Grade 7 Science Assessment
Comprehensive assessment covering NC DPI 2023 K-12 Science Standards for Grade 7
Hydrosphere - Intro
A 10-minute in-class introduction to the hydrosphere. Students define the hydrosphere, identify major water reservoirs, and explain a basic interaction between water, humans, and other Earth systems.
Predicting Traits
Students learn how to use Punnett squares to predict the probability of offspring inheriting specific traits, understanding dominant and recessive alleles, genotypes, and phenotypes.
Grade 8 Quick Quiz: Light, Albedo, Measurement, and the Water Cycle
A 5-question quiz on visible light and color, albedo, SI vs US customary units with a conversion, key water cycle processes, and Earth's usable water.

Thunderstorms 101 | National Geographic
Guided notes worksheet for the Thunderstorms 101 video from National Geographic. Students fill in blanks while watching the video.
Your Cosmic Address
Students explore Earth's place in the universe, from our local solar system to the Milky Way galaxy and beyond, while understanding why Earth is uniquely suited to support life.
Every Drop Counts
Students explore how Earth's water is distributed, trace water through the water cycle, and analyze why freshwater is such a precious resource.
Under Our Feet
Students explore how water moves through soil and rock to form aquifers, understand how watersheds collect and channel water, and analyze human impacts on water quality.
Mixing It Up
Students compare sexual and asexual reproduction, understand how each affects genetic variation, and analyze why genetic diversity is crucial for species survival.
Rivers in the Ocean
Students explore how ocean currents form, how they distribute heat around the planet, and how they influence weather patterns and climate in coastal regions.
The Circle of Life: How Living Things Reproduce — Guided Notes
Students watch 'The Circle of Life: How Living Things Reproduce' and complete structured guided notes with fill-in-the-blank entries organized by video section: characteristics of organisms, plant reproduction (seeds, spores, asexual), animal reproduction (eggs, live birth), fungal reproduction (spores, budding), and microorganism reproduction (binary fission). After the video, students review their notes and complete assessments covering sexual vs. asexual reproduction, organism-specific reproductive strategies, and key vocabulary.
