1. “Today we are better than we were yesterday and tomorrow even better”
SCIENCE SYLLABUS
I. GENERAL INFORMATION:
* YEAR : 2013 * HOURS PER WEEK : 6 HOURS
* GRADE : LEVEL 6 * SECTIONS : A, B, C, D
* TEACHERS : Gerty Guabloche, Lisseth Valenzuela
II. RATIONALE :
During this term, we will develop the structure of plants, microorganisms, all about Ecosystems.
Students also learn about Biodiversity. We will discuss the importance of why to preserve the
environment, the way of how living things are classified and the major organ systems in our bodies and
how they work to be healthy.
III. CAPACITIES - SKILLS
TASK COMPRENHENSION
SKILLS MENTAL PROCESSES METHODS
Identifies
Accurately determine the particular
ways that an object or phenomena is
showed, recording its main
characteristics.
- Recognize the given object or
phenomenon through
observation.
- Select the main features of the
given object or phenomenon.
- Differentiate the elements
identified in other elements.
Identifies some characteristics of
facts, processes and natural
phenomena through direct or
indirect observation, recognizing
fundamental characteristics, by
different techniques and strategies.
Explains
Organize information about a situation,
recognizing relationships, development
and possible effects.
- Select information based on a
target.
- Organize the information
according to a criterion
(causes, consequences, etc.).
- Apply the criteria adequately
explanatory.
- Check if the explanation is
correct and consistent with
what is intended.
Explains some information, natural
phenomena and processes through
direct or indirect observation,
recognizing important
characteristics and strategies.
Analyzes
Action primarily intellectual property of
human beings that involves recognition
of elements of a whole, so that
especially distinguishes and notes to
each of them to thereby be able to get
their properties and principles and thus
know more of their nature, function, etc.
The main goal is to know and
understand more deeply something.
- Disruption or separate parts of
a whole thing to study them
carefully, establishing
relationships between them
and determine the meaning of
everything.
- Useful to solve problems.
Requires taking into account
all the factors involved
Analyzes of factual information,
natural phenomena and processes
through direct and indirect
experiences and different strategies

2. CAPACIY: RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTATION

Expressed in a verbal or
written way from a possible
check a fact or phenomenon
observed.
- Observe the facts or phenomena observed.
- Organize a coherent way facts or phenomena
observed.
- Extract the common features of facts or
phenomena observed.
- Develop a common rule or principle
(hypothesis) of the facts or phenomena
observed.
- To test the hypothesis through experimentation.
Observes the cell and
many organisms;
according to its structure
Identify and Data Register

particular ways that an object
or phenomena is showed,
recording its main
characteristics.

fundamental
characteristics, by
different techniques and
strategies.
Conclude and explains

situation, recognizing
relationships, development
and possible effects.
- Select information based on a target.
- Organize the information according to a criterion
(causes, consequences, etc.).
- Apply the criteria adequately explanatory.
- Check if the explanation is correct and
consistent with what is intended.
