Course Overview

Science 6 B continues the integrated study of Earth, physical, and life sciences while further developing students' scientific reasoning. Students explore weather and climate, geological processes, forces and motion, and life science systems. Emphasis is placed on connecting scientific principles to real-world applications and engineering solutions.

Key Learning Focus

Students will:

• Investigate weather patterns, climate, and atmospheric processes.
• Explore forces, motion, and simple mechanical systems.
• Examine life science topics such as energy flow and organism interactions.
• Analyze constructive and destructive Earth processes.
• Apply scientific and engineering practices to solve problems.

Instructional Approach

Students engage in hands-on labs, STEM challenges, data-driven investigations, and collaborative inquiry. Visual models and digital tools support the development of scientific literacy.

Outcome

By the end of Science 6 B, students will:

• Demonstrate understanding of Earth systems, physical interactions, and basic life science.
• Apply scientific methodology to investigate and explain natural phenomena.
• Collaborate effectively to design and test solutions to science-based problems.
• Be prepared for the expanded scientific content in Science 7 A.
