1 7th Grade Life Science Curriculum Map 7th Grade Science August I can distinguish between living and nonliving things, abiotic and biotic variables I can use evidence to formulate the seven characteristics of life. I can use evidence that supports the characteristics to determine if an organism is abiotic or biotic. I can use a microscope to gather evidence that supports the cell theory. I can use my observations of cells to formulate the cell theory. I can argue from evidence to support the cell theory. I can differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. I can contrast the methods of asexual and sexual reproduction with prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Explain the ways cells contribute to the function of living organisms. How do organisms live and grow? Online Picture Characteristics of Life Field Trip Biodiversity Walk Microscope Stations - Cheek Cells Cells Discovery Stations - Microscopes Chromebooks, PowerPoints, Lab/Lab Stations, Lab Equipment, Guided Notes, Cell Songs, Videos
2 September I can observe osmosis in a cell. I can explain how the cell membrane maintains homeostasis through osmosis. I can compare cell organelles and their role in protein synthesis to those of workers in a factory. I can create an analogy explaining the role of cell organelles in protein synthesis. I can demonstrate the role cell organelles have in maintaining homeostasis by producing proteins. I can explain the function of each organelle in a eukaryotic cell. I can develop a cell model to demonstrate how cells produce proteins. I can explain how organelles in eukaryotic cells maintain homeostasis by producing proteins. What are cells? How do cells contribute to the function and structure of living organisms? (Homeostasis, Protein Synthesis, ATP Energy, Division, DNA) What are cells made of? What are cell organelles and what are their functions? How do cells make protein? Egg Osmosis Lab Cell Organelle Walk-About Cell Cookie Factory Lab Create Your Own Cell Analogy Videos
3 October I can describe the shape and structure of DNA and explain its purpose. I can use a model to describe the relationship among DNA, genes, and chromosomes. I can describe how DNA makes copies of itself before a cell divides I can describe how cells grow, repair, and replace themselves through the process of mitosis I can describe how reproductive cells are created through the process of meiosis. I can analyze the results of an experiment to confirm that all livings things have DNA. How can one explain the ways cells contribute to the function of living organisms? How do organisms live and grow? Why do cells divide? Do all cells divide the same way? Why does DNA copy itself before cell division?

4 November I can collect and analyze data to determine how individuals have different and similar characteristics I can explain how traits are passed from parent to offspring. I can explain how DNA replicates itself to pass genetic information through cell division I can explain how changes in DNA cause genetic mutations. I can explain how genetic mutations can result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to an organism. Where do I get my traits and characteristics from? What causes mutations in DNA? How is our world influenced by genetics? What is the impact of manipulating the genes of an organism? Genetic Traits Survey Taste Strips Lab Crazy Traits Module Labs- Dominant and Recessive Traits Clyde and Claire Punnett Square Problems DNA Detectives (Karyotypes of Genetic Disorders) Genetic Disorder/Technologies Research Benchmark Testing - Performance Series Chromebooks, PowerPoints, Lab/Lab Stations, Lab Equipment, Guided Notes, Song, Articles, Videos
5 December I can define natural selection. I can create a model to demonstrate the process of natural selection with a common item. I can support with evidence why specific traits of a population become more frequent. I can support with evidence why specific traits of a population are lost. I can explain how adaptations lead to natural selection over time. I can support with evidence why specific traits of a population become more frequent and lead to the suppression of other traits over time. How do organisms change over time? What role does DNA mutations play in natural selection? How do organisms adapt to their environment? What are the differences between natural selection and evolution? How does the fossil record provide evidence to support the theory of evolution? Battle of the Beaks Rock Pocket Mouse Article Crazy Traits Survival of the Fittest Natural Selection Analogy with common items. Example: Carts to Cars Benchmark Testing - Performance Series Chromebooks, PowerPoints, Lab/Lab Stations, Lab Equipment, Guided Notes, Song, Articles, Videos
6 January I can describe connections between the levels of organization in an organism (cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism). I can explain the basic function of skeletal system. I can identify the main bones of the body. I can identify the main types of joints. I can explain the basic function of muscular system. I can identify the main muscles in the body. I can explain how muscles pull on bones to produce movement. I can demonstrate how muscles pull on bones. How does each system contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the human body? How do lifestyle choices affect the proper functioning of the human body systems? Chicken Wing Dissection - Musculoskeletal System Interactive Musculoskeletal Games Lab Specimens, Videos, Models

How does each system contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the human body How do lifestyle choices affect the proper functioning of the human body systems? Simulation of pathway of blood through heart Sheep Heart Dissection Sheep Pluck Demo - Lungs/trachea/heart Air Flow Graphic Organizer Frog Dissection Lab Specimens, Videos, Models
9 April I can explain how living things are categorized into groups based on similarities I can describe how biotic variables depend on the abiotic variables in an ecosystem I can provide examples of how the ecosystem provides raw materials for human use. I can explain how nutrients cycle into and out of organisms. I can explain how nutrients cycle into and out of organisms through decomposition. I can explain how nutrients cycle into and out of organisms through photosynthesis. How does the biodiversity of Alabama compare to other parts of the United states and other parts of the world? How does the loss of biodiversity affect an ecosystem? How have ecosystem services in Alabama been disrupted because of human impacts such as deforestation, invasive species, damming of rivers, etc? Plants act as carbon dioxide recyclers. Why is this an important function? What will happen to the atmosphere as deforestation continues? How will deforestation affect an ecosystem? Diverting water from rivers or damming rivers sometimes upsets natural processes. Lakes and rivers are shrinking around the world from excessive water usage. Provide specific examples and why they are shrinking. How does this affect the surrounding ecosystems? How should governments get involved in environmental issues?
