6th Grade Social Studies
		SS Homepage ------ 6th Grade ------- 7th Grade ------- 8th grade
			The 6th grade curriculum builds a foundation for the middle school examination of the world with a study of the Eastern Hemisphere. Four regional units are presented: North Africa and Southwest Asia, Africa South of the Sahara, Asia, and Australia, Oceania, and Antarctica. Each unit employs thematic approaches and includes a geographic survey. An additional important unit entitled “The World” introduces key concepts of geography and shows its relation to science by explaining topics such as plate tectonics, climate zones, global warming, and the water cycle. Key world culture concepts are also introduced such as major religions, economic and political systems, world trade, and the effects of technology and globalization. Social Studies vocabulary and geography specific terms such as latitude and longitude are reviewed, explored, and practiced.
