Grade 6
Science
Scope, Sequence, & Resources
Scientific literacy lies not only in knowing facts and information, but also in understanding the connections that make such information manageable and useful. These connections, referred to as "Unifying Concepts", help students connect the science concepts from grade to grade. ALL of the science TEKS (K-12) can be categorized into 4 Unifying Concepts. The 4 Unifying Concepts are: The Nature of Science, Systems, Properties, Patterns, and Models, and Constancy and Change. The nature of Science is made of skills and processes that must be addressed, maintained, and monitored throughout the year.
