Welcome to Mrs. Ross' Page!
Science
First Nine Weeks:
We will be reviewing essential lab/safety procedures as well as setting up our interactive notebooks.
We will also be reviewing the scientific method and identifying the steps in experiments, as well as reviewing the metric system by partaking in a two day "Gummy Bear Lab".
After reviewing, the rest of the 1st 9 weeks we will be spent covering the following standards:
7.E.1.1 Understand how the cycling of matter (water and gases) in and out of the atmosphere relates to Earth’s atmosphere, weather and climate and the effects of the atmosphere on humans.
7.E.1.2 Explain how the cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere and atmospheric conditions relate to the weather patterns on earth.
7.E.1.3 Explain the relationship between the movement of air masses, high and low pressure systems, and frontal boundaries to storms (including thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes) and other weather conditions that may result
7.E.1.4 Cloud shapes and types and associated elevation
7.E.1.5 Explain the influence of convection, global winds and the jet stream on weather and climatic conditions.
7.E.1.6 Conclude that the good health of humans requires: monitoring the atmosphere, maintaining air quality, and stewardship.
Second Nine Weeks
We will be learning about the following standards during the second nine weeks.
Cell Theory
7.L.1 Understand the process, structures and functions of living organisms that enable them to survive, reproduce and carry out the basic functions of life.
Cell Structure
7.L.1.2 Compare the structures and functions of plant and animal cells, including major organelles (cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles).
Structures/Funcstions of Living Organisms: Single Celled Animals
7.L.1.1 Compare the structures and life functions of single-celled organisms that carry out all of the basic functions of life including: Euglena. Amoeba. Paramecium. Volvox.
Body Systems
7.L.1.3 Summarize the hierarchical organization of multicellular organisms from cells to tissues to organs to systems to organisms. 7.L.1.4 Understand the process, structures and functions of living organisms that enable them to survive, reproduce and carry out the basic functions of life.

About Me
Hi, my name is Katie Ross! I received my bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I am certified to teach K-6 and Middle Grades math, science, and social studies. I am also on my way to becoming Google Certified. I have been teaching for 2 years, in which I have found that teaching middle school is the best!
I spend most of time with my husband and family, including my two beautiful chihuahuas. We love watching sports including the Carolina Panthers (Keep Pounding!) and the Duke Blue Devils.
If there is anything I can do to help your child/student, please do not hesitate to contact me!
