COMMON CORE STATE STANDARD
The science Common Core State Standards are a clear set of shared goals and expectations for the knowledge and skills students need in science in sixth grade so they can be prepared to succeed in college, career, and life.

FRASER Science CURRICULUM
6th grade students use the Battle Creek/Cereal City Science curriculum. There is no text book. Students understand the materials through guided experiments and recording data, observations, and investigation questions in their PDF student journal. Content will be given through our tslearning course.
Below are the units of study for 6th grade science:
Introductory lessons on measurement & scientific method
Energetic Connections (Physical science)
Sixth graders deepen their understanding of energy in its multiple forms through investigations into kinetic and potential energy and begin to understand the scientific reasoning that energy is not created or destroyed. Students explore changes in states of matter that mass is conserved during changes in states.

Planet Rock (Earth science)
This unit explores the rock cycle, weathering and glacier movement and leads to a study of soil and a comparison of soil samples.

Earth: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow (Earth science)
Sixth graders gain an understanding of the Earth’s history and future through the study of plate tectonics and major geological events. They build their knowledge from the previous unit to include tectonic movement, layers of the Earth, the magnetic properties of the Earth, and how rocks, rock layers, and fossils tell the history of the Earth.
Energy in an Ecosystems (Life Science)
Students explore ecosystems with relation to the energy flow in a balanced ecosystem and the roles organisms play to maintain the balance. They investigate patterns of relationships, predict changes in populations, and examine populations, communities and ecosystems to apply their knowledge to the Great Lakes region.
