NEW 2022 CURRICULUM! Ontario Grade 7 Science - Full Year Bundle - GOOGLE/PDF

PRODUCT PREVIEW

FULL YEAR BUNDLE! DIGITAL AND PDF VERSIONS BOTH INCLUDED!

New Ontario 2022 Science Curriculum - Grade 7 – This product was created to cover all of the expectations in the Grade 7 Science Curriculum.

There are 385 activities sheets that cover the expectations in the new science curriculum. This massive unit contains readings, research assignments, diagrams, true/false, and much more!

Most importantly, we have made cross-curriculum connections to the grade 7 language program. Students will practice reading comprehension strategies (making connections, summarizing, visualizing, and questioning) as they work through this unit.

Check out the previews of these units to learn more about how it can benefit your students in science and language!
