Strand C — Matter and EnergyElectrical energy: static and current electricity, circuits, where electrical energy comes from and how to use it responsibly (expectations C1, C2). The museum holds no record for this strand yet.

Brief

Ontario's Grade 6 Science and Technology course has five strands: STEM Skills and Connections, Life Systems, Matter and Energy, Structures and Mechanisms, and Earth and Space Systems ¹. The museum maps parts of four of them and none of Matter and Energy.

How this syllabus works

Each unit below follows the Ministry's expectations; codes such as C2.1 refer to the curriculum document. A lesson shows cards that link records of the museum, each restating what its record says. A lesson for which the museum holds no record says so in its Brief and shows no cards.
