Grade 6 Science Wayland Middle School Program of Studies Grade 6 Science Science 6 is a rich and lively program, which focuses on basic physics and the study of matter.
Energy is the connecting theme.
Starting with the high energy of students themselves and their acute interest in the world around them, students examine, take apart and build real-world items such as batteries, bulbs, and flashlights. They experience hair-raising activities in statics and also race sound. Our young scientists study the mechanical advantage of pulleys while hoisting a classmate to the rafters in the classroom. Basic lab procedures, equipment and safety are learned while conducting chemistry experiments. The program focuses on energy transformations involving electricity, magnetism, sound, light, heat and mechanical energy.
