We have 6 science units covered throughout the year.
| Unit Name | Topics | Estimated Start Date |
|---|---|---|
| Science & Engineering | Analyze the relationship of science and engineering to society and the way humans use the engineering design process to find solutions to address the problems and needs of society. | August |
| Systems in Organisms and Earth | Analyze natural systems, especially systems in organisms at different scales. Model cells and larger structures in plants and animals. Relate the structure of different living systems to their functions. Study how plant and animal systems enable these organisms to interact with their | |
| surroundings. | Early October | |
| The Flow of Energy in Systems | Investigate systems in terms of energy, energy transformations, and the transfer of energy within and between systems. You will return to Earth systems at the end of Unit 3 and use your understanding of energy to | |
| model how the flow of energy and the force of gravity drive the water cycle. | Mid November | |
| Weather & Climate | Use understanding of the water cycle from Unit 3 to analyze the flow of matter and energy in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Analyze the causes of weather on Earth and describe the causes of weather patterns in California. Use mathematical models to make predictions and relate those models to weather models that use patterns to forecast weather. | Early January |
| Environmental and Genetic Influence on Organisms | Compare climate patterns to characteristics of life on Earth and to analyze how organisms are adapted to their environment. Investigate the influence of genetic factors on an organism’s traits and model the ways genetic variation can be influenced by environmental factors. At the end of Unit 5, you will investigate how the environment and genetics affect plant and animal survival. | Late February |
| Human Impacts on the Environment | Analyze how human activities cause changes in the environment and in Earth’s climate and how those changes affect the survival of organisms. At the end of Grade 6, you will describe methods for monitoring human impacts on the environment and develop ways to reduce negative impacts of human activity on Earth systems. | Early April |
