Interactive Science: Physical Science Grade 6

Description

Interactive Science is a flexible program that allows you to work at your child’s pace and incorporate all the curriculum’s more hands-on offerings.

Keep your child’s interest in science going strong! Interactive Science makes learning science personal and engaging.

Put your child in the driver’s seat of his or her Science education by using the Interactive Science curriculum for homeschooling. Designed to keep your child invested and interested in the subject, this program offers lessons that are dynamic and hands-on. Rather than simply reading about Science, you and your child will participate in labs and activities that enhance his or her learning experience.

Interactive Science: Grade 6 is a more challenging curriculum than the other Grade levels, as your child has, by now, a strong foundational knowledge of Science Engineering and Technology, Life Science, Earth Science and Physical Science. These four Science topics are included in all Interactive Science programs. In fact, Interactive Science is broken down into units that mirrors the four key areas of Science education.

Once you’ve completed Grade 6, your child will be ready to move onto in-depth content geared toward students in the middle grades. The transition from Grade 5 to 6 was seamless, and the move to middle-grade curriculum will be the same. By the time you complete Interactive Science: Grade 6, your child should be able to:

• Use the Scientific Method to design and conduct an experiment that answers a problem.
• Use scientific notation to format numbers.
• Understand the different between quantitative and qualitative observations.
• Collect data using the appropriate technology, tools and units of measurement.
• Identify elements and create atomic models using the Periodic Table of the Elements.
• Locate and identify major functions and parts of the human skeletal and muscular systems.
• Explain the relationship between plate tectonics and Earth’s geographic features, such as mountains.
• Restate the water cycle.

You will help your child achieve these and other goals by using the materials in Interactive Science: Grade 6 to develop lesson plans.
