7th Grade Science Resource Guide 2015-2016 4th Quarter
Unit #1: Cell Division and Specialization (7.3.3, 7.3.5, 7.3.6, 7.3.7) Describe the steps required for a cell to divide and justify the importance of
this phenomenon in the survival of an organism and species.
Sequence of Standards and Objectives
7.3.3 Explain that, although the way cells function is
similar in all living organisms, multicellular organisms
have specialized cells whose specialized functions are
directly related to their structure.
SWBAT: Give examples of specialized cells, explain
the differentiation of cells and their structure,
illustrate a variety of cells.
7.3.5 Explain that cells in multicellular organisms
repeatedly divide to make more cells for growth and
repair.
SWBAT: Define cell division, list and explain the
purpose(s) for cell division, describe / illustrate the
basic step by step process for cell division.

7.3.6 Explain that after fertilization a small cluster of
cells divides to form the basic tissues of an embryo and
further develops into all the specialized tissues and
organs within a multicellular organism.
SWBAT: Define the process of fertilization (including
specialized cells involved), explain the relationship
between cells / tissue / and organs, recognize the
passing of genes occurs during the process of
fertilization.

Unit #2: Science Engineering and Technology (7.4.1, 7.4.2, 7.4.3, 7.4.4) Physical Science Energy (7.1.2, 7.1.1, 7.1.3)
Design and construct a device that converts energy from one form to another to perform work. Review Energy transfer, conservation of energy, and
environmental impact of energy in preparation for end of year assessment.
Sequence of Standards and Objectives
7.4.1 Understand that energy is the capacity to do work.
7.4.2 Explain that energy can be used to do work using many
processes (e.g., generation of electricity by harnessing wind
energy).
7.1.2 Describe and give examples of how energy can be
transferred from place to place and transformed from one
form to another through radiation, convection and
conduction.

SWBAT: Define energy, work, and give examples of
units used to measure each, explain the way energy
can transfer when generating electricity, Analyze
specific examples to properly explain how heat is
transferred.

7.1.1 Explain that when energy is transferred from one
system to another, the total quantity of energy does not
change.
7.4.3 Explain that power is the rate that energy is converted
from one form to another.
7.4.4 Explain that power systems are used to provide
propulsion for engineered products and systems
7.1.3 Recognize and explain how different ways of obtaining,
transforming and distributing energy have different
environmental consequences.
SWBAT: Explain the relationship between power and
energy, analyze propulsions systems and determine the role
power plays within the system, give examples of how those
systems might impact the environment & suggest
alternatives.
