6th Grade
|
Course Purpose: |
Sixth grade students will use earth/space science, life science, and physical science principles to identify and describe interactions between them. |
|
Outcome # |
Outcome |
| SC.6.1 | Students will develop models of simple atoms and their extended structures and model how energy and matter changes phases. |
| SC.6.2 | Students will investigate and analyze the properties of substances to identify and differentiate between pure substances and mixtures. |
| SC.6.3 | Students will characterize various types of cells and illustrate the anatomy of basic parts of the cell. Students will collect evidence to develop and support a claim for Cell Theory. |
| SC.6.4 | Students will develop a model for Earth’s surface processes with the sun and gravity being the driving force through Earth’s system. |
| SC.6.5 | Students will investigate and develop a model for how wind and air mass interactions result in changes in weather. |
| SC.6.6 | Students will design a model to verify the relationship among weather, climate and oceanic currents |
| SC.6.7 | Students will model how energy moves through an organism and its ecosystem and design a food web for an ecosystem in order to describe its relationships to biotic and abiotic factors and the impacts on the environment. |
