Welcome to 6th grade Social Studies!
Sixth grade is the first year of a two year World Area Studies course. Sixth grade students study Latin America, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The goal of this two year course is to acquaint middle school students with the world in which they live. The geography domain includes both physical and human geography. The intent of the geography domain is for students to begin to grasp the importance geography plays in their everyday lives. The government/civics domain focuses on selected types of government found in the various areas so as to help students begin to understand the variety of governments in the world. The economics domain builds on the K-5 economics; however, the focus shifts from the United States to how other countries answer the basic questions of economics. The history domain focuses on major events in each region during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. |
Welcome to 6th grade Science
6th grade Earth Science encompasses four main topics: astronomy, geology, hydrology, and meteorology. Students will look at the relationship between these areas of science, Earth, and human beings. Students will participate in class discussions, individual and group projects, and hands-on-activities/labs. Students will keep a notebook including classwork, labs activities, tests, quizzes and vocabulary. It is important to review notes daily and vocabulary to prepare for assessments. |
