Time4Learning presents a logical and sequential approach to teaching science and social studies.
Sixth grade students are immersed in the scientific process. Sixth graders learn about the properties of matter, characteristics of plants, energy, force and motion, and electricity and magnetism. These units will cover such subjects as collecting and displaying data, different states of matter, stimulus and response in plants, six forms of energy, electricity from magnetism, and phases of the moon. See the sixth grade science curriculum for more information.
In social studies, sixth grade students continue the study of ancient civilizations, this time covering India, China, Rome and Islam in history. In geography, Africa and westward migration in the US are studied. Students will also begin state studies of their own states. Individual lessons cover such things as contributions of India, the Han dynasty, Origins of Christianity, the Arabian Peninsula, West African civilization, Settler and Native American wars, Growth of American Cities, The Spanish-American War, and Presidential Elections. See the sixth grade social studies curriculum for more information.
There are 73 lessons in the Time4Learning sixth grade science curriculum, and 110 in the social studies curriculum. The Time4Learning program combines illustration, animation, real pictures, audio, text, video and embedded simulations in multimedia online lessons and activities. It also combines math and writing skills in cross-curricular activities that are completed both on and offline.
