HERE ARE THE SCIENCE CONTENT STANDARDS YOUR CHILD MUST MEET!!!!
Grade 7 : Standard 1 - Cells
*Conceptual Strand 1
All living things are made of cells that perform functions necessary for life.
*Guiding Question 1
How are plant and animals cells organized to carry on the processes of life?
GLE 0707.1.1 Make observations and describe
the structure and function of organelles found in
plant and animal cells.
GLE 0707.1.2 Summarize how the different
levels of organization are integrated within living
systems.
GLE 0707.1.3 Describe the function of different
organ systems and how collectively they enable
complex multicellular organisms to survive.
GLE 0707.1.4 Illustrate how cell division occurs
in sequential stages to maintain the chromosome
number of a species.
GLE 0707.1.5 Observe and explain how
materials move through simple diffusion.
with a city or school.
Grade 7 : Standard 3 - Flow of Matter and Energy
*Conceptual Strand 3
Matter and energy flow through the biosphere.
*Guiding Question 3
What scientific information explains how matter and energy flow through the
biosphere?
GLE 0707.3.1 Distinguish between the basic
features of photosynthesis and respiration.
GLE 0707.3.2 Investigate the exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide between living things
and the environment.
Grade 7 : Standard 4 - Heredity
*Conceptual Strand 4
Plants and animals reproduce and transmit hereditary information between
generations.
*Guiding Question 4
What are the principal mechanisms by which living things reproduce and
transmit information between parents and offspring?
GLE 0707.4.1 Compare and contrast the
fundamental features of sexual and asexual
reproduction.
GLE 0707.4.2 Demonstrate an understanding of
sexual reproduction in flowering plants.
GLE 0707.4.3 Explain the relationship among
genes, chromosomes, and inherited traits.
GLE 0707.4.4 Predict the probable appearance
of offspring based on the genetic characteristics
of the parents.
Grade 7 : Standard 7 – The Earth
*Conceptual Strand 7
Major geologic events that occur over eons or brief moments in time
continually shape and reshape the surface of the Earth, resulting in
continuous global change.
*Guiding Question 7
How is the earth affected by long-term and short term geological cycles and
the influence of man?
GLE 0707.7.1 Describe the physical properties
of minerals.
GLE 0707.7.2 Summarize the basic events that
occur during the rock cycle.
GLE 0707.7.3 Analyze the characteristics of the
earth’s layers and the location of the major
plates.
GLE 0707.7.4 Explain how earthquakes,
mountain building, volcanoes, and sea floor
spreading are associated with movements of the
earth’s major plates.
GLE 0707.7.5 Differentiate between renewable
and nonrenewable resources in terms of their use
by man.
GLE 0707.7.6 Evaluate how human activities
affect the earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere.
Grade 7 : Standard 11 - Motion
*Conceptual Strand 11
Objects move in ways that can be observed, described, predicted, and measured.
*Guiding Question 11
What causes objects to move differently under different circumstances?
GLE 0707.11.1 Identify six types of simple
machines.
GLE 0707.11.2 Apply the equation for work in
experiments with simple machines to determine
the amount of force needed to do work.
GLE 0707.11.3 Distinguish between speed and
velocity.
GLE 0707.11.4 Investigate how Newton’s laws
of motion explain an object’s movement.
GLE 0707.11.5 Compare and contrast the basic
parts of a wave.
GLE 0707.11.6 Investigate the types and
fundamental properties of waves.
impacts an object’s motion.
