Seventh graders demonstrate the processes of science by posing questions and investigating phenomena through language, methods and instruments of science. They study the body features or systems of several animals.

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Students investigate atomic and nuclear structure of matter by researching historical atomic theories. Students examine Rutherford's studies and discover that many scientific conclusions change over time as new data is collected.

Working in small groups, students explore the operation of spectrophotometer. Using the spectrophotometer, they investigate Beer's Law with everyday items.

Learners identify the different parts of the respiratory system of the human body. They work together to complete an activity and worksheet about the effects of radon on the lungs. They research lung diseases if time permits.

Students learn about the different structures that comprise cell membranes, fulfilling part of the Research and Revise stages of the legacy cycle. Students view online animations of cell membrane dynamics (links provided). Then they...

An interactive demonstration where students make observations of the process of diffusion. Students draw and record observations, make predictions, and make comparisons between what they're observing and how a cell membrane works.

This lab will illustrate diffusion and osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane. A chicken egg will be used as the model cell, because the yolk is actually a single large cell. The surrounding egg white, or albumin, contains water and...
