6th Grade Science
Welcome to 6th Grade Science!
Hello! My name is Tracy Oglesby and I will be your 6th grade science teacher for the 2026-2027 school year. Together we will have an amazing year learning to make observations, think critically, and design valid experiments. My hope is that you will use curiosity to solve problems, embrace challenges, and focus on discovery.
This course is designed as an integrated science where we will explore the many diverse branches of science including scientific inquiry, biology, chemistry, as well as Earth and space. You can view a complete list of topics for the class by viewing the link to our Key Objectives.
I am so excited to see where this year leads you! Let this be your best year yet!
Remember that all of your grades can be found in MySA. This website is just for you to access content for the course.

The Nature of Science
What is science? This week we will focus on making observations and how they become scientific questions. We will also be able to develop a valid and testable hypothesis and how to tell the difference between a valid experiment and one that will not give accurate results.
