Grade 7 Science & STEM is a practical, visually engaging science program designed to make secondary science feel approachable, interesting and hands-on for homeschool families. It combines Physics and Chemistry from Tiny Science Lab with a Happy Days Homeschooling Completion Pack, creating a broad course that covers the major Grade 7 science strands while building real scientific thinking and inquiry skills.

Students explore energy, forces, motion, mass, particle theory, mixtures and separation techniques, alongside living things and classification, ecosystems and food webs, Earth–Sun–Moon relationships, seasons, eclipses, tides, and science in the real world. The course also develops skills in planning investigations, making predictions, identifying variables, collecting and representing data, analysing results, evaluating evidence and communicating scientific ideas.

The Tiny Science Lab sections include accompanying teaching videos and practical experiments, allowing students to see scientific concepts demonstrated while working through the matching activity pages. The Happy Days Homeschooling section continues the learning through research tasks, modelling, food-web and classification activities, evidence-based challenges and real-world science investigations. An additional STEM appendix includes hands-on projects such as a solar oven, water filter, balloon rocket, egg-drop challenge, weather station, mini greenhouse, bug hotel, wind-powered vehicle, water wheel and more.

The course can be completed at a flexible pace, allowing families to work through the lessons in order or adjust the workload to suit their homeschool rhythm.
