Our Objectives

At the end of the session

everybody is expected to have a
thorough understanding of the
Grade 6 Science Curriculum. More
specifically, we should be able to:

distinguish important/significant
contents of the curriculum guide in
Science Grade 6;
Cont..

state how the content standards,

performance standards and learning
competencies complement one
another;
identify the significant key stage
standards and grade level standards;
and
discuss how to use the curriculum
guide in planning for instruction
Lets get started

What comes to your mind when you hear

these words:
CURRICULUM
GUIDE
STANDARDS
 Write two words to describe each
concept in the metacards

What then is a curriculum guide?

A curriculum guide is a structured

document that delineates the
philosophy, goals, objectives,
learning experiences, instructional
resources and assessments that
comprise a specific educational
program.
Activity 1: The IDEAL Grade 6 Learner (20minutes)

Prepare a 3D/multi-dimentional model of your

ideal grade 6 learner.
Materials
Illustration boards
assorted colors of cartolina
adhesive tape/glue
Crayons/permanent markers
pair of scissors/paper cutter
Analysis 1

What common characteristics of a

learner is identified by each
group?

Are these KSAVs achievable

within the grade level? Why do
you think so?

What are your most important

take away/learning in this activity?
Activity 2
How familiar are you with the content
of the Curriculum Guide?

Identify the different

statements/phrases inside the
envelope. Categorize each whether it
is a part of the CONTENT STANDARD,
PERFORMANCE STANDARD or
LEARNING COMPETENCY.
Analysis

How is a content standard,

performance standard and
learning competency differ
from one another?
We now take a look at the
CG Key Standards
What are the highlights of
the 4-6 Key Standards?
Essential Skills of Scientific inquiry
Designing simple investigations
Using appropriate procedure,
materials and tools to gather evidence
Observing patterns
Determining relationships
Drawing conclusions based on
evidence
Communicating ideas in varied ways
Real-life Application

Good health
Ensure the protection and
improvement of the
environment
Practice safety measures
Grade Level Standards
 Broad statements that describe
specific content areas that groups
of students should learn at each
grade level are called Content
Standards.
They define the knowledge within
each discipline.
These standards are also called
Curriculum Standards or Subject
Standards.
 Expectations for instruction,
assessment, and student work are
called Performance Standards.
These incorporate Content
Standards and define the level of
work that demonstrates
achievement of the standards.
They provide all constituents with
the evidences that students have
met the content standards, helping
teachers define what level of work
is satisfactory.
Wrap Up: Road Map to Success

Prepare a road map on how you are going to

implement and achieve the Key Stage Standards
and Grade Level Standards of Grade 6 Science
Curriculum.
