OCTOBER 1 We've started learning about waves and electromagnetic radiation. In the first week of October we'll have stations in the classroom to teach students about the interaction of EMR with different types of matter followed the following week by understanding refraction, reflection and how the the human eye works. Students will complete a small individual project on EMR. By the end of the month, we should be using the microscope (an instrument that uses light)to start looking at life at the cellular level. LOOKING FOR CURRICULUM STANDARDS? The California Department of Education posts the standards for 7th grade science at this website: http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/scgrade7.asp XX
