6th Grade General Science Resources

Hands on crosscutting concept of patterns:

Before our study of electromagnetic waves, I use this activity to remind students how to find patterns where there are not obvious repeating patterns. This skills is important across all levels of science.

Students are given three sets of items which they then observe. Through observation, students will classify their data. Once this data is classified with a chart students will evaluate patterns through the data.

A quick full class activity is completed before beginning this group activity. This models for the students the approach to finding and evaluating these patterns.

This activity aligns with Indiana Science Standard MS-PS4-1, CC.1.

What's included:

• Teacher instructions.
• Example worksheet.
• Activity worksheets (three versions).
• Pictures of example.

How is this activity useful:

• Helps introduce or practice a tricky concept.
• Simple set up.
• Hands on, group activity keeps students engaged.
• Students like finding unusual connections.

This set of Force and Motion Reading Comprehension Passages worksheets with Multiple Choice Questions is ideal for students in grades 4, 5, 6, and 7 to learn about force and motion, but grade 8 and 9 students can also use them.

The passages include:

• What is Force?- This passage discusses the different types of forces, how forces affect motion, the distinction between balanced and unbalanced forces, and the methods used to measure force. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts related to force.

• What is Motion? This passage explores the various types of motion, how motion is measured, the factors that influence motion, and Newton’s laws of motion. It also offers examples of motion in everyday life, helping students connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications.

Each passage is followed by 10 multiple-choice questions and context clues graphic organizers that test the student’s understanding of the passage. Answer keys are also included, making it easy for educators to assess comprehension.

This resource can be used as a whole-class activity, a small group discussion, or an independent assignment, providing flexible options for teaching and learning about force and motion.

I was tired of finding science units that didn't suit my needs. I was tired of the babyish clipart, the crossword puzzles, and the foolish waste of space and time. This was the first document I created when I started my store because of my pure insatisfaction. This 113-page document has everything you need to comfortably teach your 6th-graders their entire unit on electricity.

In this document, you'll find two parts:

• a 57-page teachable Slide Deck to project for your students. These slides will guide you and your students towards comfort and understanding when it comes to atoms, conduction, insulators, electrical conductivity, circuits parallèle and série and so, so, so much more.
• a 44-page resource guide with printables, graphic organizers, activities, assessment, answer keys, research tasks and note-taking tasks.

Through games, activities, discussions and vibrant, engaging images, your students will enjoy exploring science with you.

Relax - I've got this one!
