TOPICS TAUGHT
The path to science knowledge...
The items listed below will  be the topics taught. They are generally in the order that I will follow begining with first marking period and flowing to the fourth. The broad topics will have several subtopics that can be accessed through the links for further investigation.
There are three general broad topics taught in the seventh grade science curriculum. They start with:

Diversity of Life - which will include...
Cells, Genetics, and a smattering of the human body
These sections will take possibly two marking periods

Properties of Matter (POM) - which will include...
Mixtures, solutions, density, measurement, very basic chemistry

Delaware's Watershed's - which will include...
freshwater studies, point and nonpoint pollution, water cycle,
Within these broad topics are many mini-units with individual lessons taught. The large topics may take an entire marking period or more and may overflow from marking period to marking period.

When I am able to, I will provide a link to a general scope and sequence to my topics so that parents and students will have a general idea of what I am teaching and where I will be going. I am  no means to be held to the timeline that I provide. There will be many extenuating circumstances that will force me to adapt my timeline. Some mini-units may have to be enhanced, tweaked, or potentially dropped all together.

Within each unit, I will try to have one project. I also intend on using our new computer lab to the best of my ability! I'll have to fight DeKay for it....
