6th Grade Science<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013
This week, we\u2019ll be studying, analyzing, and investigating the connections between unicellular and multicellular organisms. We\u2019ll also be examining the parts of cells, functions of cells, the characteristics of living things, and we\u2019ll be learning about the structure and function of body systems. In addition, we\u2019ll be focusing our efforts on preparing for the\u00a0Science Fair<\/strong>, which will take place on\u00a0May 4th, 2020<\/strong>. During this time, students will study the scientific method, examine the parts of a science fair display board, discuss lab reports, practice data organization and graphing, and gather research. All science fair instructions, details, deadlines, and rubrics are available in Google Classroom. Students will have a\u00a0Human Body\/Human Body Systems Quiz<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Friday, March 6th<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 To prepare, students should review their science vocab terms, class activities, and class notes.
