Part of: [South Carolina: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/sc-sci.md)

Goal: South Carolina academic standards: Science, Grade 6

## 1. Earth and Human Activity

- [Natural Disaster Solutions](https://ai.page/c/natural-disaster-solutions/index.md): Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions

## 2. Earth's Systems

- [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
- [The Water Cycle](https://ai.page/c/the-water-cycle/index.md): Describe the water cycle, tracing water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, and transpiration in plants, explaining how the sun drives the cycle
- [How fossils form](https://ai.page/c/how-fossils-form-2/index.md): Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time

## 3. From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

- [Senses, Brain & Responses](https://ai.page/c/senses-brain-and-responses/index.md): Use a model to describe that animals receive information through their senses, process it in their brain, and respond in different ways
- [Cells to Organ Systems](https://ai.page/c/cells-to-organ-systems/index.md): Describe the hierarchical organisation of multicellular organisms: cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organism
- [Cells Under the Microscope](https://ai.page/c/cells-under-the-microscope/index.md): Understand that all living organisms are made of cells and use a light microscope to observe, interpret, and record cell structure

## 4. Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

- [Waves & Different Materials](https://ai.page/c/waves-and-different-materials/index.md): Explain how waves can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected by different materials, and apply these interactions to explain colour perception, sight, communication technologies, and the effects of different surfaces on wave behaviour

## 5. Energy

- [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)
- [Building an energy-converting device](https://ai.page/c/building-an-energy-converting-device/index.md): Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another

## 6. Matter and Its Interactions

- [How Materials Change State](https://ai.page/c/how-materials-change-state/index.md): Explain melting, freezing, boiling, condensing, and sublimation using the particle model, interpreting heating and cooling curves to identify melting and boiling points
