Pacing Guide - Science

Subject Overview:
The Grade 6 IELP Integrated Science course begins with the students learning proper graph making and table making.
Students will practice these skills during the respiratory system, circulatory system and the muscle fatigue investigation. Students will
learn how to identify trends and use data and science to support trends. Throughout the unit we will explore how human body systems
work together, how we can use measurement to describe the performance of systems?
