Basic 7 Science Notes

Open a topic to read the notes, copy the key parts into your notebook and do the exercises.

Materials

  1. States of Matter and the Importance of LiquidsIn this topic you will classify materials into solids, liquids and gases using their properties, explain the arrangement of particles in each state, and discuss the importance of liquids to living things.
  2. Important Solids and the Periodic TableIn this topic you will discuss the importance of specific solids to human survival, and identify the first twenty elements of the periodic table and their arrangement into metals, non-metals and noble gases.

Living Cells

  1. The Animal CellIn this topic you will explain what cells are, use a microscope to observe cells, and describe the structure and functions of the parts of an animal cell.
  2. The Plant Cell and Comparing Plant and Animal CellsIn this topic you will observe plant cells, state the functions of the organelles in a plant cell, and compare the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells.

Earth Science

  1. The Water CycleIn this topic you will explain the water cycle as a repeated pattern in nature, describe its stages, and demonstrate evaporation and condensation.
  2. Transpiration, Cloud Formation and the Importance of the Water CycleIn this topic you will demonstrate transpiration in plants, explain how clouds form, and describe the importance of the water cycle to living things and the environment.

Life Cycles of Organisms

  1. The Life Cycle of the HouseflyIn this topic you will describe the structure of the housefly and its complete life cycle, and investigate its developmental stages through observation.
  2. The Housefly as a Menace and Its ControlIn this topic you will discuss why the housefly is a menace to humans, explain how it spreads diseases, and describe ways of reducing its harmful effects.

Crop Production

  1. Plant Nutrient Sources and Their ApplicationIn this topic you will identify the nutrients plants need, list and categorise plant nutrient sources in your community into organic and inorganic, and describe the physical characteristics of fertilisers and how they are applied in the field.

ANIMAL PRODUCTION

  1. Domestic Animals in the CommunityIn this topic you will identify and list domestic animals in your community, classify them into groups, and describe the similarities and differences among them.
  2. Uses of Domestic AnimalsIn this topic you will discuss the domestic and commercial uses of different types of animals and compare the uses of various domestic animals.

Term Revision

  1. Term Revision in ScienceIn this topic you will recall and summarise the term's work on materials, cells, the water cycle, the housefly, crop production and animal production, and practise answering end-of-term questions.
