This Grade 6 science course offers a comprehensive introduction to physical, biological, and environmental sciences. From understanding what’s in our food to learning how magnets work, the course blends core scientific concepts with real-world relevance. Students engage in inquiry-based learning through experiments, demonstrations, and projects across life science, physics, chemistry, and environmental studies.

Key Benefits:

• Covers a wide range of real-world science topics
• Builds observation, experimentation, and classification skills
• Encourages curiosity with hands-on activities and visuals
• Prepares students for middle school science and Olympiads
• Strengthens awareness of health, nature, and sustainability
