Students perform experiments to develop skills of observation and analysis, and learn how scientists understand the world. They demonstrate how pulleys lift heavy objects, make a temporary magnet and test its strength, and analyze the parts of a flower.
The Earth science curriculum builds on the natural curiosity of students. By connecting them to the beauty of geological
history, the amazing landforms around the globe, the nature of the sea and air, and the newest discoveries about our
universe, the curriculum gives students an opportunity to relate to their everyday world. Students will explore
topics such as the fundamentals of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy; Earth’s minerals and rocks;
Earth’s interior; plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the movements of continents; geology and the fossil record;
the oceans and the atmosphere; and the solar system and the universe.

In the Math 6 course, students deepen their understanding of multiplication and division of fractions to apply their knowledge to divide fractions by fractions, with an additional focus on increasing efficiency and fluency. Students gain a foundation in the concepts of ratio and rate as an extension of their work with whole number multiplication and division, and in preparation for work with proportional relationships in Math 7. Students also make connections among area, volume, and surface area, and continue to lay the groundwork for deep algebraic understanding by interpreting and using expressions and equations. This is the second semester of a two semester course.
