Middle School SCIENCE Part 2 | 0.50 Credit Hours
Science 7, Part 2
This course explores foundational scientific concepts at a broader scale. Students will examine the human body systems, investigate the properties and states of matter, and explore Earth’s systems including the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Additional topics include Earth’s natural resources, astronomy related to Earth and its position in space, and essential principles of ecology. This is the second course in a two-part seventh-grade science series, although it may be taken independently of Part 1.
