The time is coming up for you to show what you have learnt during this year. To study for Biology you should never just read over your notes. Use mind maps, keywords, "hospital cards"(remember we discussed them at the beginning of the year). Although there is a lot of work if you start revising soon you will not need to worry at the end of the month.

The next section that we are working on are all the Vertebrates. This includes Amphibians, Fish, Reptiles, Mammals and Birds. Genesis1: 20,24 tells us how unique and wonderfully God has created all these animals.

Hopefully you are building up strength for the fish dissection at the end of this section.

Get ready to study by making a Word Hospital. Write all the new vocabulary words on small cards with their meaning on the back, place all the cards in an envelope . Every time you do homework go over and learn the words. Once you know the words place the card in a second envelope and keep it there for revision at a later stage. You will be supprised at how many new words you can learn in this way.

Arthropods
Arachnids- these are the spiders, scorpions and ticks.
Look at this video clip to have a better idea of some of their characteristics. Write down a paragraph describing the three characteristics of Arthropods in your science exercise book.

Check out some of our grade one's looking at the solar eclipse last week. Remember a solar eclipse happens when the shadow of the moon comes across the earth.

Northwest Christian School Science

Welcome to our own school Grade 7 science blog.

Biology is such an interesting subject and often we cannot cover all the interesting things in class. Here you will find an opportunity to share your ideas and pictures and to even slot into current work being done in class.

Our first tasks this year will be to learn about classification of animals and plant into different classes
