Nuffield Science Year 7

The Nuffield Science for Key Stage Three course materials for Year Seven were planned as an integrated science course.

T he topics

Topic A Being a scientist

Topic B Senses

Topic C Measuring

Topic D Solar System

Topic E Forces

Topic F Elements and compounds

Topic G Atoms and molecules

Topic H Patterns

The resources

The activity sheets form the core of the course. They are supported (for teachers and technicians) by the teachers' guide and, for students, by the pupils' book. Sometimes the pupils' book presents a context from which the activities arise: sometimes it provides applications of science studied in the activities. There are many questions in both the activity sheets and the pupils' book. The suggested activities are varied. They include practical investigations, teacher demonstrations, designing and making, fieldwork, discussion and debate as well as puzzles.

Your digital toolkit for Year 7 Science

Table of contents, year 7 science overview.

Year 7 Science is a varied and interesting subject that is often well-liked and sparks curiosity in students. It involves hands-on and investigative work, with model making and experiments undertaken both in the science lab and out in the field (which may be the wider school, community or natural environment). Depending on the school, students are often able to follow their own interests to a degree, picking topics to explore within the realms of the curriculum. Their work is assessed in class and through assignments and short in-school tests.

What do students learn in Year 7 Science?

The learning for Year 7 Science students is primarily environmentally focused, with students investigating and exploring the diversity of life on Earth and using this learning to expand their scientific knowledge. They will begin to develop an understanding of the role of classification to order and organise information, and the ways in which systems – both natural and man-made – work within our environment and society.

The idea of renewable and non-renewable resources and their relationship within a timescale are investigated and explored through the Year 7 Science curriculum, as well as the repercussions of the use and abuse of such resources.

Year 7 students will explore forces in nature, including the relationships between the Earth, Moon and Sun. Students can expect to use modelling to explore theories and make measurements, as well as to look into such systems as food chains and water cycles.

How is content divided in the Year 7 Science curriculum?

There are three content strands in the Year 7 Science curriculum: Science understanding; Science as a human endeavour; and Science inquiry skills. Here’s what’s included in each of these strands:

Science understanding includes:

Biological sciences, which looks at the interactions between organisms and the effects of human activities, as represented by food chains and food webs.

Chemical sciences, namely mixtures and solutions and how they contain a combination of pure substances that can be separated using a range of techniques.

Earth and space sciences, which looks into phenomena on Earth, such as seasons and eclipses, and how they are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth and moon. Also students will investigate the distinction between Earth’s non-renewable resources, such as oil, and its renewable ones, such as water.

Physical sciences, including how a change to an object’s motion is caused by unbalanced forces, such as Earth’s gravitational attraction, acting on the object.

Science as a human endeavour includes:

Nature and development of science, or how scientific knowledge has changed peoples’ understanding of the world and can change with new evidence. Also how science knowledge can develop through collaboration across disciplines and with contributions from a range of cultures.

Use and influence of science investigates how solutions to contemporary issues found using science and technology impact on other areas of society, with ethical considerations. This looks into how people use science understanding and skills in their jobs.

Science inquiry skills include:

Questioning and predicting is about identifying questions and problems that can be investigated scientifically and making predictions based on scientific knowledge.

Planning and conducting as a skill involves collaboratively and individually planning and running a range of investigation types, including fieldwork and experiments, while ensuring safety and ethical guidelines are followed. Also, students learn to measure and control variables, and select equipment appropriate to the task and later, collect data with accuracy.

Processing and analysing data and information includes constructing and using a range of representations, including graphs, keys and models to represent and analyse patterns or relationships in data using digital technologies as appropriate. Also, summarising this data, with students doing their own investigations and using secondary sources, and using scientific understanding to identify relationships and draw conclusions based on evidence.

Evaluating is reflecting on scientific investigations including considering the quality of the data collected, and identifying where improvements could be made. It’s also about using scientific knowledge and findings from investigations to evaluate claims based on evidence.

Communicating is the ability to communicate ideas, findings and evidence based solutions to problems using scientific language and representations, along with the use of digital technologies where appropriate.

How is Year 7 Science assessed?

Science is a hands-on, investigative subject, making it difficult to complete through bookwork alone, and to test through written examinations. Instead, most schools will assess a Year 7 student’s learning through the year, taking examples of their experiments, questioning, explanations, investigations and scientific analysis to form a portfolio of work, which will determine the breadth, depth and wealth of their learning.

Fortunately, there are a wealth of online teaching resources these days, written by curriculum experts, that support students to achieve excellent results in their school assessments.

How does a Year 7 student study for Science?

While much of the Science curriculum is practical, students may have some in-class tests to check their knowledge of certain topics. This could include labelling a diagram with the names of scientific equipment, labelling the body parts of an animal, or the different parts of a cell. This learning can be practised to ensure this knowledge is retained.

Vocabulary can also be studied. For students, having a good knowledge of the language used in the lab and the field will help make you a more efficient and adept scientist. This can be done through practice online tests or by creating flashcards of key terminology.

Year 7 is the first year when most students will realise the value and scope of science, and begin to work with the subject in a hands-on manner. For many students, this is an exciting step into a world that holds promise for the future, while others may not find their niche within the curriculum. Whether they are future scientists or just here to absorb knowledge of the world around them, there is great value in the Year 7 curriculum for understanding the systems that make life work.

There is plenty of crossover from science into other areas of their learning, particularly critical thinking and inquiry skills.

Year 7 science: what your child learns

Bunsen burner

Science is usually taught in ability sets in Year 7. The curriculum for KS3 is the same for all sets, but higher groups will be working towards attaining higher levels, while the lower sets will be given more support.

The syllabus includes chemistry, physics and biology and is designed to build on the topics the children studied at primary school. Children will be working with familiar subjects but the work will be more advanced. They will be working in laboratories, carrying out more experiments and recording and analysing their results. This will help the children to develop particular areas of scientific learning:

  • Practical and enquiry skills
  • Critical understanding of evidence
  • Communication

Science in Year 7 – what your child will learn:

The science curriculum covers the whole of KS3 so this year your child could be studying one or more of the following topics:

Energy, electricity and forces

  • Renewable energy
  • Emerging technologies
  • Electrical circuits
  • How to measure current and voltage
  • Force and its effect on objects
  • Magnetic fields
  • Electromagnets

Transition pack

Supporting Year 7 science at home

  • If your child enjoys experimenting, ask if your school has a science club
  • Buy a pH testing kit and encourage your child to check out some of the foods in your kitchen or the soil in your garden
  • Take a fishing net and investigate habitats – try pond dipping, or if you go to the beach, rock pooling
  • Help your child to experiment with light by making a simple pinhole camera: all you need is a box and some film or light sensitive paper
  • See what happens when you add water to cornflour and then squeeze it. Is it a liquid or a solid? Get your child to investigate
  • Grow your own crystals together, using sugar or salt, boiling water and a jam jar
  • Get your child to try making their own version of a lava lamp using a plastic bottle, coloured water and oil

The latest news and views on education from oxford university press., practicals: my top 5 science experiments.

Trialling Oxford Smart Activate

By Stacey Wheeler, Senior Science Technician

When students come to us from year 6 they are amazed to be in a real lab; the benches, the high stools, sinks, gas taps, and all the sockets around!

For some the novelty wears off quicker than others. Perhaps they realise that the stools aren’t actually that comfortable. Or, and I can’t believe I’m saying this but it could be down to a lack of interest in science. Whatever the reasons, this is where our science teachers come in. The people who inspire the next generation of scientists. It is our job to engage students and get them interested in something that is all around us. And what is one of the key tools to help us do this? A science practical . And more importantly, getting the practical done correctly so they get the results to prove a theory!

When students come to us we want to bring excitement, let them use the equipment as much as possible, without taking away from the learning.

Rainbow fizz

Those two words say it all really, do I have to explain further? This one throws probably the first colour change students will see right in front of their eyes into the mix. Incorporating steady skills and a challenge of who can produce the best pH range makes for a great experiment. Another bonus is that it’s cheap to do, consisting of only 4 chemicals and a few other pieces of equipment. I know I don’t have to tell you how special a pipette is to precise measurements!

Top 5 science experiments

  • Using the standard hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions we pour around 20ml of acid into a boiling tube
  • Add a spatula of sodium carbonate then a couple of drops of universal indicator.
  • Now comes the precise part, slowly and sparingly, sodium hydroxide is dripped down the side of the boiling tube.

Technique is key, and there are many varying results. But great fun all round.

Rock salt experiment

  • We start by crushing the rock salt with a pestle and mortar, then we mix with water using a measuring cylinder, beaker and stirrer.
  • Next comes filtering using a conical flask, filter paper and funnel to get rid of the sand in the mixture.
  • And finally pouring our solution into an evaporating basin.
  • At this point you can either heat using a Bunsen burner or it can be left to evaporate naturally over a few days.

Top 5 science experiments

This is great experiment to show that not everything dissolves in water and that we can use the process of evaporation to separate substances. This is a very top heavy experiment for equipment but overall is not that messy! We can go into more depth with older students and do a specific weight of the rock salt and find out how much salt is produced at the end.

Wires all over the place! This experiment teaches students the basics of electrical circuits. What can conduct, what doesn’t? Is there a better material? How does your light switch work? What goes into the workings of the school bell (if you still use the old school electrics of course).

Top 5 science experiments

How can you work safely with electric. It is a great experiment and one that is relatively safe. Learning about things like this and being able to see it work right in-front of you is a great thing. Sometimes there is even time to get a solar panel out or design a wind turbine and see the production of power from these. Students really do thrive of being given some independence to lead their practical and find out what does and doesn’t work.

Burning foods

You read that and thought bunsen didn’t you? Surprisingly not on this occasion! When we teach about burning foods, we find that a tea light is a lot safer to use to get the food alight. For this experiment students are given a range of crisps, crackers and poppadums/ prawn crackers.

They light the piece of food and see what temperature the water gets to in their boiling tube from that piece of food. We can make this more complicated by using the same weight of the different food to make it a fair test. We make sure the same amount of water is being used by measuring it with a measuring cylinder. No prizes for guessing the most energy packed food!

Air resistance- parachute demo

Let’s face it, if you get out a parachute and challenge the students to run so far in a certain amount of time, a lot of them will jump at the chance, and if they don’t, you still know that you will have their full attention on what is going on! So we use 2 different sizes of parachute and compare our results as a class. Seeing these things in the now really does help.

These can be equipment and chemical heavy but they prove exactly what we want them to see, understand and learn. What practicals would you add to this list? Which ones do you think bring the necessary awe and wonder? And have any failed spectacularly?

Yr 7 combined imagination and artistic flair with Scientific research last half term.  They selected an individual cell from a plant or animal of their choice and found out about its function and structure.  After three weeks of preparation, they each gave a speech about their cell and revealed a 3-d model of it, indicating all the specialisations.  Even those isolating at home were able to participate and we all enjoyed some creative uses of household recycling (and in one case, scone mixture!).

Several pupils gained Headmaster’s commendations for their project, which was only possible if the model had been created with great attention to detail and the research was detailed and relevant.  This year saw an exceptionally high standard of models ranging from inventive uses of balloons and delicious tasting cakes.  What a tremendous achievement.

I recently tried out your grow beans in a jar experiment with the kids I teach in Kindergarden. I have very fond memories of doing this in School too. The kids absolutely loved it but before we did the experiment I read Jack and the beanstalk and told them we were growing our own magic beanstalk.

Science Experiments For Kids

Making an egg bounce, gravity-defying water, mixing colours, making slime, rainbow skittles.

Science isn’t all about lab coats and goggles. Raid your kitchen cupboards, blow up balloons and make water do some very strange things!  All with our fun science experiments for kids you can do at home.

These cool science experiments don’t need fancy ingredients or equipment, making them great for encouraging STEM learning outside of the classroom. They make science a game! Get ready to roll up your sleeves – which science experiment will you try first?

We all know if you take an egg from its carton and drop it on the floor, it will crack and make a whole lot of mess.

But, prepare to be shocked with this simple experiment showing how to make an egg bounce .

Yep, this fun science experiment for kids can be done easily using things you’ll find in the kitchen cupboards. Check out the below video from parent blogger The Dad Lab for full instructions. You won’t believe the results!!

Gravity is what keeps us all with our feet firmly on the ground, but what if we could trick it and turn it into a science experiment instead?

Great for doing at home, all you’ll need is a wine glass, some water, a sheet of card and a bucket, as we show you how to make gravity-defying water .

Ideal for introducing science-based activities to young children. This simple experiment for mixing colours and water is a simple science experiment designed for preschoolers.

Let your little one choose which colour to use when, ask them to describe the colourful shapes they’ll see dancing in the water and see what happens when you mix more than one colour together.

Ah, slime. It’s the one thing that parents across the UK have been being pestered to make, so why not turn it into a science activity? For our concoction, we mixed shaving foam, PVA glue and a little bit of air freshener (fabric conditioner can work too!).

This creates a slime that you can swirl, stretch and crack, providing hours of fun. Try changing the quantities to see how the mixture changes. Then, ask the kids to explain the differences.

This Rainbow Skittles science experiment can be done in seconds, making it a great way to try science at home even with the most easily distracted toddler sized assistant.

All you’ll need to do is arrange Skittles in a circle on a plate and fill the middle with warm water. Then sit back and watch as the colours drain and mix with the water, creating a cool rainbow pattern in front of your eyes. Plus, any bonus Skittles equal a tasty treat for you!

If all these science experiments for kids have got your mind-boggling, then why not plan a day out to a science centre near you? With loads of hands-on activities to really bring science to life, find your nearest now:

London Science Museum | ThinkTank – Birmingham Science Museum | Aberdeen Science Centre | Glasgow Science Centre | Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester | Life Science Centre (Centre for Life), Newcastle | National Science and Media Museum, Manchester | Techniquest, Cardiff | Museum of Victorian Science, Whitby | Whipple Museum of the History of Science, Cambridge | Museum of the History of Science, Oxford
