Matter and Energy
Students build upon their knowledge of properties of solids, liquids, and gases and further explore their molecular energies. In Grade 6, students learn how elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids based on their properties on the Periodic Table. Students have previous experience with mixtures in Grade 5. Grade 6 furthers their understanding by investigating the different types of mixtures. Subsequent grades will learn about compounds. In Grade 6, students compare the density of substances relative to fluids and identify evidence of chemical changes.
