2. In 7th grade science, students learn how to explore and investigate by applying the scientific method and the metric system.  Students will learn about potential and kinetic energy, heat energy transfer, waves, and nature’s forces and the effect they have.  Students will also learn about chemical reactions, energy in ecosystems, how living things are put together, and how living things grow, develop and make new organisms.  

3. All work is done in pencil!

4. Bellringer Journal
This is a notebook or place in their folder where they will keep the daily bell ringers that they write the answers to in class.  The Bellringer journal will be collected and graded.

6. Lab Policy
The labs performed during class by students are designed to offer a hands-on look at science concepts.  Students will be working with partners or in groups to perform labs. Students must follow all lab safety rules in order to participate in labs.  If any of the rules are violated, the student will be removed from the lab for the safety of everyone.
