Sixth Grade Life Science
Science is a way of knowing, a process for gaining knowledge and understanding of the natural world. The science curriculum for Tremont Middle School sixth grade places emphasis on understanding and using skills. Students should be active learners. It is not enough for students to read about science; they must do science. They should observe, inquire, question, formulate and test hypotheses, analyze data, report, and evaluate findings. The students, as scientists, will have hands-on, active experiences throughout the instruction of the science curriculum.
