6th Grade Life Science
Within a context of scientific inquiry, students will investigate and explore cell processes and cellular replication, as well as the inner workings of the cell. They will learn the history of Genetics, inherited traits, and about some common genetic disorders. The organ systems of the human body will also be discussed. By focusing on these particular topics, I hope to lay a strong foundation which will aid the students in their future Biological Science courses.

3-D Animal Cell Project
Egg-Speriment...Students will predict what will happen to their egg over the course of 7 days. Each egg will be placed in a different type of liquid environment and the students will monitor the size (in mm) and record appearance observations in separate data tables. A Google Classroom document will be maintained by the students with their data. After 7 days, final measurement and appearance observations will be collected, and each group will look back at their prediction and tell whether their prediction was True or False, why or why not, using the data that was collected during the Egg-Speriment.
Products of Respiration...Massing materials using Triple Beam Balances, combining raw materials (yeast +sugar + warm water and sugar + water), and allowing the system to run in order to make products (carbon dioxide gas and water)
Working with Compound Light Microscopes
Raisin' the Raisin Question...Raisins are a good source of the mineral iron. Which raisin bran cereal contains the most raisins?
