Welcome to Sixth Grade Science!

Students will be exploring science through investigation, discovery, and experimentation. They will learn to think like scientists, talk like scientists, read and write like scientists, and learn to defend their claims by using evidence. 

The 6th grade science curriculum focuses on the following: 

• Lab Safety                     

• Atoms and States of Matter

• Earth's Weather Patterns,

• Physical Properties of Matter

• Electromagnetic Waves

• Seasons and tides

• Moon Phases and Eclipses

• Space Exploration and Sustaining Life

• Energy Transfer and Conservation

• Plate Tectonics and Layers of the Earth

• Soil Composition and Quality

• Survival and structure of plants

• Food Chains and webs

• Biomes

A little about me:

I have been an educator for the past 23 years. I have taught almost every grade level 1st - 6th.  This is my third year teaching middle school and so far sixth grade is by far my favorite. I am originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I moved to North Carolina a few years ago to be closer to family. When I am not at school or lesson planning, I enjoy woodworking, crocheting, and playing with my four-footed fur-baby, Daisy.

I look forward to sharing my love of science with your child and helping to prepare them for their life long journey of learning.

Science RULES!!!!
