This document outlines the science content standards for 7th grade, focusing on life science, earth and life history, structure and function in living systems, and investigation and experimentation. Key points covered include biological evolution through genetic variation and environmental factors, evidence from geology, fossils, and anatomy that support the theory of evolution, how extinction occurs when environments change, how Earth processes have shaped life over billions of years, the complementary relationship between structure and function in plants and animals, and how to conduct scientific investigations and communicate results.
