Seventh Grade Science

Jul 29, 2024 | Green Middle School News

In a subunit of this class, students answer the guiding question, “How Can I Help Protect the Planet?” In doing so, students address ways they can realistically have a positive impact on the environment; for instance, students learn about the direct impacts of our waste, with a particular focus on plastics(micro and nano), inspiring them to waste less and use more sustainable materials when possible in their daily lives. While an emphasis is placed on actions that can be taken by seventh graders, the environmental effects of air pollution, deforestation, and mass production of meat are also covered. An anthropological component rounds out this green theme, helping students understand why living sustainably can be a difficult task for some people around the world to do, and why it is so critical that they do their part. All of this is interwoven through a more traditional ecology unit.
