Grade 7 Science and Technology

The 2022 Ontario Grade 7 Science and Technology course has five strands: STEM Skills and Connections, Life Systems, Matter and Energy, Structures and Mechanisms, and Earth and Space Systems. The museum maps four of them; Earth and Space Systems has no honest link.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand A: STEM Skills and Connections

How science and technology are used in occupations and with other subjects, and what different communities have contributed (expectation A3).

  1. Mathematics at work: water tunnels and ceilings Occupations and school subjects that work together on real problems: levelling a water tunnel and measuring a ceiling (A3.1, A3.2). CareersInvention × 2
  2. Numbers and paper: contributions that travelled Analysing what different communities contributed to science and technology, through a way of reckoning and a craft that moved (A3.3). Invention × 2

Strand B: Life Systems

Human activity and the environment, and how a class might judge ways of caring for it (expectation B1).

  1. One author on the environment One author's reading of pollution and of living with nature, and how a class could judge whether ways of caring for the environment work (B1.2). Reflection

Strand C: Matter and Energy

Pure substances and mixtures, and how mixtures are separated (expectation C2).

  1. Separating mixtures: the head of a still A process for separating a mixture into its parts and where it was used, through the distilling apparatus (C2.7). Object

Strand D: Structures and Mechanisms

Structures built for people, their forms, failures and materials (expectations D1, D2).

  1. A fountain for a neighbourhood The environmental, social and economic things to weigh when a structure is built for a community need (D1.1). Place
  2. Arches and domes Looking at two arched and domed structures and deciding whether each is solid, frame or shell (D2.1). Place × 2
  3. When a building falls Two accounts of buildings that fell, and the forces and factors a class can ask about (D2.5). Story × 2
  4. What it is made of Why Iraqi potters chose a tin-oxide glaze for fine ware (D2.6). Object
