7th Grade Science

What is 7th Grade Science All about?

In Arizona 7th Grade Science focuses on topics in Life, Physical and Earth Science. Our Topics include Cell Parts/ Body systems and how they keep you alive, Forces, Plate Tectonics, Weather and Space. We will also focus on developing the same skills and habits scientist use to observe our world, answer questions and address the challenges we face in the 21st Century.

In 6th Grade, we will focus on Matter and Energy. Later in the year we will look at both Ecology and Astronomy.

About Our Classroom

Meet Mr. Weaver

Matt Weaver

My name is Matt Weaver. I am GP's 7th Grade Science Teacher.

I believe that the key developing our nation and our society is to teach children to think. To that end I try to come up with engaging activities to stimulate the student’s minds.

Outside of school of enjoy games, hiking, storytelling, history, reading, miniature painting, spending time with my family and friends and I am trying to get back into archery. I am noted for my way with words and my amazing ability to create puns.

Likes and Favorites:

Movies: Avengers and most of the MCU, Fury Road, Miller’s Crossing Most Sci-Fi and (some) war movies.

TV Shows: I am working my way through Stranger Things and the Umbrella Academy.

Games: Savage Skirmish, Fields of Honor, Iron Dragon, Star Realms, Elder Sign and many-Many others.

Little Know Fact: I was a cartoon stunt double in the mid-1980’s. I was totally in no way responsible for the 1637 Dutch Tulip Market Crash which happened completely on it's own and with no help from me, whatsoever. It was a completely natural thing that I totally did not orchestrate. Also, I like the restaurant Pollo Loco and eat there often.
