Required Prerequisite(s): Science 5

What's Next: Science 7 or Science 7 Honors

Science 6 is an integrated course consisting of four major units of study – Matter & Energy; Force, Motion, & Energy; Earth & Space; Organisms & Environments – taught through the context of recurring scientific themes and concepts. Topics of focus include properties of matter; the nature of forces; conservation of energy; movements of the Sun, Earth, and moon;structure of the Earth; resource management; cells; organism variations; and interdependence in living systems. Students will design and conduct field and laboratory investigations, including asking questions and identifying problems, gathering and analyzing data, developing and communicating conclusions, and making informed decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving.
