Welcome to 6th grade science! This year we will focus on Earth science. Our main resources will be the Discovery Techbook. Check this website often for updates and links to great websites. I cannot wait for us to learn and have a great year!
We will primarily focus on Earth Science in 6th grade Some of the topics we cover are:
Geology (Earth's history and plate tectonics)
Meteorology (Weather, climate, and severe storms)
Oceanography (Physical and Geographic aspects)
Astronomy (Sun-Earth-Moon system, Planets, Galaxies)
Our curriculum is driven by the Next Generation Science Standards. We will be taking an inquiry based approach where the students are the driving force in their own learning. The Discovery Education Techbook will be our primary resource in science. Some assignments will be posted in Google classroom while the majority will be handouts for their science binder.
