SYLLABUS IN SCIENCE 7
SY: 2016-2017
PROGRAM STANDARDS
The learner demonstrates understanding of basic science concepts, applies science process skills, and exhibits scientific
attitudes and values to solve problems critically, innovate beneficial products, protect the environment and conserve
resources, enhance the integrity and wellness of people, and make informed and unbiased decisions about social issues
that involve science and technology. This understanding will lead to learner’s manifestation of respect for life and the
environment, bearing in mind that Earth is our ONLY HOME.
GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS
At the end of Grade 7, learners can distinguish mixtures from substances through semi-guided investigations. They
realize the importance of fair testing when conducting investigations. After studying how organ systems work together in
plants and animals in the lower grade levels, learners can use a microscope when observing very small organisms and
structures. They recognize that living things are organized into different levels: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and
organisms. These organisms comprise populations and communities, which interact with non-living things in ecosystems.
Learners can describe the motion of objects in terms of distance and speed, and represent this in tables, graphs, charts
and equations. They can describe how various forms of energy travel through different mediums.
Learners describe what makes up the Philippines as a whole and the resources found in the archipelago. They can
explain the occurrence of breezes, monsoons, and ITCZ, and how these weather systems affect people. They can explain
why seasons change and demonstrate how eclipses occur.
