Grade 7-8

By the time students get to grade 7 they have gained a good understanding and awareness of the world around them. They have been introduced to basic scientific principles that explain their knowledge. They have travelled through time to visit the distant and recent past to start thinking about how civilization changed and developed.

Grades 7 and 8 bring deeper scientific insights and help students develop their voices and opinions towards the material studied. More of the assignments focus on formats and material that will come-up in High School, and the volume of information grows gradually to prepare students for grade 9.
