Celebrating Year 7 Science
In Year 7 Science students explore the laboratory, Bunsen burners, and learn how to conduct experiments. The unit of Earth and Beyond is delivered through 3 topics – Forces, Space and Classification. Simple types of forces and the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces are examined in the Forces unit. Launching bottle rockets enables students to compare these forces and the impact of gravity.
In the Space unit, students explore the solar system and learn about the causes of seasons, moon phases and eclipses. Different types of living things and how they are organised into different groups are explored in Classification. In Semester 2, student learn about water as an essential resource and how it is purified as in a unit on separating substances.
Through discussion of these substances, students develop understandings about the differences between solids, liquids and gases and changes that can happen through different types of reactions.
Finally, students investigate how animals interact in ecosystems by constructing food chains and webs and begin to understand how human behaviour has impacted the environment.
