6th Grade science is a general science course that will incorporate the earth, physical, and life sciences. Students will study living systems and their interactions, matter, energy, earth's systems, and astronomy. In addition, students will plan and conduct field laboratory investigations using scientific methods, critical-thinking skills, analytical skills, science problem solving skills, and modern technology. The subject matter will be covered at a regular pace with homework held to a minimum. Throughout the year, students will gain general knowledge that will serve as a foundation to future science courses taken during middle school and high school.
