7TH GRADE LIFE SCIENCE |
Life science is the study of living things in the world around us. How these living things relate to each other and to their environment is an important part of this study. Life science is not simply a collection of facts, but also includes learning to think logically like scientists. Science is a way of knowing, a process for gaining knowledge and understanding of the natural world. It is not enough for students to read about science. They should observe, inquire, question, formulate and test hypotheses, analyze data, report, and evaluate findings.
