Study Guide Project

In our ongoing efforts to become better at studying and preparing for tests and quizzes, seventh-graders are working in groups to create a study guide on the topic we have learned about this year. Topics to choose from are:
  • scientific methods
  • force and motion
  • matter and atoms
  • energy
  • cells
  • genetics
Here is the assignment sheet for this project. Each group has a list of information they must cover in their study guide, and those lists can be found here.
