Class VI Detailed Syllabus

Motion: Measurement of length
- Change in position with time
- Observation and identification of different types of moving objects (land, air, water, space)
- Demonstrating objects with multiple movements (screw motion, bicycle wheel, fan, top)
- Observing periodic motion (hands of a clock/watch, Sun, Moon, Earth)
Light
- Classification of materials (transparent, translucent, opaque)
- Shadow formation (requires a light source and an opaque obstruction; shadows are always black)
- Reflecting surfaces and how images differ from shadows
Electricity and Electric Current
- Electric circuits (current flow in an unbroken loop with a cell and components)
- Conductors and insulators
- Activities using bulbs, cells, keys, and wires; building a switch and open/closed circuits
- Opening a dry cell and experimenting with material conductivity
Fun with Magnets
- Magnets, poles, and freely suspended magnets aligning in fixed directions (North and South)
- Magnetic attraction and repulsion (like poles repel, unlike poles attract)
- Classification of magnetic and non-magnetic objects
- Activities involving iron filings, paper, suspended bar magnets, and compass needles
Rain, Thunder and Lightning
- Evaporation, condensation, and states of water
- Water cycle and simple models
- Condensation experiments (outer surface of cold water glass, boiling water steam on a spoon)

Number System: Different types of numbers, Kaprekar number, Kaprekar constant, Self-Number, Triangular to Hexagonal numbers, Virhanka Number, whole numbers, integers, properties (closure, identity, commutative, associative, distributive), estimation, rounding off, use of brackets, and order of operations
Factors and Multiples: Prime and composite numbers, even and odd numbers, divisibility rules (including 7, 11, and 13), LCM, HCF, and prime factorisation
Fractions and Decimals: Types of fractions and numerical operations
