2018-19 PACING CALENDAR -GRADE 7 SCIENCE M/J Comprehensive Science 2

Making Connections for the Grade 7 Learner through an Emphasis on the Nature of Science and Life Science in the 7th grade Science classroom

This Pacing Calendar is designed to provide a realistic timeline for MS Science teachers to support them in

planning standards-aligned lessons in a specific order. It attempts to provide a theme-based storyline for our

early adolescent learners and is chunked to provide opportunities for Formative Assessment along the way.

2018-19 Weekly Calendar for Grade 7 Science

7th grade Science M/J Comprehensive Science 2 (CS2) – An instructional emphasis should be placed upon the NOS integrated into the content standards aligned to M/J Life Science in the 7th grade Science classroom Nature of Science (NOS) benchmarks should be embedded into all 7th grade content standards throughout the school year Big Idea 1 - The Practice of Science SC.7.N.1.1- Define a problem from the seventh grade curriculum, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigation of various types, such as systematic observations or experiments, identify variables, collect and organize data, interpret data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions.

SC.7.N.1.2 Differentiate replication (by others) from repetition (multiple trials). SC.7.N.1.3 Distinguish between an experiment (which must involve the identification and control of variables) and other forms of scientific investigation and explain that not all scientific knowledge is derived from experimentation. SC.7.N.1.4 Identify test variables (independent variables) and outcome variables (dependent variables) in an experiment.

SC.7.N.1.5 Describe the methods used in the pursuit of a scientific explanation as seen in different fields of science such as biology, geology, and physics.

SC.7.N.1.6 Explain that empirical evidence is the cumulative body of observations of a natural phenomenon on which scientific explanations are based. SC.7.N.1.7 Explain that scientific knowledge is the result of a great deal of debate and confirmation within the science community.

Big Idea 2 - The Characteristics of Science Knowledge SC.7.N.2.1 Identify an instance from the history of science in which scientific knowledge has changed when new evidence or new interpretations are encountered.

Big Idea 3 - The Role of Theories, Laws, Hypotheses, and Models SC.7.N.3.1 Recognize and explain the difference between theories and laws and give several examples of scientific theories and the evidence that supports them.

SC.7.N.3.2 Identify the benefits and limitations of the use of scientific models.

Lessons and resources to address the benchmarks listed can be found in the Shared OneNote Notebook curriculum guide and in IDEAS in the MS Science icon

High School Science standards (SC.912) identify expectations for advanced courses as recommended by the FLDoE

SC.7.N.2.1 Identify an instance from the history of science in which scientific knowledge has changed when new evidence or new interpretations are encountered PROMPT: Based on evidence, if a Protist could "protest" and be reclassified into another kingdom, which Protist could you help make the strongest argument? After reading informational text and completing the classification activity, write an essay in which you address the question and argue which kingdom is best for your protest based on shared characteristics. Support your position with evidence from the text(s). (Argumentation/Analysis) Investigate the Protist Kingdom and make an argument, based on evidence, for a Protist to be reclassified into the Fungus, Plant or Animal Kingdom.
