Seventh Grade Science at TFAA
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! My name is Mr. Shelton, and I’m thrilled to be your 7th grade science teacher at Thurman Francis Arts Academy. I can’t wait to begin this journey with you—it’s truly an honor to be part of your educational experience.
A little about me: I’m married, a proud parent of three, and I love spending time outdoors. I’ve been in education for 26 years, serving as a classroom teacher, science program coordinator with Vanderbilt University, and assistant principal. Most recently, I spent five wonderful years teaching 7th grade science at Stewarts Creek Middle School.
My core belief is that open communication, trust, and mutual respect between students, parents, and teachers are essential for success. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns—I’m always happy to connect and will respond as promptly as possible.
In my classroom, I emphasize positivity and motivation. I believe students thrive when they feel encouraged and valued. To that end, I use daily and weekly incentives like Jolly Ranchers for everyday achievements, popsicles for winning classroom games, and ice cream to celebrate consistent hard work and perseverance. These small rewards build excitement and encourage students to give their best effort.
I’m passionate about science and teaching, and I’m committed to making this year both fun and challenging. You can expect to be engaged in hands-on science practices, encouraged to think critically about the world around you, and inspired to look forward to class each day. I believe in making the most of every moment we have together—after all, there’s no substitute for time on task!
One phrase you’ll hear often in my class is: “If you know the song, you know the science!” Get ready to learn through music, collaborate with classmates, move around, explore strange phenomena, ask deep questions, build models, and dive into all that the 7th grade science curriculum has to offer.
Let’s go, Rams!
Sincerely,
Mr. Shelton

Sharpen the sword, lock in, let's do this!!
Reporting Category Subgroups:
Matter and Interaction
1) Evaluate and communicate information that all substances in the universe are made of many
different types of atoms that combine in various ways.
2) Collect and analyze data about the physical properties of the components of a mixture to use as
evidence that the identities of the components change during a chemical reaction.
3) Develop a model to explain how changes to a system can be explained by changes in
temperature and/or pressure and the effect of those changes on particle motion and/or spatial
arrangement.
4) Use computational thinking to demonstrate that all atoms in the reactants are present in the
products of a chemical reaction supporting the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Types of Energy
1) Plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate that the interaction between substances can
cause chemical reactions that release or store energy.
2) Develop a model to explain how food is utilized through chemical reactions to form new
molecules that support growth, resulting in the release of energy as matter moves through an
organism.
Molecules to Organisms
1) Develop models that identify and explain the structure and function of major cell organelles
and structures (i.e., vacuoles, chloroplasts, lysosomes, mitochondria, cell membrane, cell wall,
nucleus, cytoplasm) as they contribute to the life activities within a system.
2) Obtain information about the cellular structures of unicellular and multicellular organisms
across kingdoms and domains in order to compare how these structures support the functions
(i.e., obtain food, water, waste disposal, and the environment in which they live) of the
organism.
3) Develop and use a hierarchical model of a multicellular organism to explain that the body of
humans and other animals is a system of multiple interacting subsystems specialized for
56 particular body functions [e.g., digestion, respiration, excretion, circulation, sensation (nervous
and integumentary), locomotion (musculoskeletal), reproduction, and immunity].
4) Analyze data to determine the effect of genetic factors (e.g., specific breeds of organisms and
their typical sizes) and environmental factors (e.g., food and space availability) that influence the
growth of plants and animals.
5) Obtain and communicate information to provide evidence that illustrates the causal
relationships between information received by sensory receptors and behavior, both immediate
and over longer time scales.
6) Develop and use a model (e.g., Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations) as evidence to
demonstrate why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information
and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
7) Develop a model using evidence that explains the process of photosynthesis, cellular respiration,
and anaerobic respiration in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.
Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
1) Develop a model to depict the cycling of matter, including carbon and oxygen, and the flow of
energy among biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem.
Heredity
1) Evaluate and communicate information that chromosomes contain many distinct genes which
code for the production of proteins, impacting the traits of an individual.
2) Construct an explanation to describe how the impact of changes to genes (i.e., mutations)
located on chromosomes may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure
and function of the organism.
3) Predict the probability of individual dominant and recessive alleles to be transmitted from each
parent to offspring during sexual reproduction and represent the phenotypic and genotypic
patterns using ratios.
Engineering Design
1) Examine a problem from the medical field (e.g., prosthetic limbs, organ transplants) and design
a solution taking into consideration the criteria, constraints, and relevant scientific principles of
the problem that may limit possible solutions.

Part 5 - You will be watching an instructional video on how to count atoms, coefficients, subscripts, and "is it balanced or not." I really wish I was there doing this with you all but unfortunately I'm not:( Stay with me here, watch this clip very carefully, and I will be back to clear up any misconceptions. YOU CAN DO THIS!!
While you watch the video, sketch the two charts in your science journal and complete them with the narrator. PLEASE DO THIS. I WANT TO SEE THESE IN YOUR JOURNAL ON THURSDAY. THIS IS NOT WASTED TIME.
Video Link: The Rules for Counting Atoms - Part 1
Draw and complete equation chart 1 when you get to it...
Draw and complete equation chart 2 when you get to it...
Pause the video as many times as you need too to complete this part of the lesson today.
Part 6 - Complete the practice sheet I leave you for counting atoms and determining if the chemical equation is balanced or not. If the atoms of the reactants match the atoms of the products, the equation is balanaced...LOCOM is upheld. If the atoms of the reactants do not exactly match the atoms of the products, the equations is NOT balanced and LOCOM is NOT upheld. Make sense??
Part 7 - With any time left over, play the Blooket linked below...thank you so much for your hard work today!! It means alot to me that you would take these two days seriously and not just waste time.
