 * Overview**: The 6th grade science course is divided among ** geology **, astronomy, plants, habitats and ecosystems and man's relationships to them, energy and energy systems. These are areas that most of you know at least a few things about. It will take approximately 45 days to cover the discussion on Geology. That discussion is found on this page, 6-1.

 * Pacing Guides:**

Day1/Month/Year **Goal 1:** TLW design and conduct investigations to demonstrate and understanding of scientific inquiry. **Obj. 1.02** --Develop appropriate experimental procedures (a) given questions and (b) student generated questions
 * NC SCOS Goal/Objective:**

**Obj. 1.03** --Apply safety procedures in the laboratory and in field studies (a) Recognize potential hazards (b) manipulate materials and equipment (c) conduct appropriate procedures **Obj. 1.04** --Analyze variables in scientific investigations (a) Identify dependent and independent variables (b) Use of a control (c) manipulate (d) define relationships between (e) define operationally Goal 2: TLW demonstrate an understanding of technological design. Prior day's Focus/Anticipatory Set: N/A Key/Essential Questions: N/A Today's Focus/Anticipatory Set : To begin a discussion of The Nature Of Science and Technology. Essential Questions: Who are scientists, what do they do, and how do they go about doing science? What methods and processes do scientist use that you will be using? In our future studies of Geology, Astronomy, Plant Processes, Ecology, Habitats, and Energy Systems what do scientist do? Is there a shared means of communication/vocabulary that scientists use that helps them to be better communicators? What the relationship between the scientific method and science inquiry? What is the importance of Lab Safety? What steps do we need to take to ensure lab safety? What are the tools of the scientist? How does he or she communicate their work? Lesson Segment 1 : How does science and scientist work? A. Provide students copies of the Study Guide 1, How Science Works B. C:
