Description

Grade 6 science explores how energy moves: light reflecting, refracting and traveling as electromagnetic waves, and thermal energy moving by conduction, convection and radiation to drive air and ocean currents. Students study air masses, fronts, climate classification and the water cycle, then Earth's layered structure, the rock cycle and the evidence for plate tectonics and Pangaea. They analyze natural hazards — floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes — and investigate cells, organelles, DNA and the two kinds of cell division.
