Sixth Grade
Science Power Standards
Physical Science
6.1
Heat moves in a predictable flow from
warmer objects to cooler objects until all the objects are at the same
temperature.
6.2
Many phenomena on Earth’s surface are
affected by the transfer of energy through radiation and convection currents.
Life Science
6.3
Organisms in ecosystems exchange
energy and nutrients among themselves and with the environment.
6.4
Sources of energy and materials
differ in amounts, distribution, usefulness, and the time required for their
formation.
Earth Science
6.5
Plate tectonics accounts for
important features of Earth’s surface and major geologic events.
6.6
Topography is reshaped by the
weathering of rock and soil and by the transportation and deposition of
sediment.
Investigation and Experimentation
6.7
Scientific progress is made by asking
meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for
understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three
strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations.
