6th Grade Science
I am very excited to study a wide range of science topics with you this year! Topics will range from Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, to Technology and Engineering. We will work together to look at topics both scientifically and creatively.
The year will be broken down into 5 units: Earth’s Place in the Universe, Matter and Its Interactions, Earth’s Systems and Biological Evolution, From Molecules to Organisms, and Waves

6th Technology and Engineering Encore
This semester students will be using the Engineering Design Process to study various components of a city. Components include, but are not limited to, transportation, communication technologies, and structural systems including materials used with different types of structures. Students will then construct their own model cities using their acquired knowledge.
