Mrs. Hamilton Science

Class:  Science

Plan Period:  6th  1:45-2:45

In 6th grade, we learn lab safety and equipment.  We work on reading skills with scientific prefixes and suffixes and reading scientific content.  We learn how to support a claim with evidence.  Our content takes an integrated approach, which includes physical science, earth science, and life science.  We learn scientific processes and thinking.  We learn life skills, such as collaboration within groups, communication, organization.  You won't see a ton of homework, but we are learning through "doing science".  It is sooo amazing what they learn this year! 

Our units are:

    Lab Safety and Lab Equipment

   Thermal energy and Matter

   Light and Sound Waves

   Water Cycle and Climate

   Plate Tectonics and Geologic Time Scale

   Natural Hazards

   Cells and Human Body Systems
