Welcome to 6th Grade Science!

Our goals for this quarter:

• You will develop and use models to represent that matter is made up of smaller particles called atoms.
• Analyze and interpret data to show that changes in states of matter are caused by different rates of movement of atoms in solids, liquids, and gases .
• Plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate that variations in temperature and/or pressure affect changes in the state of matter.
