Part of: [Georgia: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ga-sci.md)

Goal: Georgia academic standards: Science, Grade 7

## 1. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information from multiple sources to explain the theory of evolution of living organisms through inherited characteristics.

- [Fossils as Evidence](https://ai.page/c/fossils-as-evidence/index.md): Analyse and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of organisms and environments that existed long ago
- [How animals adapt to environments](https://ai.page/c/how-animals-adapt-to-environments/index.md): Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time
- [How Natural Selection Works](https://ai.page/c/how-natural-selection-works/index.md): Explain natural selection as the mechanism of evolution: heritable variation + competition for resources + differential survival and reproduction = change in allele frequency over generations

## 2. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to examine the interdependence of organisms with one another and their environments.

- [Ocean Ecosystems](https://ai.page/c/ocean-ecosystems/index.md): Understand ocean ecosystems as interconnected systems where living things (producers, consumers, decomposers) and non-living factors (temperature, salinity, light, currents) all interact, and that changes to one part affect the whole system
- [Food Webs & Interdependence](https://ai.page/c/food-webs-and-interdependence/index.md): Construct and interpret food webs showing the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, explaining how a change in one population affects others

## 3. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain how organisms reproduce either sexually or asexually and transfer genetic information to determine the traits of their offspring

- [Human Reproduction](https://ai.page/c/human-reproduction/index.md): Describe the structure and function of the male and female human reproductive systems, and explain the processes of fertilisation, gestation, and birth including the role of the placenta
- [Variation in Species](https://ai.page/c/variation-in-species/index.md): Explain variation within and between species, distinguishing between continuous variation (e.g. height) and discontinuous variation (e.g. blood group), and between genetic and environmental causes

## 4. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe how cell structures, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems interact to maintain the basic needs of organisms.

- [Cells to Organ Systems](https://ai.page/c/cells-to-organ-systems/index.md): Describe the hierarchical organisation of multicellular organisms: cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organism
- [Cells Under the Microscope](https://ai.page/c/cells-under-the-microscope/index.md): Understand that all living organisms are made of cells and use a light microscope to observe, interpret, and record cell structure
- [Parts of Plant and Animal Cells](https://ai.page/c/parts-of-plant-and-animal-cells/index.md): Describe the functions of the main components of plant and animal cells: cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, vacuole, mitochondria, ribosomes, and chloroplasts

## 5. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate the diversity of living organisms and how they can be compared scientifically.

- [Classifying Organisms](https://ai.page/c/classifying-organisms/index.md): Describe how living things are classified into broad groups (micro-organisms, plants, animals) according to common observable characteristics, similarities, and differences
