  1. WELCOME Sixth Grade 2013-2014 Science Curriculum

  2. Positive Reinforcement • PRIDE Tickets • Students can cash them in for various things. Ex: Hat Day • Student of the Month • 2 students/ month • Meet with Mrs. Corner and receive a prize

  3. Students use scientific processes to: • Question • Plan and conduct investigations • Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather data • Think critically and logically about relationships between evidence and explanations • Communicate results • This will mostly be done through their interactive notebooks

  4. 1st Quarter Lab Safety Posters displayed in hallway Measurement What we are currently working on Plants

  5. Plants • Transpiration • Absorption • Tropism

  6. 2nd Quarter Micro-life Body Systems

  7. Structure and Function in Living Systems • Explain the importance of water to organisms • Describe the basic structure of a cell • Describe the function of cell parts • Differentiate between plant and animal cells

  8. Animals Animals • Respiration – gills, lungs • Digestion – stomach, intestines • Circulation – heart, veins, arteries, capillaries • Locomotion – muscles, skeleton

  9. Animals Cont. • Describe how the nervous system interacts with these systems: • Respiration • Digestion • Circulation • Locomotion • Explain how the human body contracts and fights illnesses and diseases.

  10. Energy & Science and It’s Impact on Society 3rd Quarter Renewable Sunlight, wind, rain, etc. Nonrenewable Fossil fuels Transfer of energy

  11. Physical Science Energy • Renewable and nonrenewable resources • Ways energy can be stored and transformed • How thermal energy can be transferred

  12. Energy Continued • Compare the pros and cons of alternate energy sources and the technology behind them. • Explain why all energy sources should be conserved.

  13. Earth’s Processes and Systems 4th Quarter Describe layers of the atmosphere Structures of lakes, rivers, oceans Water cycle Weather
