Welcome Sixth Graders
Get ready for some science!
Welcome to your online Science Education portal. Please select one of the courses below!
Kinetic Theory
6.P1U1.1
In this unit, Sixth Graders will explore how changes in states of matter are caused by different rates of movement of atoms in solids, liquids, and gases.
Temperature & Pressure Changes
6.P1U1.2
In this unit, Sixth Graders will plan and carry out investigations to demonstrate that variations in temperature and/or pressure affect changes in state of matter.
Atoms & Molecules
6.P1U1.3
In this unit, Sixth Graders will use models to represent that matter is made up of smaller particles called atoms.
Forces & Distance
6.P2U1.4
In this unit, Sixth Graders will develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance.
Potential & Kinetic Energy
6.P4U2.5
In this unit, Sixth Graders will analyze how humans use technology to store (potential) and/or use (kinetic) energy.
Greenhouse Effect
6.E1U1.6
In this unit, Sixth Graders will investigate how radiation from the Sun provides energy and is absorbed to warm the Earth’s surface and atmosphere.
Our Solar System
6.E2U1.7
In this unit, Sixth Graders will use ratios and proportions to analyze and interpret data related to scale, properties, and relationships among objects in our solar system.
Constellations
6.E2U1.8
In this unit, Sixth Graders will use models to explain how constellations and other night sky patterns appear to move due to Earth’s rotation and revolution.
The Moon & Tides
6.E2U1.9
In this unit, Sixth Graders will use models to construct an explanation of how eclipses, moon phases, and tides occur within the Sun-Earth-Moon system.
Causes of Seasons
6.E2U1.10
In this unit, Sixth Graders will use a model to show how the tilt of Earth’s axis causes variations in the length of the day and gives rise to seasons.
Human Impact
6.L2U3.11
In this unit, Sixth Graders will investigate the impact of human activities on the environment and how they positively and negatively affect the competition for energy and resources in ecosystems.
Species Changes
6.L2U3.12
In this unit, Sixth Graders will engage in argument from evidence to support a claim about the factors that cause species to change and how humans can impact those factors.
Biotic & Abiotic Factors
6.L2U1.13
In this unit, Sixth Graders will use models to demonstrate the interdependence of organisms and their environment including biotic and abiotic factors.
Cycling of Matter
6.L2U1.14
In this unit, Sixth Graders will construct a model that shows the cycling of matter and flow of energy in ecosystems.
