6.PS.1

In this unit, students are introduced to science and engineering by exploring several phenomena that relate to cooking. Students begin with an investigation into the structure of matter and how energy determines state of matter. This page is a high level look at key components of this lesson. 

In this unit, students encounter phenomena related to matter and energy as they learn about how engineers design materials with specific properties to address a wide range of societal needs.This page provides an overview of one lesson. 

In this unit, students build on their knowledge of energy by exploring the relationship between energy and matter. They begin by modeling the structure of atoms and how atoms come together to form all of the matter in the universe. This page showcases each section of this lesson.

In this unit, students analyze the science phenomena patterns in the Earth-Moon-Sun system that result from orbital motion, which is caused by gravity and inertia. This page is a high-level extract of the first lesson in this unit. 

In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of matter, energy, and heat transfer to explore weather and climate. In this lesson they investigate how the sun powers the global water cycle, which in turn has very local impacts that affect regional climates around the world. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.

In this unit, students investigate the relationship between gravity, motion, and energy. Students begin by questioning how the amount of potential energy stored in an energy system changes when objects are different heights above the ground.
