In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/az-sci-grade-6 Part of: [Arizona: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/az-sci.md) Goal: Arizona academic standards: Science, Grade 6 ## 1. History · The development of civilizations, societies, cultures, and innovations have influenced history and continue to impact the modern world. - [Life Changed Over Time](https://ai.page/c/life-changed-over-time/index.md): Recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about organisms that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago ## 2. Geography · Global interconnections and spatial patterns are a necessary part of geographic reasoning. - [Finding patterns in data](https://ai.page/c/finding-patterns-in-data/index.md): Analyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods ## 3. Geography · Human-environment interactions are essential aspects of human life in all societies. - [Earth's atmosphere](https://ai.page/c/earth-s-atmosphere/index.md): Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems ## 4. Geography · The use of geographic representations and tools helps individuals understand their world. - [Reading Weather Maps](https://ai.page/c/reading-weather-maps/index.md): Read and interpret weather maps, data tables, and graphs — identifying symbols for sun, rain, wind, and temperature; spotting trends and patterns in weather data over weeks, months, or seasons; and using data to make simple predictions ## 5. Disciplinary Skills and Processes · Historians and Social Scientists gather, interpret, and use evidence to develop claims and answer historical, economic, geographical, and political questions and co - [Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 9+)](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence-age-9/index.md): Report and present findings including conclusions, causal relationships, explanations, and a degree of trust in results using oral and written forms - [Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 12+)](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence-age-12/index.md): Identify patterns and trends in data, draw conclusions that directly address the hypothesis with quantitative reference to evidence, and evaluate the investigation by distinguishing between systematic and random errors and proposing targeted improvements ## 6. Life Sciences - [Matter Cycling in Ecosystems](https://ai.page/c/matter-cycling-in-ecosystems/index.md): Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment in an ecosystem - [Food Webs & Interdependence](https://ai.page/c/food-webs-and-interdependence/index.md): Construct and interpret food webs showing the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, explaining how a change in one population affects others - [Evidence-Based Classification](https://ai.page/c/evidence-based-classification/index.md): Give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics, using evidence to justify classification decisions - [Communities Protecting Resources](https://ai.page/c/communities-protecting-resources/index.md): Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment ## 7. Earth and Space Sciences - [Earth's rotation and day/night](https://ai.page/c/earth-s-rotation-and-day-night/index.md): Use the idea of the Earth's rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky - [Why We Have Seasons](https://ai.page/c/why-we-have-seasons/index.md): Explain that the seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis during its orbit around the Sun, distinguishing this from the common misconception that seasons are caused by changing distance from the Sun - [Phases of the Moon](https://ai.page/c/phases-of-the-moon/index.md): Explain the phases of the Moon as the changing angle of sunlight on the lunar surface as seen from Earth, and describe how solar and lunar eclipses occur - [Scale of the Solar System](https://ai.page/c/scale-of-the-solar-system/index.md): Use scale models, diagrams, or calculations to represent the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system, understanding that the distances between planets are enormously larger than the planets themselves - [Energy from Food & the Sun](https://ai.page/c/energy-from-food-and-the-sun/index.md): Use models to describe that energy in animals' food was once energy from the sun, transferred through plants or other organisms ## 8. Physical Sciences - [Energy stores and transfers](https://ai.page/c/energy-stores-and-transfers/index.md): Identify the main energy stores (kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential, thermal, chemical, nuclear, electromagnetic) and the pathways by which energy is transferred between stores (mechanically, electrically, by heating, by radiation) - [Predicting Motion Patterns](https://ai.page/c/predicting-motion-patterns/index.md): Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion - [Drawing Particle Diagrams](https://ai.page/c/drawing-particle-diagrams/index.md): Draw and interpret particle diagrams — dot representations showing the arrangement, spacing, and movement of particles in solids (close, regular, vibrating in place), liquids (close, random, flowing past each other), and gases (widely spaced, moving rapidly in all directions) — and use these diagrams to explain observable properties such as fixed shape, fixed volume, and compressibility - [Matter Is Made of Particles](https://ai.page/c/matter-is-made-of-particles/index.md): Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen, and that this explains properties of solids, liquids, and gases - [Physical vs Chemical Changes](https://ai.page/c/physical-vs-chemical-changes/index.md): Distinguish between physical changes (reversible, no new substances formed) and chemical changes (new substances formed, often irreversible), using conservation of mass to understand both types ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 20 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
