Science is the study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and discovery. In Grade 6, students explore life science, earth science, and physical science while learning how to think like scientists. Through inquiry learning, they ask meaningful questions, design investigations, and analyze data to draw conclusions. Instead of memorizing facts alone, they test ideas, compare results, and reflect on real-world applications. By developing curiosity and problem-solving skills, Science becomes more than a subject, it becomes a way to understand and improve the world around us.
