6th Grade Science Class
Intrigued by the intricate workings of our planet, Mr. Curry's 6th grade science classes are delving into the fascinating world of Earth's spheres. They are investigating the biosphere, where life thrives, the hydrosphere, a vast ocean of water, the atmosphere, a protective blanket of air, and the geosphere, the solid ground beneath their feet. Through hands-on activities and engaging discussions, they are discovering how these interconnected spheres shape the environment around them.
