ICSE Class 6 Science, beginner · What to know before you start

Bring with you: Read short everyday English sentences with help when needed. Count, compare numbers and use basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Decimal examples are introduced and shown. Recognise familiar objects and living things. All formal science terms used by this course must be introduced or revisited.

Use science to explain observations, choose useful tests and make thoughtful everyday decisions.

A complete source-mapped Class VI course with short explanations, varied practice, useful visuals and investigations. Online tasks assess specific responses. Physical experiments and notebook work use honest self or adult review.

By the end, you can…

  • Explain states, changes, substances and separation using evidence.
  • Choose measuring tools, read scales and work with suitable units.
  • Explain friction and use simple machines, including lever calculations.
  • Trace light paths, explain shadows and use magnetic evidence.
  • Explain solutions and air, and make practical resource-care decisions.
  • Connect cell and plant structures with their jobs, from leaves to germinating seeds.
  • Follow food, air and blood and connect hygiene with disease prevention.
  • Explain adaptations and plan fair investigations with honest conclusions.

For another Course

  • Class VII and VIII outcomes beyond the preparation needed for Class VI.
  • Automatic grading of physical experiments, microscope handling, personal health or open-ended notebook work.
  • Unsupervised heat, chemical reactions, electricity from sockets or direct viewing of the Sun.
