Manitoba Grade 7 Gravity & Space Unit

Teach the gravity and space outcomes of Manitoba's renewed Grade 7 Science (SCI.7.E.4 to E.7 and E.12 to E.16) through ten lessons: gravity as a universal force, mass and weight, orbits, tides on Hudson Bay, the scale of the Solar System, Moon phases and eclipses, the turning sky, the motion of the planets, latitude, longitude and the seasons, and Canada's place in space exploration, ending with a Canada in Space mission proposal. The ZIP holds 89 editable PowerPoint slides with speaker notes, an 86-page student workbook, a 103-page accommodated edition, a 48-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 Churchill rocket-launch data and the Drop Zone investigation. Limits: it covers the gravity and space outcomes only and does not claim D.5 or D.6; tide times and heights are Fisheries and Oceans Canada predictions, not measurements; it has no classroom interactive of its own (Lessons 6, 7 and 9 link to free labs on this site). Written by an Ontario Certified Teacher; not reviewed or endorsed by Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning.
