What is 7th Grade Integrated Science?

First, what is Science?

There is a misunderstanding in the world that science is just beakers and chemicals, weights and measurements, tables and graphs. Those are all tools that we use in science, but science is so much more. Science is the search for the truth. Why do things happen? How do things happen? Can we change what happens? ....science is the act of asking questions, coming up with ideas, and testing those ideas to see what happens.

So, what is 7th Grade Integrated Science?

The 7th grade science class is all about discovering cause and effect, as well as introducing cadets to the wide range of science subjects that can be studied. We will introduce physics as we investigate forces and how they cause matter to change and move (or stop moving). We will introduce Earth Science and Geology as we investigate the processes that cause our shape our planet and expose us to natural hazards. We will introduce biology as we investigate the cellular causes for major bodily functions, as well as the genetic causes for our individual traits and the evolution of different species.
