Seventh graders at Eisenhower Middle School explore the natural world in 2 domains: life processes and planetary dynamics. Students enter the gateway to this exploration by investigating the methods of science, commonly known as the scientific method.

The characteristics of life, importance of the cell, animal systems, plant processes, principles of heredity, ecological systems, human body systems, and the impact of microbes comprise the topics of the various units for the Life Sciences.

Earth movement relative to the moon and sun, Earth's structure, planetary dynamics (earthquakes, rock formation, volcanism, etc.) and movement of heavenly bodies in our solar system are the topics in the Earth and Space Science units.
