This year in 6th grade science, we will be following textbooks published by It's About Time. The series is called Project Based Inquiry Science. This series invites students to consider a 'real-life' question, then solve it by asking questions and investigating situations that will lead to the solution. One of the exciting parts of the books is that the problems can be solved in many ways—the student-scientists can truly invent their own unique solution.
More information about PBIS can be found here:
We will be using the books Moving Big Things and Living Things, but may add others as the year progresses.
Another unit we will study is Weather. For that unit, we will refer to the book Investigating Climate and Weather, also by It's About Time. The web address for this book is here:
Please feel free to investigate these yourself, and ask me any questions you may have.
