Social StudiesCurriculum Overview
In 7th grade, the students conclude the study of the major world regions and learn about the continents of Africa and Asia. The four strands of social studies are integrated, with history as the central strand. The history strand focuses on historical developments essential to understanding a specific region in the modern world. The geography strand relates the importance of geography to each region’s development. The civics strands and introduces students to the economic development of each region.

Dates: 1/30 - 3/30Theme: Relationships Among
Organisms
S7L2: Students will describe the structure and functions of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. a. Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to grow and divide and to make needed materials.b. Relate cell structures (cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, mitochondria) to basic cell functions.c. Explain that cells are organized into tissues, tissues into organs, organs into systems, and systems into organisms.d. Explain that tissues, organs, and organ systems serve the needs cells have for oxygen, food, and waste removal.e. Explain the purpose of major organ systems in the human body.
S7L3: Students will recognize how biological traits are passed on to successive generations. a. Explain the role of genes and chromosomes in the process of inheriting a specific trait.b. Compare and contrast sexual & asexual reproduction in organisms (bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, & animals).c. Recognize that selective breeding can produce plants or animals with desired traits.
S7L5: Students willexamine the evolution of living organisms through inherited characteristics that promote survival of organisms and survival of successive generations. a. Explain that physical characteristics of organisms have changed over successive generations (e.g. Darwin’s finches and peppered moths of Manchester).b. Describe ways in which species on earth have evolved due to natural selection.c. Explain how the fossil record found in sedimentary rock provides evidence for the long history of changing life forms.
S7L1: Students will investigate the diversity of living organisms and how they can be compared scientifically. a. Demonstrate the process for the development of a dichotomous key.b. Classify organisms based on a six-kingdom system and a dichotomous key.
S7L4: Students will examine the dependence of organisms on one another and their environments. a. Demonstrate in a food web that matter is transferred from one organism to another and can recycle between organisms and their environments.b. Explain in a food web that sunlight is the source of energy and that this energy move from organism to organism.c. Recognize that changes in environmental conditions can affect the survival of both individuals and entire species.d. Categorize relationships between organisms that are competitive or mutually beneficial.e. Describe the characteristics of Earth’s major terrestrial biomes (i.e. tropical rain forest, savannah, temperate, desert, taiga, tundra, and mountain) and aquatic communities (i.e. freshwater, estuaries, and marine).
DCSSAlignment of 6-8 Literacy, Numeracy,
and Science Expectations6th-8th Grade Reading and direct literacy instruction 90-120 minutes dailySocial Studies instruction for at least 60 minutes dailyScience instruction for at least 60-90 minutes dailyMath instruction for at least 60 minutes dailyStudents/teachers will read 25 books or 1,000,000 words per year to students(Combined Across the Curriculum, teacher required or student Interest)Students will build vocabulary portfolios (Maintain vocabulary sections in their subject notebooks)Students will maintain word wallsStudents will maintain reading logs monitored by ELA DeptStudents will write one integrated research paper/project per semester (2 per year) or at least a one research paper in each subject each yearStudents will complete at least one science projectStudents will complete a weekly science lab and write-upStudents will maintain a science portfolio or notebook of science activities or experimentsStudents will use Thinking Maps in all classes
Suggestions for Campuses to Fulfill ExpectationsMeet with grade level team, determine books for reading, and consider rotating reading selectionsSite Base Team or Building Leadership Team or Design Team, Grade Level or Dept Teachers may determine topic for integrated researchEnglish Departments should monintor student reading logs and provide a method of accountabilityRequire students to keep one large binder (portfolio) for vocabulary to be used in all subjects for Elementary studentsRequire students to keep a vocabulary section in each subject notebook for secondary studentsShare topics from campus to campus/Inter-Campus Collaboration
