7th Grade Concepts
What causes seasons and changes in length of day? Why do we see phases of the Moon? How do these things affect us? Students will identify, illustrate and relate Earth’s place in the solar system and its movement, hemispheres, seasons, tides, length of daylight, rotation, revolution, phases of the moon, solar eclipses, and lunar eclipses.
Natural events and human activity can alter Earth systems. Students will analyze, describe, predict, make inferences and draw conclusions while studying the effects of erosion, weathering (chemical and mechanical), volcanic eruptions and other Catastrophic events and maintaining equilibrium.
