The theme for Grade 6 is Climate: Scientific Principles and Communication.
Students study the Earth’s climate and solutions to climate change using life science, physical science, earth science, and engineering design. Students will strengthen their science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and apply specific disciplinary core ideas to help them develop their own solutions to a variety of environmental problems.
The culminating experience in each unit is designed to help frame student learning around a particular goal with a focus on using different techniques to communicate the science outcomes. By offering students the opportunity to solve real-world problems that are relevant to them and their community, the curriculum aims to inspire students’ interest in developing their science and engineering skills.
Unit 1 - Energy and Climate
Unit 2 - Home Energy
Unit 3 - Weather and Climate
Unit 4 - Protecting Plants and Animals
Unit 5 - Reducing Pollution and Waste
