Science 6

Description:

Science 6 is an interactive, inquiry-based course that explores key concepts in life, physical, and Earth sciences. In Semester A, students will investigate life science topics, including cells, body systems, sensory input, and growth and reproduction. Semester B shifts focus to physical and Earth sciences, covering thermal energy, weather and climate, and human impact on the environment. Throughout both semesters, students will engage in hands-on activities, experiments, and engineering challenges that promote problem-solving and critical thinking. This course encourages curiosity and real-world application, helping students develop a deeper understanding of the natural world and the role of technology in scientific discovery.

Student Feedback

The class was very well organized and I loved the way the class was set up!

This course showed a fun way to learn science. I learned a lot of interesting subjects and I cannot wait for my next course! Thanks for teaching me!

At the start, I would walk around with zero care of my natural surroundings, because I had no knowledge of it! But now with the help of NSA science, the fog cleared, and I saw the wonders of science around me! Man, my walks in the sun will never be the same.
