About this course
Science 7 integrates Indigenous knowledge and scientific inquiry to explore how matter and energy move through living and nonliving systems, how mixtures and solutions behave, how heat transfers and influences matter, and how Earth’s crust changes and provides resources. Students practice observation, modeling, data analysis, and ethical decision-making while investigating local ecosystems, biogeo...
