7th & 8th Grade Curriculum Outline 

Science 101

Students will learn about the development of scientific study over human history, the purpose of scientific inquiry, and how to apply the scientific method. They will also learn and practice writing lab reports throughout this course. 

Anatomy & Physiology

What is the circulatory system? How does it relate to the muscular system? And what does our skeletal system look like? These questions, along with many more, will be covered over three weeks.

Nutrition

For an individual to be healthy and strong, there are several factors they must take into consideration! Like height and food calories! These factors, and many more, will be covered during this crash course on nutrition.

Personality

To find more about your personality, there are many different options out there, like the Enneagram, the True Colors test and even the Myers-Briggs. We’ll learn more about what makes a personality truly unique.

Genetics

Along with personality, genetics and family history play a huge role in understanding our present and who we are.  By studying our past and how our ancestry brought us to the now, we can understand our own history along with the world that came before us.

Soil

Where does soil come from? How does organic material break down? These questions, and many more, will be answered.

Water

Water is a HUGE part of the survival of humans and all animals on this planet. Did you know that nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable?  This is just one of many interesting facts about water we’ll be learning about.

Future City Planning

Ever wonder what goes into city planning and how roads and suburbs are created? The final week before graduation, we’ll discuss all the elements that make a city function properly.
