Welcome to 6th Grade Science!

Thanks so much for visiting my website.  It's hard to believe that the first quarter has officially come to a close already.  The students seemed to have adjusted well throughout the semester.  In science, routines have been established and expectations clearly outlined.  The students are learning the importance of consistent effort, both during class and in preparing for assessments. 

One area of focus over the first quarter was on the Metric System.  The students worked on converting units of measure, measuring the mass of objects, determining the area of objects, finding the volume of regular and irregular shaped objects, and calculating the density of objects. They learned the importance of properly labeling the units for their measurements.

We also began our unit on Matter & Energy.  The students have gained an understanding of matter, including properties that help us in understanding the various states of it.  

We will be taking a closer look at atoms and the structure of them.  The students are anxious to create a model of one, as a follow-up project to the unit.  More info. to come...

Remember that all homework is posted on our team (white) site to assist you in remembering what the assignments are each night.

As always, please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions, concerns, or comments.  The best way to reach me is through my e-mail at  tlwiedrich@bataviacsd.org.

     Thank you for your support in your child's education.
