The sixth grade science curriculum is the first book of a three part series that begins in sixth grade.  The text, Science Plus-Technology and Society by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, is designed to be used in the “spiraling” method of teaching.  In this method, key concepts and vocabulary are introduced and then built upon in the following years.  Students will conduct experiments, write lab reports, and work individually and in groups while strengthening their problem solving skills. All areas of science (life, earth, physical) are taught in each of the texts. We do not use the 6^th grade text until the second semester. Topics are covered mainly through class activities and labs.

Note: ***Students will be taking notes and should be studying them at least two or three times a week at home.***

There will be pop quizzes. Tests and homework assignments will be noted in planners ahead of time.
