SCIENCE Year 7

The year is organised into six modules of work – two in each of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Each module lasts six weeks.

A rota operates so that the order in which forms tackle the modules is different. The only exception to this is Biology 2, which all pupils study after the Whit half-term holiday.

The content of the Year 7 modules is :

Biology 1: Cells, Environment and Feeding Relationships

Biology 2: Variation, Classification and Reproduction

Chemistry 1: Acids, Alkalis and Burning.

Chemistry 2: Kinetic Theory and Solubility

Physics 1: Energy Resources and Electrical Circuits

Physics 2: Forces and The Solar System

Homework

A homework of approximately 30 minutes should be set each week.

The following sorts should occur during the year:

  • Learning of key facts for end of module tests/end of year exam (last week before Whit holiday)
  • Answering written questions, some drawn from previous test papers.
  • With prior permission from parent/guardian, carrying out simple experiments, e.g. pH of household products
  • Research, using any available material e.g. books &/or computer software (including the internet).
  • Collecting of material for use in a subsequent lesson.
