured distance. Scientists use displacement to find the
final position and the net direction an object has moved from its starting point.
August Lesson 29: Describing the motion of objects allows scientists to understand and calculate their speed from
24, Representing Acceleration in Graphs the time it takes to travel a measured distance. These measurements also help to describe and
2023 explain acceleration and show how it is different to speed or velocity.
Lesson 30: Describing and measuring the motion of things allows scientists to understand and
The Speed of Sound calculate their speed. The way that the speed of objects can be measured can be also
used to measure the speed of other things like sound, waves and even light.
