MS NGSS

7th Grade Integrated Science Curriculum

Each unit is described in greater detail in the unit overview and description document links below. The PDF file sequencing map is a suggested sequence for instruction that reads from left to right. Feel free to modify the sequence or lessons for your own classroom needs, but please share your innovative ideas and insights on the padlet boards that accompany each learning progression.  A special thank you to Soohee Lee, Ashely Dunbar, Diana Carroll, Kim Pyle, Kristin Zebe, Angelica Jimene, Jana Nisbet and any other middle school science teacher who has helped contrubute the ideas found within this curriculum!
