Cluster 1: Interactions within Ecosystems
7-1-03 Identify abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems that allow particular organisms to survive (sealed jar; an early start on Grade 7).
Lessons: Our Living Planet (Can a jar keep itself alive?, Where does rain come from?)
Practice: Our Living Planet workbook · Food Webs: Who Eats Whom? workbook
7-1-12 Provide examples of scavengers and decomposers, and describe their role in cycling matter in an ecosystem (an early start on Grade 7).
Lessons: Food Webs: Who Eats Whom?
Practice: Food Webs: Who Eats Whom? workbook · Our Living Planet workbook
Cluster 2: Heat
7-2-02 Evaluate different types of thermometers using the design process (build and calibrate a thermometer).
Lessons: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move
Practice: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move workbook · Hot Stuff: Heat, Temperature and Cooling workbook · Steppe Science: Staying Warm on the Kazakh Steppe workbook
7-2-03 Demonstrate the effects of heating and cooling on the volume of solids, liquids and gases (balloon, thermometer, sidewalk gaps; a Grade 7 outcome).
Lessons: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move
7-2-09 Plan an experiment to identify materials that are good heat insulators and good heat conductors (mittens, snow dens; a Grade 7 outcome).
Lessons: Winter Science: Ice, Snow and Staying Warm
Practice: Winter Science: Ice, Snow and Staying Warm workbook · Keep It Cool: Ice, Insulation and Staying Comfortable workbook · Simple Circuits: Make It Light Up workbook · Steppe Science: Staying Warm on the Kazakh Steppe workbook

Practice: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move workbook · Hot Stuff: Heat, Temperature and Cooling workbook · Steppe Science: Staying Warm on the Kazakh Steppe workbook
Cluster 2: Particle Theory of Matter
7-2-06 Describe the particle theory of matter and use it to explain changes of state (an early start on Grade 7).
Lessons: Solids, Liquids and Gases (Where does a puddle go?, Why does ice float?)
Practice: Solids, Liquids and Gases workbook · Earth and Sky at Home workbook · Kitchen Chemistry for Families workbook · Winter Science at Home workbook · Living with Water: Salt, Rice and the Mekong workbook
Cluster 2: Mixtures and Solutions
7-2-22 Demonstrate the difference between saturated and unsaturated solutions (crystal-growing lesson; an early start on a Grade 7 outcome).
Lessons: Earth and Sky at Home (Where do rainbows come from?, How do crystals grow?, How does a cloud form?)
Practice: Earth and Sky at Home workbook · Kitchen Chemistry for Families workbook · Winter Science at Home workbook · Solids, Liquids and Gases workbook · Living with Water: Salt, Rice and the Mekong workbook
Cluster 3: Structures and Forces
7-3-12 Use the design process to construct a structure that will withstand the application of an external force (crumple-zone lesson; partial).
