6th Grade

Science

The 6th Grade science program aims to ignite students’ curiosity and to cultivate their passion for discovery. 

Interactive class activities are designed to provide a foundation on which scientific concepts stick. The curriculum incorporates aspects of life science, physical science, earth science, and engineering. Students will develop their skills of investigation, analysis, and explanation through a variety of hands-on lab experiences, simulations, games, debates, and projects. Instead of working with a single textbook, each unit of study is crafted from a variety of resources including texts, magazine articles, and web resources.

Throughlines:

  • How does creativity power science?
  • How do I think and behave like a scientist?
