Twigg Science Curriculum Overview

The video introduces a sixth-grade science curriculum that includes various interactive and project-based learning activities. Students will engage in a 3D team challenge, explore biotechnology and virtual microscopy, design a prosthetic hand, and learn about extreme environments and global weather. They will also research endangered species and develop conservation plans, culminating in designing sustainable cities of the future. The curriculum aims to equip students with the skills to contribute to enhancing the human body and tackling climate change.
