freezing, burning
 Water cycle
Light –Seeing things
 Light travels from a source
 Light from a source enters our
eyes
 Components of a solution
 Mirrors reflect light
 Separation of solute from a solution
 Beams change direction when
 Factors affecting the rate of
dissolution-scientific enquiry
Microorganisms
 What are microbes
reflected from surfaces
 Shiny surfaces reflect better
 Microbes cause decay
 Microbes are used in food production
 Identify and name the main parts of the
human circulatory system
 describe the functions of the heart,
blood vessels and blood
 Recognise the impacts of diet, exercise,
drugs and life style on the way their
body functions.
 Shadows and reflections are
different
 Edward Jenner
 Microbes cause illness
Animals including humans
Changing Circuits
 Complete circuit needed to make
bulb or motor
work
 Bulb brightness, wires or motor
speed can be changed in a circuit
and affect output
 Conductors and insulators
 Symbols for electrical
components
Food Chains:
Interdependence or
adaptation
 Green plants need light to grow well
and make food
 New plant material is made using
CO2, H2O and
light
 Fertilizers can add nutrients to soil
 Use keys to identify animals and
plants
 Plants and animals are
interdependent
 Draw circuit diagrams with
symbols
Food chains represent feeding
relationships in a
habitat
 Different plants need different soils
 Construct food chains or different
habitats
Grade VII–Science –The highlighted topics are completed. Eating, drinking and breathing (cont.) will started from April
