Science 6, Part 2 of 2

This full-year course for sixth grade students builds on basic principles of scientific inquiry and translates those skills to more complex, overarching themes. The course includes units that help students understand the definitions, forms, and classifications of living organisms and learn to analyze the diversity of each unique group of living organisms. Other units introduce students to matter, energy, temperature, motion, and force. The larger themes throughout the course are applied to real-world topics, such as human biology and health, as students complete hands on projects and laboratory experiments that include both a virtual lab and a wet lab option.
