Grade 7 Science Updates:

• In our Amplify investigation, we didn’t just guess what was wrong with the Westfield water — we figured it out like real scientists. We gathered evidence, tested samples, and looked closely at the substances mixed into the water. By observing color changes, particle behavior, and test results, we discovered clues that pointed to the presence of iron. When iron reacts with oxygen and water, it forms rust — and the data matched that pattern. Step by step, using models, tests, and evidence-based reasoning, we solved the mystery and showed how careful scientific investigation can reveal what’s really in our water.

‼️New Unit Alert- Traits and Reproduction‼️

• In this unit, we’ll explore one of the biggest questions in science: Why do living things look and act the way they do? From eye color to plant height to inherited traits in animals, we’ll investigate how traits are passed from parents to offspring. You’ll act like genetic detectives — using models, data, and evidence to figure out how information is stored and transferred in living things. By the end, you’ll understand how reproduction connects to traits and why no two organisms are exactly alike.
