This document provides a curriculum map and pacing guide for 6th grade science for the 2011-2012 school year. It outlines the key performance objectives, student outcomes, resources, and assessments for each quarter. The first quarter focuses on energy, including identifying different ways energy can be stored, generated, and transformed. Students will learn about mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy and how energy can be transferred through conduction, convection, and radiation. They will also be introduced to the scientific process, with objectives related to asking questions, developing hypotheses, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and communicating results. Assessments include quizzes, common assessments, labs, and benchmarks.
