This curriculum guide outlines a 10-week science plan for 6th grade students covering Earth and space topics. Over the course of four units, students will learn about forces that affect changes on Earth's surface like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They will study weather patterns in the Philippines and appropriate seasonal activities. Students will demonstrate understanding of day and night and seasonal changes from the Earth's rotation and revolution. The final unit compares the planets of the solar system and requires students to construct models showing their characteristics and relative sizes and distances from the sun.
