Course Description
The Grade 7 Science program is the next step in the Cambridge Lower Secondary stage, guiding students toward more in-depth scientific knowledge, structured across the key disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Based on the Cambridge Lower Secondary Science Framework, the online version of the program is designed to:
-
Deepen mastery of foundational knowledge
-
Strengthen analytical and critical thinking skills
-
Develop independent scientific research abilities
Through experimental simulations, data analysis, and scientific reporting, students begin to cultivate the mindset and approach of a true scientific researcher.

🔹 Learning Methodology
The program enables students to acquire knowledge and become familiar with secondary-level scientific learning methods, gradually building research thinking, teamwork skills, and academic debate abilities.
1. Investigation-Based Learning
Students engage in scientific investigations through real-life scenarios such as “How can we measure velocity?” or “How does food affect health?”
2. Virtual Labs & Simulations
Conduct simulated experiments, including measuring reaction rates, monitoring electric circuits, and observing cells through a virtual microscope.
3. Cross-Disciplinary Science Projects
Integrate Biology, Chemistry, and Physics knowledge into projects such as building body system models, creating mini renewable energy systems, and analyzing water quality.
4. Scientific Communication
Develop skills in writing reports, presenting results, drawing charts, and explaining phenomena using age-appropriate academic language.
5. Learning Portfolios
Maintain a record of learning progress through reflective writing, science journals, and experiment results—forming a basis for process-based assessment.
