Manitoba Grade 7 Particles & Heat Unit

Teach the matter and energy outcomes of Manitoba's renewed Grade 7 Science (SCI.7.E.1 to E.3 and E.8 to E.11) through ten lessons: the particle theory of matter, solids, liquids and gases, how energy changes particle speed and state, melting and boiling points, conduction, convection, radiation and thermal equilibrium, insulators and conductors, and energy exchanges and efficiency, built around keeping heat where we want it during a Manitoba winter. The ZIP holds 88 editable PowerPoint slides with speaker notes, an 86-page student workbook, a 105-page accommodated edition, a 42-page teacher guide with answer keys and a rubric on Manitoba's report-card levels, and a one-page START HERE guide. The sample shows Lesson 1's Manitoba frost-fern data and the Evidence for Particles stations. Limits: it covers the matter and energy outcomes only; it has no classroom interactive of its own (Lessons 8 and 10 link to a free lab on this site); investigation results vary with equipment, so keys for students' own data give typical results.
