Grade 6 Science Unit

Ontario curriculum based science unit with a nature twist! Each science unit includes pdf instructions and all relevant handouts and digital resources (where applicable). The science unit covers the Ontario curriculum with the exception of coding and an indigenous perspective.

As consultants for Energy Alternative Research Leaders (EARL), your learners have been hired by the Mayor, you, of the new town of Blue Marble to research and decide on the best power source for supplying the town with electricity. The Mayor needs some help understanding static and current electricity, circuits, insulators and conductors, electricity generation, and some background history of electricity, before making the decision of which power source to use. Your learners will assist the Mayor in understanding through clear, professional demonstrations and presentations with this nine-step investigation covering the Ontario curriculum expectations and big ideas.

This unit includes sections on: Static vs Current Electricity; Static Electricity; Insulators and Conductors; Electrical Circuits; History of Electrical Use; James Bay Hydroelectric Project Study; Alternative Research and Presentation; Electricity Transfer and Reducing Use; and a New Device.
