RISE Science Grade 7 study plan

State the three parts of cell theory and name the contribution each of the three key scientists made

Label at least 8 cell structures on diagrams of a plant cell and an animal cell and write a one-sentence function for each

Compare plant and animal cells by listing three structures found in only one of the two cell types

Explain how the structure of the cell membrane lets it control which materials enter and leave the cell

Order the levels of organization from cell to organism and give one concrete example of each level in the human body

Describe how the circulatory, respiratory, and muscular systems cooperate during exercise

Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycle matter and energy between plants and animals

Contrast single-celled and multicellular organisms by giving two advantages of each body plan

Classify 10 everyday forces as contact or non-contact and justify each classification

Calculate the net force on an object from diagrams showing two or three forces, including opposite-direction forces

State each of Newton's three laws of motion and match each law to a real-world example

Distinguish mass from weight in terms of units and what each measures

Interpret distance-time graphs to identify constant speed, acceleration, and a stationary object

Predict the direction and type of motion of an object when given its net force

Explain how friction and gravity change an object's motion in two given scenarios

Design a simple experiment that tests friction while identifying the independent, dependent, and controlled variables

Describe Earth's internal layers and relate each layer's properties to plate motion

Summarize three pieces of evidence used to support continental drift

Explain seafloor spreading and how it provides evidence for plate tectonics

Differentiate the three types of plate boundaries and name one landform or event produced at each

Trace the rock cycle and explain how each rock type can transform into the other two

Distinguish weathering, erosion, and deposition and give one landform created by each process

Apply the law of superposition to determine the relative ages of rock layers and embedded fossils

Sequence events in a rock-layer cross-section from oldest to youngest, including folding, faulting, and intrusion

Re-teach the two weakest topics identified on the week 4 and week 6 checks using a one-page summary sheet

Connect Earth-history concepts to fossil evidence of past life and changing environments

Compare structures and functions across cell types, body systems, and organisms in a single comparison chart

Answer 25 mixed-domain questions under a 30-minute timer

Complete two full-length timed practice tests under exam conditions

Categorize every missed question by domain and by error type (content gap, misread, guess)

Re-drill the 15 highest-frequency missed concepts until each is answered correctly twice in a row

Build a final one-page review card of the most commonly confused terms across all three domains
