Primary 6 Science
This course investigates the complex relationships between living things and their environment while exploring the fundamental laws of energy. Students engage in scientific inquiry to understand how forces and energy transformations drive physical and biological systems.
Energy Forms and Transformations
Students explore how energy is stored and converted from one form to another to power the world around us.
Understanding how position and motion determine the energy state of an object.
Traced paths of energy as it changes form within everyday appliances and natural processes.
Forces in Action
An investigation into the invisible pushes and pulls that govern the movement and behavior of objects.
Examining how surfaces interact and how materials return to their original shapes.
Exploring non-contact forces that act over a distance to pull objects together.
The Web of Life
Studying the intricate relationships between producers, consumers, and decomposers within various habitats.
Mapping the flow of energy from the sun through different levels of a community.
Analyzing structural and behavioral traits that allow organisms to thrive in specific environments.
Evaluating how human activities like deforestation and pollution alter natural balances.
Cycles in the Environment
A look at the repeating patterns in nature, focusing on the movement of water and the continuity of life.
Understanding the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation on a global scale.
Comparing the developmental stages of various organisms to identify common patterns of growth.
Electrical Systems
Investigating the flow of electricity through circuits and the factors that affect electrical output.
Identifying the roles of batteries, bulbs, switches, and wires in a functional circuit.
Comparing how different configurations of components affect the brightness of bulbs and battery life.
Interactions within Habitats
Examining the physical and chemical factors that define a habitat and how organisms interact within them.
Measuring how light, temperature, and moisture levels dictate which organisms can survive in an area.
Studying the social and competitive interactions between different groups of organisms.
