Grade 6 Science and Technology Topics Summary
Topic 1: Parts of a Plant: Leaves, Stem, Leaves, and Roots
Plants are a major part of the environment. A plant is made of different parts including flowers, roots, leaves, the stem and more. Identify these parts on a diagram and read on their features and functions. Explore the main types of roots; tap root and fibrous roots and their differences.
Topic 2: Invertebrates (Animals and their Environment)
Invertebrates are animals without a backbone. Read on the main categories of invertebrates including insects, arachnids, and Millipedes and centipedes. Learn the advantages of various invertebrates to the environment and more so to us, humans.
Topic 3: Human Circulatory System - The Human Body
The human circulatory system is composed mainly of the heart, the blood, and blood vessels. Observe diagrams to see the various parts of the heart and their features and functions. Read on the types of blood vessels and their functions. Learn and understand the four main blood groups and read on blood transfusion.
Topic 4: Human Reproductive System - The Human Body
The human reproductive system is divided into male reproductive system and the female reproductive system. Read on the male and female reproductive systems and learn on the functions of major parts of both systems. Further, read on the physical changes that occur in boys and girls during adolescence.
Topic 5: Properties of Matter - Expansion and Contraction and Composition of Air
In Grade 4, you were introduced to states of matter. Now, learn on expansion and contraction of liquids, gases, and liquids and how they are applied in real life. Did you know air is made up of different gases? Read on the composition of air and how different gases are used in everyday life.
Topic 6: Environment - Water Conservation
What is water conservation? Water conservation means to use water properly by avoiding wastage. Read on the different methods of water conservation, including reusing water, harvesting rain water, mulching, and more. Learn how you can conserve water at school and at home.
Topic 7: Force and Energy - Friction, Light Energy, and Machines
Read about friction and how it is used in everyday life and helps in walking, rubbing the board, lighting a matchstick. Learn how you can increase and reduce friction. Further, read and understand light energy, more so refection. Through reflection, you can look yourself in the mirror. What are other applications of refection. Finally, read on machines and examples of inclined planes.
