Science — Grade 6 · Term 1

The Grade 6 science curriculum — two themes: Systems, discovering that the cell is a system, the body is systems working together, and energy runs through circuits and pathways; then Matter and Energy, following thermal energy as it changes the states of matter and travels by conduction, convection and radiation.
