Overview
Sixth grade science builds on many of the concepts introduced in 5th grade. We'll explore heat transfer and its role in global wind and oceanic patterns and how this creates regional climates. Other topics we will be diving into include the carbon cycle and the greenhouse effect, climate change, kinetic and potential energy, and thermodynamics and heat transfer. We'll also be spending some time learning about cell theory and function, animal adaptations, plant reproduction and growth, the brain and nervous system. Students will work in a collaborative classroom environment as they share ideas during labs, discussions, and other activities, and engage in project-based learning. Sixth graders attend a week-long environmental education camp at Caritas Creek in April and will be participating in science immersion week and the science fair in November. -

Science Homework Policy
Homework is assigned to support and advance classroom learning. Students are expected to complete all assignments on time. If an assignment is more than three days late, the assignment will not be accepted, unless prior arrangements have been made, and no credit will be given for the assignment.
If a student is sick or needs to be away from school for exceptional circumstances (ie: family emergency, extended travel, illness), they will have one day per missed school day to turn in assignments. It is the student's responsibility to find out what they missed on the day(s) they were absent.
