Mrs. Hamilton 6th Grade Science

Class overview

In 6th grade, we learn lab safety and equipment. We work on reading skills with scientific prefixes and suffixes and reading scientific content. We learn how to support a claim with evidence. Our content takes an integrated approach, which includes physical science, earth science, and life science. We learn scientific processes and thinking. We learn life skills, such as collaboration within groups, communication, and organization. You won't see a ton of homework, but we are learning through "doing science". It is sooo amazing what they learn this year!
