Embarking on Year 7 Science
Year 7 brings a fun journey into different areas of Science like Biological, Chemical, Earth and Space, and Physical Sciences. The curriculum is designed to spark curiosity and build a strong foundation in basic scientific ideas.
Biological Sciences
- Organizing Life: Understand how scientists classify the vast array of organisms on Earth, from tiny bacteria to large mammals, and learn the importance of this organization.
- Ecosystem Dynamics: Explore how living things interact with each other and their environments, and how these relationships form complex food chains and webs, while also considering how human actions can affect these natural connections.
Earth and Space Sciences
- Celestial Movements: Grasp how the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon give rise to the cycles of day and night, the changing seasons, and lunar phases, including eclipses.
