Science Resource Book Grade 7 1
Content curated by Ekya Learning Centre This resource book includes learning resources applicable for the entire duration of the academic year. The resource book has been curated using a combination of books, published articles and digital resources. The major portion of our science learning happens in the classroom through research, activities, conscious learning and investigations. How this resource will be used? ❖ Every Unit has a cover page which indicates the intent of the unit. ❖ Selected portions from this resource will be used in class to discuss concepts. In addition to this, students will also engage in notebooking and completing assignments and worksheets aligned to the objectives of the concepts being taught. ❖ In order to equip students with critical thinking and reasoning skills, we give students multiple opportunities to evaluate and connect information from various sources. ❖ Some of these resources will be used during classroom interactions by our educators. Others may be experiences students may engage in outside of the classroom to gain relevant learning about the topics being dealt with. How not to use this resource? ❖ Students will not be expected to memorise content from the resource books. Summarising key ideas, using the experiences they have explored or engaged with may be more relevant to answer open-ended questions in their assessments. ❖ Relevant portions applicable to the written review and/or term-end exam if applicable will be called out to students. Students will use learnings from all their experiences and apply the same in their assessments. ❖ Copying or sharing this resource is not a useful practice for anyone other than students of the Ekya and CMR Group of Institutions since the syllabus and curriculum are exclusive and aligned to specific standards. 2

Unit: Skills in Science Overview: This unit helps students understand how science works and the Nature of Science (NOS). This unit focuses on science and engineering practices to help students develop scientific and critical-thinking abilities and enrich their understanding of science. It introduces students to the scientific methodology and practices used for carrying out scientific investigation. Enduring Understanding: ● Science is curiosity in thoughtful action about the world and how it behaves. ● Science is as much about doing as knowing. ● Careful observation is a foundation of all science ● Scientists observe nature and ask questions ● Asking questions is an important part of being a great scientist. ● Scientists ask questions to show their curiosity about the world. Essential Questions: ● Who is a scientist? ● How do scientists think about the world in which they live? ● How do scientists design and conduct scientific investigations? ● How do scientists respond to new evidence that challenges existing beliefs? ● How do scientists know so much? ● How do scientists use Data? ● How do scientists communicate their findings? ● What can we do to be good researchers? Topic/Content In this unit we will learn about: ● Science and Nature of Science ● Understanding Science Flowchart ● Online Science Journal ● Building a Scientific Argument ● CER Framework ● Scientific Experiments and Measurements ● Using Data Visualization to Engage in ScientificPractices ● Critically Reading Scientific Papers Essential Vocabulary: ● curiosity, claim, evidence, reasoning, scientific argument, data, bar graph, pie chart, histogram, scientific reading. 4
