Grade-specific Title
       for Sixth Grade

All grade-specific titles consist of three books, each containing 40+ hours of differentiated curriculum. The books in each series focus on the academic standards for that grade level, and allow students to delve more deeply into each subject area. We offer both grade-specific and multiage curricula for sixth grade students.

        Sixth Grade—Frontiers

What is a frontier? What are the frontiers of the future? What frontiers are being explored today? These and other questions are answered in this conceptual study of frontiers . Students will explore forgotten pioneers in westward expansion, the civil rights movement, and medicine. They take a close look at the field of genetics noting the makeup of DNA, genetic inheritance, and the prediction of traits. Energy is examined from many perspectives from food webs to deep space travel. Plato said, “The learning and knowledge that we have is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.” As long as we seek knowledge, frontiers will be ever-present.

Each book contains the following subtopics:
Frontiers Book 1: Pioneers, Genetics, and Energy

Frontiers Book 2: Geography, Explorers, and Literature

Frontiers Book 3: Geology, Astronomy, and Ecology
