Program Overview

The Interactive Science Activities workbooks are designed for the home environment, and modified from the lengthy lab manuals used in schools. They are custom designed at-home activities for students and parents to use on their own or with the Interactive Science grade-level bundles.

The Pearson at Home Interactive Science Activities workbooks provide children with a student-centered approach to scientific discovery. Each hands-on activity presents a child with a challenging question that can be investigated and explored independently or with parent guidance. As part of the directed inquiry process, the child will answer this question by exploring the resources, following the outlined procedures of each activity, collecting data, and drawing conclusions. In some instances, parents might need to help children with certain parts of the activity. Following the directed inquiry, the child will be given an opportunity to expand and demonstrate scientific reasoning by modifying the investigation and designing his or her own experiments to illustrate the concept. Utilizing these activities will encourage every child to think like a scientist and encourage him or her to be inquisitive.

This curriculum has been modified specifically for homeschool families. At times, there may be references to print or digital components that are not included within the homeschool bundle. This will not hinder your child's successful completion of the course.

Product Description

Put your child in the driver's seat of his or her Science education by using the Interactive Science curriculum for homeschooling. Designed to keep your child invested and interested in the subject, this program offers lessons that are dynamic and hands-on. Rather than simply reading about Science, you and your child will participate in labs and activities that enhance his or her learning experience. Interactive Science: Grade 6 is a more challenging curriculum than the other Grade levels, as your child has, by now, a strong foundational knowledge of Science Engineering and Technology, Life Science, Earth Science and Physical Science. These four Science topics are included in all Interactive Science programs. In fact, Interactive Science is broken down into units that mirrors the four key areas of Science education. Once you've completed Grade 6, your child will be ready to move onto in-depth content geared toward students in the middle grades. The transition from Grade 5 to 6 was seamless, and the move to middle-grade curriculum will be the same. By the time you complete Interactive Science: Grade 6, your child should be able to: Use the Scientific Method to design and conduct an experiment that answers a problem. Use scientific notation to format numbers. Understand the different between quantitative and qualitative observations. Collect data using the appropriate technology, tools and units of measurement. Identify elements and create atomic models using the Periodic Table of the Elements. Locate and identify major functions and parts of the human skeletal and muscular systems. Explain the relationship between plate tectonics and Earth's geographic features, such as mountains. Restate the water cycle. You will help your child achieve these and other goals by using the materials in Interactive Science: Grade 6 to develop lesson plans.
