7.SP.1 Students will conduct surveys to collect data and then see what knowledge they can gain from the collected data about a larger population.
Geometry Everywhere
7.G.3 Students will go on a walk around school and discover what 3-Dimensional shapes are all around and then construct and discover what 2-Dimensional shapes make them up.
Temperature Exploration
