COURSE DESCRIPTION
The grade 6 science and technology course builds on the topics explored in grade 5 science and technology.
1 – Life Systems
2 – Matter and Energy
3 – Structures and Mechanisms
4 – Earth and Space Systems
The concept of biodiversity is a key focus as students examine different forms of life on Earth from animals, to plants, and to microorganisms, and investigate their importance to humans, society, and to the environment. Students learn about electrical phenomena, the principles of electrical energy, and its transformation into and from other forms of energy. Students learn how the properties of air are applied in flight, and how the four forces of flight make flight possible. Students are introduced to our solar system, learning about the Sun, and the planets, comets, and asteroids that orbit around it. They examine technologies used in space exploration, and how these technologies contribute to everyday life, such as satellites, global positioning systems (GPS), and cell phone cameras.
