This Grade 7 French Ontario science unit resource meets the overall and specific expectations of the Grade 7 Ontario Science Curriculum. Students will learn about heat by evaluating the costs and benefits of heat-producing technologies, studying how heat changes substances, and demonstrating their understanding of heat as a form of energy made up of particles, among other expectations.
 
Many students do not like reading textbooks because their content is often very dry and dull. Most books get straight to the point and lose the interest of students. By purchasing this educational resource, you will notice that this package is written differently. It is informal, filled with jokes, and attempts to teach students on a personal level. Additionally, it encourages them to try conducting their own independent scientific experiments at home based on inquiry. I wanted to write it as if I were conversing with your students. It is a short unit (compared to textbook units), but it is filled with embedded links, QR codes, an online version of all chapter questions, unit tests, and "independent research." It contains everything you need to cover the specific and overall expectations of the Ontario Science Curriculum.
 
You have nothing else to do but print it. However, some scientific experiments may require some preparation. I have included quizzes and chapter work in PDF and Google Forms formats. Use these tasks as consolidation homework or discussion topics in your class! The content of this package is relevant and accurate. It will not hinder their understanding!
