CURRICULUM MAP SCIENCE GRADE 7

Grade Level Standard/s:

At the end of Grade 7, learners can distinguish mixtures from substances through semi-guided investigations. They realize the importance of air testing when conducting investigations.
After studying how organ systems work together in plants and animals in the lower grade levels, learners can use a microscope when observing very small organisms and structures. They
recognize that living things are organized into different levels: Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. These organisms comprise populations and communities, which interact
with non-living things in ecosystems. Learners can describe the motion of objects in terms of distance and speed, and represent this in tables, graphs, charts, and equations. They can
describe how various forms of energy travel through different mediums. Learners describe what makes up the Philippines as a whole and the resources found in the archipelago. They can
explain the occurrence of breezes, monsoons, and ITCZ, and how these weather systems affect people. They can explain why seasons change and demonstrate how eclipses occur.

mixtures. They learn how to express
concentrations of solutions
qualitatively and quantitatively. They
distinguish mixtures from substances
based on a set of properties
Learners recognize that materials
combine in various ways and through
different processes, contributing to
the wide variety of materials. Given
this diversity, they recognize the
importance of a classification system.
They become familiar with elements
and compounds, metals and non-
metals, and acids and bases.
Further, learners demonstrate that
homogeneous mixtures can be
separated using various techniques.
Living Things
and Their
Environment
Learners are introduced to the levels
of organization in the human body
and other organisms. They learn that
organisms consist of cells, most of
which are grouped into organ systems
that perform specialized functions.
Learners are taught that asexual
reproduction results in genetically
identical offspring whereas sexual
reproduction gives rise to variation.
Learners learn that the cells in similar
tissues and organs in other animals
are similar to those in human beings
but differ somewhat from cells found
in plants.
Learners learn that interactions occur
among the different levels of
organization in ecosystems.
Organisms of the same kind interact
Force, Motion,&
Energy
Learners observe and explore and
investigate how things around them
move and can be moved. They also
identify things in their environment
that can cause changes in the
movement of objects.
Learners observe and identify
different sources of light, heat, sound,
and electricity in their environment
and their uses in everyday life.
From a simple understanding of
motion, learners study more scientific
ways of describing (in terms of
distance, speed, and acceleration)
and representing (using motion
diagrams, charts, and graphs) the
motion of objects in one dimension.
This time learners recognize that
Earth & Space
Learners will explore and locate
places using a coordinate system.
They will discover that our country’s
location near the equator and along
the Ring of Fire influences elements
of up Philippine environment (e.g.,
natural resources and climate).
Learners will explain the occurrence
of atmospheric phenomena (breezes,
monsoons, and ITCZ) that are
commonly experienced in the country
as a result of the Philippines’ location
with respect to the equator, and
surrounding bodies of water and
landmasses.
Learners will explain the occurrence
of the seasons and eclipses as a result
of the motions of the Earth and the
