Year 7 Science

Use the features of living beings to sort living from non-living, and follow a life cycle round from one stage to the next.

Name the nutrients in food, sort familiar foods by the nutrient they are rich in, and read the results of the three food tests.

Tell vitamins from minerals, match each to the deficiency disease its long shortage causes, and say what the protective nutrients do.

Group materials by whether you can see through them, whether they dissolve in water, and whether they shine — and say what makes something matter.

Name the everyday methods for pulling a mixture apart, and pick the right one for a given mixture.

Say why touch cannot judge hotness, read a thermometer correctly, and convert a Celsius temperature to the Kelvin scale.

Tell the three states of water apart by how they behave, name the changes between them, and follow water round the water cycle.

Say why standard units are needed, convert between kilometre, metre, centimetre and millimetre, and read a scale the right way.

Use a reference point to decide whether something is moving, and tell linear, circular and oscillatory motion apart.

Sort materials into magnetic and non-magnetic, find the poles of a magnet, and work out what happens when two magnets are brought together.
