= = = = =In Anchorage School District’s sixth-grade science curriculum, there are three theme- based kits, disseminated to the 60 elementary schools located within its boundaries. One of these kits focuses on the concept of structures. Students will compare, analyze, and decide, in collaborative groups, what qualities of various structures enable organisms to sustain life in their native biomes. They will also understand that structures can be found everywhere and have a multitude of various uses and purposes. Students will navigate various activities through four sub groups that represent various kinds of structures. Students will learn about many different types of structures and learn how they are important in many ways. After completing the structure activities students will be able to think about structures in many different ways from a global perspective.= = =
