Life Science, Grade 7. Curricular Guide.

This curricular guide focuses on life science and is designed for use with seventh grade students. Life science was chosen as the course of study based on the rationale that, as pupils enter junior high school, they are in early adolescence and find it difficult to understand themselves so that the study of living things with a thorough explanation of the functions of the human body and its behavior seems appropriate. The guide contains objectives (not stated in behavioral form), a content outline, types of suggested activities, materials required, points to consider when evaluating the attainment of the objectives, a 362-word vocabulary list (arranged in alphabetical order), a bibliography for students and for teachers, and a list of filmstrips available in the professional library of the school district (Rock Hill, South Carolina) for which this guide was developed.
