What We Will Learn This Year 

This year in 6th grade, we'll develop a deeper understanding of the Earth through the exploration of the rock cycle, phenomena that shape the Earth, and Earth's history. You will explore the formation and weathering of rocks and how different soil types are found. The Earth Science curriculum includes a deeper exploration into rocks, rock layers, and fossils. The concept of energy is integral throughout the study in earth, life, and physical sciences taught at Slauson Middle School.

Units of Study

  •  Particulate Nature of Matter: Molecules in Motion, Heat and Temperature, and Changing State.
  •  Hydrology: Land & Water: Water Cycle, Erosion and Glaciers. Fruitvale: Groundwater, Pollution, and Human Impact.
  • Catastrophic Events: Storms & Weather, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes.
  •  Earth in Space: The sun-earth-moon system, Solar System, and Earth's History.
