Unit 3 
Growth and Development

    Lastly, Growth and Development is a unit for all Seventh graders.  The middle school years are a time of many changes, physically, mentally, and socially.  The goal of this unit is for students to become more aware of these changes, be comfortable with them and to realize they are normal.  A focus of the unit is relationships and students compare healthy and unhealthy relationships.

Students will learn the function of the Reproductive Body Systems and identify similarities and differences between males and females.  The anatomy of both systems is compared and in groups of two, students label diagrams.
