Georgia Performance Standards: Year Curriculum Map

This document is part of a framework that is designed to support the major concepts addressed in the 6th Grade Curriculum of the Georgia Performance Standards through the processes of inquiry prior to the CRCT Testing period. These units are written to be stand alone units that may be taught in any sequence. The length of each unit is a suggestion. Unit length should be based on student performance. This framework includes approximately two weeks for review prior to CRCT testing. | |

|NOTE: There are several strategies that are common throughout the units such as the use of a laboratory notebook, written laboratory reports, and common teaching |CRCT Testing |

|strategies. Keeping in mind that the standards are recursive in nature, it should be noted that many of the standards are revisited in different units throughout the | |
